 ===== Set up profile fields =====
-The first step is to think about the data you want to store for each member. Admidio provides a standard set of profile fields. However, you can [[en:2.0:profile#how_can_I_configure_the_profile_fields|change and extend them as you wish]]. To do this, go to the **Members** module and select the **Edit profile fields** action there.

 At this point you can also consider [[en:2.0:profile#who_can_edit_which_profile_fields|who is allowed to edit the corresponding profile field]]. If members are to be able to register via the website, then it is also important to set which fields are displayed during registration and whether these are mandatory fields.

 ===== Import members =====
 If you have already managed your members in another programme, you can import these members very easily. If there is no member data yet, you can skip this step.
-You can find the import in the module **Members**. Select the action **Import members**. Admidio supports importing from an Excel file (xlsx and xls), an open document spreadsheet (ods), a CSV file or an html table. During your first import you should assign all members to the role **Members**. During the import you have the possibility to assign each field from your source file to a profile field in Admidio.\\

 ===== Create groups & roles =====

 Now you should have created the rough structure of your group, organisation or club and assigned the various rights. If you find out later that you are missing roles or that the rights were not assigned well, you can always adjust them and slowly configure the system so that it works the way you want it to.
+===== Set up registration =====
+In the next step, you can set up the registration according to your wishes. Registration gives you two different options for dealing with your members. On the one hand, you can allow already created or imported members to access the system or you can allow new members to enter their personal data when registering so that you can then store them in the system. Both options are described in [[en:2.0:registration|a separate wiki article]]. \\

 ===== Important settings =====
 In the last step, we will go through important settings that you should check or set before using Admidio productively. We will only briefly describe the important settings here. It makes sense to go through all the available settings later on and check whether they are suitable for you.
 Now go to the **Settings** module and select the area documented here:
-  * **Registration:** Here you can decide whether you want to allow new members to register via Admidio. You can also use registration to assign login details to existing members.
+  * **Regional settings** Starting here you need to set your language and maybe country specifics formats e.g. date and time.
-  * **Email delivery:** One of the most important areas in the configuration. If you have SMTP access to send emails, it makes sense to use this. Also check with your hoster what restrictions they have on sending e-mails. Admidio offers a wide range of settings to adapt this to the hoster's conditions.

   * **Messages:** In addition to sending e-mails, you should also take a look at the settings for the Messages module. Here you can set or remove further settings which are relevant for a member when creating an e-mail.
-  * **System notifications:** You should also take a quick look here. In the beginning it makes sense to be notified of new entries or changes to profile data. This way you can see if everyone is using the system the way you want. You can also adapt the notification texts at this point.
