# Creating a Record
You can create records directly in a CoB definition by clicking the New Record button located in the upper right corner. Fill the fields with the desired values for the new instance and click "Save".
In definition fields referencing other fields, a list of related suggestions containing references to other instances of the same or other definition will immediately appear as soon as you start typing the first letters in the text field. You can also search for specific references within a field of that type using the same search syntax that is used for looking for particular records within the listings page: free search, structured search, and advanced free search.
