You must include a first name and last name in your profile to create challenge environments.

Background

The Turtlehead Tacos restaurant franchise wants you to help them build experiences for their customers using Yext. They’re excited to create a centralized hub for all of their brand information.

Turtlehead Tacos needs a few different kinds of entities for their brand:

Restaurants where customers can come to get delicious food
Events that they host at their restaurants or other local hotspots
FAQs to help answer common questions their staff get
Menu Items for their tacos, of course!

Turtlehead Tacos is also active in local communities and they want to highlight their efforts on their website. They call these initiatives “Community Stories.” Each one has a description of the goal and theme, as well as a video.

Can you help bring their brand to life with Yext?

Your Challenge

Navigate to Knowledge Graph > Configuration > Entity Types.
Click the Add Custom Entity Type button to create the Community Story entity type.
- Name the Entity Type “Community Story”
- Make sure the API name is ce_communityStory
- Add a plural name of “Community Stories”
- Add a description of your choosing so other people know what the entity type is for
Add the Description and Videos fields to the “Core Information” section by clicking the plus sign icon, selecting Add Field and searching for the fields.
Select the Visible on Add option for the Videos field, but do not make it required. No other settings are needed for the Description field.
Click Save at the bottom of the screen.
From the Entity Types Configuration screen, enable the relevant built-in Entity Types (Restaurants, Events, FAQs) and the new Community Story type.
Make Restaurants the primary entity type.
Add the first Community Story entity. Click the dropdown arrow on the Community Story entity type and select Add Entity. Enter the information as shown:
- Name: Save the Turtles
- Entity ID: CS-1 (Hint: Click to expand Additional Settings to set the Entity ID, or save the entity and update it after the entity is created.)

After you create the entity, update the Description to:

Turtlehead Tacos helped save over 1,000 turtles in and around the Dallas Area in 2017 through a series of community efforts to rehabilitate local streams. With help from local heroes like Mark Cuban and Tony Romo, learn more about how Turtlehead Tacos gave back to its namesake.

Congrats, you’ve added a custom entity type and added your first entity to the Knowledge Graph! You’ll learn more about how to create custom fields and link entities together in upcoming modules.
