Create entities from observables#
Observables depend on entities to provide context. You can create these entities when working with observables:
- Indicators 
- Sightings 
To create an entity from observables:
In the Observables view
- In the left navigation bar, go to Search  > GO SEARCH AND BROWSE > Browse > Observables. > GO SEARCH AND BROWSE > Browse > Observables.
- Select the menu icon  in the row corresponding to the observable you
want to convert to a sighting. in the row corresponding to the observable you

In the Observables detail pane
- In the left navigation bar, go to Search  > GO SEARCH AND BROWSE > Browse > Observables. > GO SEARCH AND BROWSE > Browse > Observables.
- Select anywhere in the row corresponding to the observable you want to convert to a sighting.

- In the entity detail pane, select the Observables tab. 
- From the drop-down menu select Create sighting or Create indicator - This creates a new entity, with the selected observables automatically added. 
Bulk action on multiple observables
You can also select multiple observables, and then you can convert them to sightings at once:
- Browse to the Observables view or open the Observables tab in the entity detail pane of the entity whose observables you want to convert to sightings. 
- Select the checkboxes corresponding to the observables you want to convert to sightings. 
- Select the menu icon  above the table header, and from the drop-down
