# Entities

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/B_Pq0O7CcD0>" %}

An Entity is a complex data type representing a [Person](/alldrafts-documentation/person.md), [Organization](/alldrafts-documentation/organization.md), or Address.

Entities are stored in documents as their own data items, because an Entity might carry more information than is presently shown in the text of the document (e.g. an Entity may be referenced only by name, but have an associated address and other information).

When building contract templates, choosing Entity as the [field type](/alldrafts-documentation/fields/field-types.md) allows a template user to choose a Person or an Organization when the template is filled in.
