The second thing you need to do is go to the Publishing section in the Settings page and click on the plus to add a new domain. Then, enter the subdomain name in the input field on and click "Verify domain".

Depending on your company's structure you might want to add multiple Custom Domains - simply repeat the process for every new domain.
