New

Create a new subobject under the current resource.

Related guide: Actions.

The New action creates a new subobject inside the object you currently have open.

How it works

When you click New, a new object is created beneath the current one.

If the object was not previously acting as a folder, it becomes one as soon as it has a subobject.

This lets you build structure as you go, without needing to set everything up in advance.

Default values and inheritance

New objects are created using the settings defined for that resource. This means:

  • Default values are applied automatically.
  • Inherited attributes are passed down from the parent object.

This helps keep new objects consistent without needing to fill everything in manually.

Where to find subobjects

Once created, subobjects can be accessed in a couple of ways.

You can view them in the Navigation section of the Resource Viewer, where they appear as part of the object structure.

You can also open them by clicking the folder icon on the object.

When to use New

Use New when you want to create something within the context of the current object. For example, you might:

  • Add tasks under a project.
  • Create posts within a content group.
  • Add leads within a campaign.

This keeps related work grouped together.

Summary

New creates subobjects within the current object.

It automatically applies defaults and inheritance, and helps you build structure as your work grows.
