# Add a tenant

Once you have [enabled multitenancy](/19/docs/enable-multitenancy) you can then start to use it by going to *Quick-access menu > Tenants*.

If no tenants have been previously created then the tenants pages will be empty, except for the **Add tenant** button, which you can use to add your first tenant.

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Tenants*.
2. Click the **Add tenant** button.
3. Complete the [settings](/19/docs/tenant-settings).
4. Click **Add tenant**.

Once you have at least one tenant you can start using the embedded report on the **T****enants** page. This report can be customised using the report builder tool by clicking **Edit this report**. You can customise the report to suit your exact needs by adding useful columns.
