# Step 1 - Configure services

Upon completing the "new status page" form, you'll have the opportunity to configure your services and components:

You can quickly enter your services in text format on the above screen, even with parent/child relationships. For instance, the following text would generate a service `API` with two children, US and EU, representing two regions where `API` is available.

```
API
- US region
- EU region
```

Once you click "Continue," you'll still have the chance to add/remove services via our friendly UI. Click on "Services" from the sidebar, and you should see your editable and sortable services list:

Here, you can add or edit services and select their parents in order to re-arrange their parent/child relationship.
