# Working With Sub Ranks

Some martial arts systems have minor gradings between major gradings.

These are sub ranks in AXIS, not all programs will use a sub ranking structure, but for those who do, here is how it works.

Refer to the help article "Creating a Program" so see how to create a program, ready to add ranks and sub ranks.

**Let's take a look...**

1.  Create your **Program.**  
    Note: Refer to the help article "Creating a Program" so see how to create a program, ready to add ranks and sub ranks.  
     
2.  Add the **Rank.**

3\.  Click **Add Sub Rank.**  
4\. Give your sub ranks a suitable **name** (e.g. Tip 1).  
Note: For each rank, you can add one or more sub ranks.

4\. Click the **Done** button to confirm.  
5\. **Repeat the process** for the remaining ranks in the program.

6\. Ensure your syllabus has **sub ranks enabled.**  
Note: When working with sub ranks, you'll need to enable them in order to assign specific sessions and days.
