### Initial Setup

1. After completing the initial [onboarding](/start-guide/whats-shipper-crm/onboarding.md) process, you'll be directed to the organization setup screen.
2. Here, you'll be prompted to set your organization name. This is the top-level name for your brokerage.
3. When prompted to select your organization structure, select `Single Team`
4. Set up the corporate workspace name.
5. Review your setup and confirm.

### Inviting New Members

Owners can invite members to the organization or to a specific workspace. Here's how:

1. Go to the "Members" tab in Settings, under the 'Organization' section.
2. Click the "Invite People" button.
3. In the modal, enter the person's email address. **This should match the email domain of your brokerage.**
4. If you want to add them to specific workspace(s), select the workspace via the dropdown.
5. Click "Send Invites".
