# Get started 2 - Set up your studio

## Let's start by creating the foundations of your studio. This includes adding your logo, venues, T&C's, staff accounts and customising your registration forms.

 Follow the guide below on the 5 steps to setting up your school. If one does not apply for you then simply skip that step (you can always come back to it another time) 😇

**1. Adding your company logo - **Adding your logo to Class Manager will ensure that extra personal touch when sending emails, invoices and on your customer portal.

1. Click `<` to the right of `Settings` and in the expanded menu click `Company` and then `Information`
2. On the top left of the page there is the section **Logo Uploader. **Select the `Upload` button and select your image 
3. Once the image has successfully been uploaded, you should be able to see the file name on the page. You can then select to `Save` in the top right hand corner of the page. You should now see your logo under the **Logo Uploader** section.

All our invoices default with a white background. To ensure that your logo blends nicely into the design, we recommend uploading it in either PNG format with a transparent or white background.

2. Fill in their essential details like their *first name*, *surname*, and *email address*. These are crucial for their profile setup.

**5. Customising your registration forms - **Add personalised questions to your registration forms such as medical information and photo consent.

1. Click `<` to the right of `Settings` and in the expanded menu click `Custom Attributes` then click on `Create` 
2. Choose the right attribute type, for example a **Checkbox** which allows a **yes/no** answer may be used for asking about phot consent.
3. Give the attribute a **name**, this name will be the internal header that shows when you go to apply it. For example 'Photo Consent'. 
4. Then pick where the attribute will be **attached** to, so for photo consent, you may want to select 'Student'.
5. You will now be able to choose where this custom attribute is shown/edited. You will be able to select from the checkboxes. These options allow you to control the custom attribute on the portal.
