Setting up your ecosystem includes uploading your members, creating custom attributes, and customizing your profiles so you can begin managing your ecosystem members. It also can include creating member groups and attribute groups, adding more users and managing their access permission, and creating dashboards. 

Fight the urge to jump into the platform and take time to plan your implementation out in advance. This means deciding on who will be tracked as a member, which attributes to add and how to categorize them, and creation of a data dictionary or workflow guidance to keep your terminology and attributes clean, comparable, and well organized over time.
