# Creating a Model

[**The "Add New Item"**](https://help.taglo.io/using-taglo-software/the-taglo-interface/adding-items) wizard for Models comprises 2 pages. 

## 1. Setup

To create a Model, you must at a minimum give it a **Name** and select a [**Namespace**](https://help.taglo.io/using-taglo-software/namespaces)**.** Optionally, you can add Tags to your Model, which will help you find it and related Models in the Home Tab.

You are free to select any Namespace for your model, but we recommend using a new Namespace for each Model. This gives you maximum flexibility without worrying about the impact of your work on other Models/Namespaces.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to reuse Tags/Dimensions across Models, you can put those Tags in a common Namespace which you then reference from the Model's Namespace. See [**here**](https://help.taglo.io/using-taglo-software/namespaces) for more information on how to use Namespaces.
{% endhint %}

## 2. Timings

New Models have default [**Timings**](https://help.taglo.io/models/home-tab/creating-a-model/timings) of 10 years, starting in the current year.

You can change Timings when creating the Model, or in the [**Model Editor**](https://help.taglo.io/models/model-editor) at any point. Read on for more details on how Timings work in Models.
