# Configure

The **Configure** part of the sidebar is where you define the structure of your data before you load it. Registry Administrators set this up for their organization.

| [Business Types](/version/v2.0.0/configure/business-types.md)                           | Kinds of data that aren't geospatial, and how they relate to each other and to Geo-Objects.         |

## A typical setup order

1. Add the [Source Authorities](/version/v2.0.0/configure/source-authorities.md) and [Data Sources](/version/v2.0.0/configure/data-sources.md) your data comes from.
2. If you'll classify Geo-Objects, set up [Concepts](/version/v2.0.0/configure/concepts.md) first, because a Geo-Object Type's Concept Set can only be chosen when the type is created.
3. Create your [Geo-Object Types](/version/v2.0.0/configure/geo-objects-and-hierarchies/geographic-object-types-outside-a-group.md) and [hierarchies](/version/v2.0.0/configure/geo-objects-and-hierarchies/hierarchies.md).
4. Create any [Business Types](/version/v2.0.0/configure/business-types.md) and Business Edge Types you need.
5. Load your data. See [Curate](/version/v2.0.0/curate.md).
