# Initial Setup

## Setup Awaiting Action Settings

To use Kvalifika at its best it is recommended to setup Awaiting Action criteria from the `Settings` > `Configuration` > `Session` > `Awaiting Actions` section of the admin panel. The settings determine whether the Users' Verification Sessions are automatically accepted, declined, or require manual review based on the provided documents.

## Customization

Kvalifika configuration enables various options for the customization of the appearance and flow of the verification session. This can be done from `Settings` > `Branding` > `Customization`:

Currently, it is not possible to use customized logo and document icon through integration.  However, it is possible to add desired images through customers' applications.

## Retrieve Application IDs

For communication with Kvalifika, it is necessary to add Application to the Admin Panel: `Settings` > `Security` and  retrieve Application ID and Application Secret Key:

Application ID is necessary for client-side SDKs (web or mobile) and the Application secret key is used to retrieve the personal data from Kvalifika.
