# Properties

**Properties** represent different websites, native apps, or other digital surfaces that your organization operates. Each property can have its own privacy center, consent banners, and data subject request forms, customized with your specific branding and messaging.

The same properties you configure for consent management are also used for **Data Subject Request (DSR)** [dataset filtering](/content/docs/privacy-requests/guides/properties/index.html). There is no need to create separate properties -- a single property entity serves both purposes. When a privacy request includes a `property_id`, Fides filters the dataset graph to include only the datasets relevant to that property, reducing scope, cost, and risk.

## Creating a property [Permalink for this section](/content/docs/platform/configuration/properties#creating-a-property/index.html)

1. Navigate to **Settings > Properties** in the Fides Admin UI.
2. Click the **Add a property** button.
3. Fill in the following required details:
   - **Property name**: A descriptive name for your property (e.g., "Main Website", "Mobile App").
   - **Type**: Select the type of property ("Website" or "Other").

After creating a property, Fides assigns it a unique **property ID** (e.g., `FDS-ABC123`). You can find this ID in two places:

- Within each Property's profile, reachable from the **Settings > Properties** page.
- Via the API: `GET /api/v1/plus/properties` returns a paginated list of all properties with their IDs.

You can configure privacy center settings for the property in the [Privacy Center Configuration](/content/docs/privacy-center-fidesjs/privacy-center/configuration/index.html).
