# Creating a centre

Creating a centre will allow you to manage applications, sort out your reviewers and create teams to limit access. The centres are where you will review any applications as well as see previous applications.

### Adding Applications

You can read more about adding applications in the following section[Creating applications](/getting-started/creating-applications.md#creating-the-application)

### Adding Centre Teams

Teams on your Centre to allow only certain people to read certain applications. For example, if you have a ban appeals application and you only want the HR team to view them, you can create the team named "HR" (or something similar) and then you can add the relevant HR members. To make an application team-specific read more about it at [Creating applications](/getting-started/creating-applications.md#reviewer-teams)

{% hint style="info" %}

### Setting up Notifications

5. Place the link in the text box under the subheading "Discord App Webhook" and then click the "Update" button&#x20;
6. Finally, to active the discord logging, on the bottom "Basic Centre Settings" section, toggle the "Discord Notifications" button until it goes green and a success message appears to confirm you have made the change successfully
7. If you would rather applicants receive email updates, you can toggle the "Email Notifications" switch and emails will then be sent to them with updates on their applications (only works if the applicant has a linked email address). Once you change the setting, you will receive a notification on the bottom right informing you as to whether the change was successful

### Connecting Discord Server

{% hint style="warning" %}
To link your Discord Server to your centre, you will need a linked Discord account on AppSystems and you must be an administrator on the server.

\
You must also have our "\[AS] Hub" Discord bot within your server with the relevant permissions. If you do not have these things, you **will** receive an error message when trying to connect
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to Discord and find the server you wish to link
2. To get the server ID, you must have [Discord Developer mode](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID-) active
3. Right-click on the server icon and select the "Copy ID" button
4. Now using your web browser, navigate to the centre management page and scroll down to the "Discord Settings" section
5. Under the subtitle "Connected Discord Server" in the textbox, paste the server id you have just copied (replace any text in the box) and then click the "Update" button
6. If everything is successful, you will receive a success message on the bottom right side of the screen
