## 17.1. Creating New Subdomains

New subdomains are created by selecting Insert > Sub Domain from the main menu or by clicking Subdomain on the main toolbar. Note that creation of subdomains from the main menu or toolbar may subsequently require selection of the appropriate analysis type and domain. Subdomains can also be created by right-clicking the appropriate domain in the Outline view.

1. Enter a new name using the syntax described below or pick an existing subdomain to edit.

2. Select the parent domain for the subdomain.

Additional information on valid names is available in Valid Syntax for Named Objects. You can also edit an existing subdomain by selecting its name from the drop-down list. Existing subdomains can also be edited from the Outline view using the usual methods; for details, see Outline Tree View.
