### Step 1: Adding Two “CNAME” Records to your DNS

For instance, assume you need 'analytics' and 'analytics-admin' as your two subdomains for the user and admin portals, respectively. Each subdomain will have its own unique CNAME. Therefore, it's important to carefully note which CNAME URL corresponds to each subdomain.

Each subdomain will need the following 3 pieces of information.

- **USER **Portal**:**
  - analytics			
  - `CNAME`
  - dns-cs.support-analytics.com
- ** ADMIN **Portal**:**
  - analytics*-admin*
  - `CNAME` 
  - embed-app-ht7ws.ondigitalocean.app

EXAMPLE:

\*If you want different subdomains then just switch out the names, but the rest of the record will stay the same.

\*\* **EXAMPLE** DNS CNAMES  for GoDaddy.com \*\* (Use the CNAMES shown above^)

Refrencing the image below you will see 2 CNAME records have been created.

- The `Type` input in the record will be set to `CNAME` for both. 
- The `Name` input is the the subdomain that you have decided best represents where you'd like your users to log in to. 
- The `Value`  input refers to the CNAME url that your Clearsquare representative in your kickoff call.
- You can generally ignore the `TTL` (which stands for Time To Live), because it's impact is minor, but my advice is to set it to something longer (which will mean it will take longer to be found by the Clearsquare portal, but will mean the page will load faster for users that are first navigating to your application.
