# Experiments

## Onboarding Process

For access to XP, users can self-onboard via the MLP UI.

1. Visit MLP Landing Page, open the sidebar and click `Experiments`. ![MLP Landing Turing Experiments](/files/MPLT834H4oFMg9so7Lwr)
2. You should see the following Landing page, if you have yet to setup the project for Experiments. ![Experiments Landing](/files/sXz19AcO3Rbeu5xcUwqQ)
3. Upon clicking 'here' in the previous page, you should see a form to input the necessary settings. ![Experiments Settings Create Form](/files/7saQ871NciOda2X2d3TV)
4. Enter a name for the Randomization Key and select the Segmenters.
   * The order of the segmenters determines the priority of the segmenters when optional segmenters are used. For example, if the chosen segmenters are `s2_ids`, and `days_of_week` (in that order) and a given request matches 2 experiments - one where the `s2_ids` is optional and another one where the `days_of_week` is optional, the s2\_ids experiment (where there is an exact match of the s2\_ids) will be chosen. For more information and examples, please refer to the [Experiment Hierarchy](/introduction/core-concepts/concepts-1.md#Experiment-Hierarchy) section in the Introduction page.
   * Where the segmenter may be computed from several different (groups of) variables at runtime, also select the desired variable mapping. For example, `s2_ids` may be supplied as `s2_id` or computed from `latitude,longitude`. This must be specified in the settings.
5. Click on Save. And voila! The onboarding is complete and you should see the configured settings. The project credentials (in particular, the `passkey`) would be required for running experiments ([Turing](https://github.com/caraml-dev/turing/tree/main/docs) takes care of this if you are running the experiments through its routers). ![Experiments Settings Details](/files/XAr4tPSdYkzEFobLHPou)
