Before you can start tracking visitors, you must set up a **Web Property** in the dashboard. A **Property** represents your website within the Content Recommendation platform and tells our system which site you want to track.

## Prerequisites

- Access to the Content Recommendations dashboard
- The primary hostname and any additional subdomains you intend to track
- The name of the region where your Content Recs instance is deployed:
  - APAC01
  - CAEA01
  - EMEA01
  - USEA01

:::hint{type="info"}
The region name can be acquired by logging into the dashboard and checking the URL. For example, if your URL is `https://manager.usea01.idio.episerver.net/`, your region name is `USEA01`.

## Create a web property

1. Log in to the Content Recommendations portal.
2. Go to **Content > Properties**.
3. Click **Add Web Property** and complete the following:
   1. Enter a descriptive **Title** for your property, such as your website's name.
   2. Add all **Hostnames**, such as the domains and subdomains, you want to track. For example, `www.example.com`, `blog.example.com`.
   3. (Optional) Add a **Collection** name to organize your properties.
   4. Click **Save**. Your property is displayed on the property list under **Add Properties**.
   5. Click **Edit**. You are redirected to the **Edit Property** page. In the **Tracking JavaScript** section, locate the unique identifiers, such as your **Client ID** and **Delivery ID**. These are required for tracking script configuration.
