Enter the subdomain name in the domain name field; in our case, we used www.

In the TTL field, you can assign any value in seconds; we have entered 3600.

In the canonical name field, I entered the canonical name as micro.com for the main domain. then select OK. 

NOTE: Use your main domain instead of micro.com.
