# 6.5.1.2. Creating a set
{% hint style="info" %}
Registry Administrators and Registry Maintainers can create a set of the lists and spatial data of the Geo-Object Types under the curation mandate of their organization.
{% endhint %}
#### To create a set:
1. Go to the *Lists and Spatial Data* module either by clicking the module icon in the main menu page or by clicking the hamburger menu () on the upper right corner and selecting **Lists and Spatial Data**.\\
2. In the left sidebar, find the organization of which you are a member (this should be the first organization in the list). The Geo-Object Types that have been created are listed under each organization they belong to. Under your organization, click on the Geo-Object Type for which you are creating a new set.\\
3. Click the **Create New List and Spatial Data** button.\\
4. The *Configuration* window opens. First, select the type of list by clicking the corresponding radio button:\
\
a. *Single date:* This list type publishes lists that show the state of all Geo-Objects on a single given date.\
b. *Frequency-based:* This list type publishes lists at a fixed frequency (annual, biannual, quarterly, monthly) from a given start date.\
c. *Period-based:* This list publishes lists for each specified validity period where all the attribute, hierarchy and geometry values of all Geo-Objects for a given Geo-Object Type are the same.
5. Fill out all the required fields and any optional fields that are relevant in the form.\\
| Field | Description | Required |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- |
| Code | The unique human readable identifier. Code can be used to determine the uniqueness of a List and Spatial Data set if duplicate display labels exist in the system. A unique code is automatically generated by the system. However, you may replace this with another code. | Required |
| Title | The title for the set in the default locale. | Required |
| Description (Abstract) | The description of the content of the set | Required |
| Geo-Object Type | The Geo-Object Type covered by the set. This field is auto-filled. | |
| Geo-Object Type Code | The code for the Geo-Object Type covered by the set. This field is auto-filled. | |
| Include Latitude and Longitude | For point-type Geo-Object Type only: indication of whether you want the latitude and longitude to be displayed in the list. | |
| Parents | The hierarchies the Geo-Object Type for which the set is being created belongs to, as well as the considered parents of the Geo-Object Type in those hierarchies. Selecting one or more of the participating hierarchies and parent Geo-Object Types will add the code and display labels from those hierarchies to your list. | |
6. Fill out the next section depending on the selected list type:
1. *Single date:* Type or select the date that all the Geo-Objects in the list are valid on.\\
2. Frequency-based: Select the frequency and type or select the starting date when the list will be published.\
3. *Period-based:*
1. Click on the **New** button to add a new validity period.\
2. Type or select the start and end date of a validity period.\
7. Fill out all the fields in the *Metadata* section for both the list and spatial data.

8. Click the **Submit** button.
9. Once created, you will see the created set on the page. Click on its title.\\
10. You will see the imported list and spatial data for the Geo-Object Type. Click the **Metadata** button.\\
11. Set the following parameters for both the list and spatial data:
1. *Is Master:* Check the box if list or spatial data is the master data.
2. *Visibility:* Choose either public (visible to users of all organizations) or private (visible only to users of your own organization)\\
You have now created a set of list and spatial data including their metadata.
