# Data Levels

## Overview

The **Data levels** workspace is used to create, manage, and delete data levels. In Lucanet, a distinction is made between the following two data level types in which the data is stored:

- Actual data level
- Planning data level

While there is exactly one actual data level, you can create up to 254 planning data levels in Lucanet. Planning data levels are always based on the actual data level starting at a certain point in time.

In this article, the configuration of the **actual data level** is described. Creating and configuring the **Planning data level** is explained in [Creating and Configuring Planning Data Levels](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/consolidation-financial-planning/platform-dimensions/data-levels/create-configure-planning-datalvls.md).
