  2. Click “Project  Add Object  Interface”.

    The “Add Interface” dialog opens.

  3. Specify a name for the new interface.

  4. Select the “Extends” option and then click the _cds_icon_input_assistent.png button.

  5. The Input Assistant opens.

  6. From the category “Interfaces”, select the interface that is to be extended by the new interface.
