# Setup

> Create a new point system and configure it.

> Setting up a point system starts with naming it, defining how members can use it, and activating it for your
> community. This guide walks you through the entire process.

## Step 1 - Open point systems

Navigate to the **Points** tab in your community dashboard and click the **Create point system** button. This will
open a form where you can create and configure a brand new point system.

## Step 2 - Configure the point system

You'll be asked to provide the following details about the point system:

* **Emoji**: An icon shown next to the point system across all user-facing surfaces.
* **Name**: Point system name, for example `Gems`, `XP`, `Reputation`, or `S1 Prestige`.
* **Description**: A short explanation of what the points are for.

</Frame>

Each point system also has two important behavior flags:

* **Transferable**: Members can move balances between each other.
* **Burnable**: Members can destroy their own points, decreasing the point system's supply.

These settings also determine how the point system is categorized:

* If the system is **transferable** or **burnable**, it is labeled as a **currency**.
* If the system is neither transferable nor burnable, it is labeled as **experience**.

  <Card title="Currency" icon="coins">
    Great for community coins, loyalty systems, and anything members should be able to move or spend.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Experience" icon="chart-line-up">
    Great for rank progression, reputation, karma, seasonal XP, or other non-tradeable scores.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  Point system category is informational only and does not affect its behavior.

## Step 3 - Activate the point system

Click **Save** to create the point system. Once created, it will appear in the point systems list together with
its holder count, status, and category.

</Frame>

## Step 4 - What's next?

After creation, you can open the point system and go through the following tabs:

* **Holders** to view holders, as well as import point balances from other systems.
* **Activity** to view point system transactions, and credit or debit users manually.
* **Roles** to configure Discord roles granted automatically to users based on their balance.
* **Conversions** to define exchange rates between different point systems.
* **Settings** to access the point system's configuration.
