Note, this button is only available for the programme coordinator role.

If you are starting from scratch, you might not have any required _show type_ and
_funding category_ metadata defined yet.

Learn how to manually define categorization options in the
[Radio Station Administration](station-administration.md) chapter.

Alternatively contact your IT support team, asking them to add a default set of metadata
using fixtures.

## Configure show details

After the show has been created, move to the [Show Settings](show-settings.md) and update the default settings, like the show owner, categorization options, logo and other details.

Then switch to the [Calendar View](../calendar/index.md) to create new schedules.
