# Create a New Notebook
The **Create Notebook** feature on the Deka GPU Service Portal is used to create a new Deka Notebook instance. To create a new notebook, open the **Notebook** menu on the left sidebar to access the **Deka Notebook** page, then click the **+ Add Notebook** button located at the top-right corner of the page.
The Create Deka Notebook page will appear, containing several configuration fields that need to be completed before creating a new Deka Notebook. In this page, you can configure the compute resources such as CPU and Memory (RAM), define the storage type and storage size, and select the notebook environment image to be used.
### 1. Initial Notebook
In the Name field, enter the name of the Deka Notebook that will be created. Use a clear and unique name to make the notebook easier to identify and manage.
Select the **namespace** to be used. For more details about namespaces, refer to the **Namespace Type** subsection.
In the **Purpose of Use field,** select the notebook usage category that matches your needs. This option helps define the primary use of the Deka Notebook, such as AI/ML model training and deployment, deep learning research, NLP, or computer vision workloads.
### 2. Compute Resources
In the Compute Resources section, first select the GPU Type that will be used for the Deka Notebook. After selecting the GPU type, the GPU Count options will appear. Choose the number of GPUs according to your workload and resource requirements.
Adjust the CPU allocation by dragging the slider according to the compute resources required for the Deka Notebook. The selected CPU value will be displayed automatically in the vCPU field.
Adjust the Memory (RAM) allocation by dragging the slider according to the notebook requirements. The selected memory size will automatically appear in the GB field.
### 3. Storage
In the **Storage** section, click the **Storage Type** field, then select the storage type that will be used for the notebook instance.
Adjust the **Storage Size** by dragging the slider or entering the desired storage capacity in the available field. The storage size is calculated in GB.
In the **Environment** section, select the image that will be used for the notebook instance by clicking one of the available image options.
After all required configurations have been completed, review the information in the **System Check** panel. This section functions as a validation summary to ensure that all notebook configurations, such as Name, Compute, Storage, and Image, have been filled in correctly.
If all items display a green checkmark, it means the configuration is complete and the notebook is ready to be created.
Click the **Create** button to start creating the notebook instance.
If the notebook creation process is successful, the system will display the notification **“Deka Notebook has been successfully created”**. The notebook status will then appear in the notebook list.
