# Working in the Specifications tab

Support specifications define the types of structural elements, such as stands, brackets, or mounts, which can be used to support conduit in your project. In ACP, you can select support types for a Support Specification from a preset library.

This guide walks you through the steps for creating folders, modifying folders, and creating support specifications.

## Create Support Specification Folders & Subfolders

The folder structure in the Specifications tab can have up to two levels: the first level is the Root Folder, and the second level is the Subfolder. You can create Specs in either of these two.

Refer to the sections below for step-by-step procedures of creating a Root Folder and a Subfolder.
