# CMS - Configuration and Setup

Create store associates manually or through a feed in Point of Sale CMS. Add associates so they can view store analytics in the CMS.

You can create a store associate in the Point of Sale Content Management System (CMS) through manual entry or loading a feed. It is recommended to use the feed if you're creating many associates.

1. Go to **Store Management > Associates > Associates**.
2. (Manual) Select a store and select **Add** in the top right. Create a store associate using the table below.
3. (Feed) See [Store Associate Feed](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.rt_adv_config_data_feeds_specs_store_ass.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The store associate feed drives the functionality that creates store associates for all stores. If an associate exists in Point of Sale, all of the data is updated with content from the file.").
4. Select **Save**.
