# Adding a Child Referenced Object

A Child Reference Object is a connection to an existing Attribute Object. When added to an object, the referenced object retains all of its children.

1. Click the Attribute Object in the left pane. This displays the Object and any existing child properties in the right pane.

3. Enter a **Reference Name** for the child. This is the name of the field seen in Customer Management or POS.
4. Select the Attribute Object from the Add Reference Selector list.
5. Click **OK**. This closes the Add Reference Selector window and adds the new property as a child under the Attribute Object.
