Project's entities detail boxes
### 3.2.1 Add Project Dataset
When a project is created, it will have no associated datasets. On the project's details page this situation will be highlighted in the *Data of this project* detail box as follows:
![Alt]({{ "img/project_add_dataset.png" | relative_url }}){:width="600px"}
In order to create a Dataset and automatically link it to the project:
1. Click the **Add** button pointed by the arrow in the *Data of this project* detail box.
2. You will see the **Dataset Creation Quick Form** as below. The *Project* field will be auto-selected, in addition you need to provide *Local Custodians* and a *Title* for your dataset. Typically the local custodians would be the same as the project, but you are free to choose any user as the custodian. Remember that one of the custodians needs to be a VIP user. Provide the field values and press submit.
![Alt]({{ "img/project_add_dataset_form.png" | relative_url }}){:width="800px"}
3. Once the dataset is created, you will be taken to the **Dataset's Details Page**, seen below. You can continue working on the data set as described in [section Dataset Management]({{ "/manual/#4-dataset-management" | relative_url }}).
If you want to go back to the Project that owns this dataset, then you can click the project link in the dataset's overview box, highlighted below.
