Editing Admin/Config. Tools/Edit subject (section)

== Adding subjects ==
Beneath the existing children of a subject there is box with the label '''Subject ID String'''.  If enter a value and click on the '''Create''' button this will create a new subject as a child of the current subject.  You should be careful in the value you choose for the subject ID string.  The following rules are advised:
# Only use letters, numbers and underscores.  Other characters are allowed but are not advised, as they can present various issues.
# Avoid switching between cases.  Ideally limit yourself to lowercase letters to keep things tidy.
# Limit the length but make sure it is still possible to work out what the subject ID is for (e.g. ''Natural Sciences'' might be represented with '''nat_sci''').
# Use prefixes so you can work out what type of subject the ID represents. For divisions maybe start '''fac''' for faculties (e.g. '''fac_eng''' for ''Faculty of Engineering'' ), '''sch''' for schools (e.g. '''sch_ecs''' for ''School of Electronics and Computer Science'' and '''dept''' for departments (e.g. '''dept_comp''' for ''Department of Computer Science'').  This will also help you avoid not being able to use a subject ID string because it is used elsewhere (e.g. division and subject being the same).
