# Adding a sub-entry

You may want to create some entries as sub-entries - ie as 'child items' of a main entry in the entry tree:

The quickest way to create a sub-entry:

1. View the entry you want to have a sub-entry.
2. Type Ctrl+Alt+N (or ?+?+N on the Mac), and a sub-entry is created.

You can then edit the title and entry type, type and save your entry. It will appear as a sub-entry in the entry tree, but appear like other entries in the entry list and calendar views.

Alternatively:

1. View the entry you want to have a sub-entry.
2. Open the 'Entry Tree' view in the left-hand pane.
3. Right-click the entry and choose 'New Sub Entry' from the menu that appears:![new subentry screenshot](https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/newsubentry.png)
