# Create Subtopics

*Subtopics* allow you to save a specific *Topic* + *filter* combination for easy access: \
on the homepage, when creating a report, setting up an alert, or within a Smartboard.

Thanks to *Subtopics*, you can create an initial large *Topic*, and then refine it further. \
You can even create multiple levels of Subtopic to organize your monitoring however you wish.
