  1. Go to Application Menu > Data Catalog > Mapping Manager.
  2. Under the Workspace Mappings pane, right-click a project.
  3. Click New Subject Area.

    4. The Add Subject page appears.

  4. Enter the Subject Name and Subject Description.

    5. Note: You can use additional fields and define UI labels in Language Settings.

  5. Click .

    6. A new subject area is created and saved under the project node.

You can create subject areas within a subject area. These subject areas are called nested subject areas.

To create nested subject areas, follow these steps:

  1. Under the Workspace Mappings pane, right-click a subject area.

  2. Click New Subject Area.

    3. The Add Subject page appears.

  3. Enter the Subject Name and Subject Description.

    4. Note: You can use additional fields and define UI labels in Language Settings.
