If the first option <quote>Use standard reference code</quote> is selected you can choose a code from the drop down field and the meaning of it will then appear in the fields of the <quote>Use custom definition</quote> section. If you don't know the code for the subject you want to assign this way is a bit tedious since there are 1400 subjects in the standard. A better way is to look for your subject in <ulink url="http://show.newscodes.org/index.html";>this URL</ulink>. Here you select <quote>Subject Codes</quote> and your language (English recommended) and click <quote>Show</quote>. In the diagram you scroll and make additional levels of an item visible by clicking on one of the fields. In the field right of the diagram you can find the code of the selected subject. + </para> + + <para> + In general the IPTC Subject Codes are quite comprehensive but on the other hand a bit un-complete in some fields, ⪚ under Lifestyle and Leisure/Games you find just Go, chess, bridge and shogi. So you may want to add own subjects, even though they always remain private (or company) subjects. A way to do that in &digikam; is to first check <quote>Use standard reference code</quote> and select 10001004 which brings you to Lifestyle and Leisure/Games/shogi - just to stay in our example. Then you check <quote>Use custom definition</quote> and change the last digit of <quote>Reference:</quote> to 5 and the text in the <quote>Detail:</quote> filed to - say <quote>domino</quote>. You save this custom definition to the template by clicking <guilabel>Add...</guilabel> at the right side of the subjects list. Then you type in a template title (if it is a new template) and save the template by clicking <guilabel>Add...</guilabel> at the right side of the templates list. Don't mix up these two! </para> </sect2>
