On the second page you have to choose the object classes of the new entry.

To add object classed to the "selected" list select some in the "available" list and click the Add button. You could also double-click an object class in the "available" list. To remove object classed from the "selected" list select some in the "selected" list and click the Remove button. You could also double-click an object class in the "selected" list.
On the third page you have to define the distinguished name of the new entry.
The parent of the new entry could be specified in the input field:

To specify the RDN select an attribute from the drop-down list and enter the value. If you choosed the "template" method the RDN is preset with the RDN of the template entry. The wizard also support multivalued RDNs. With the + and - buttons you can add and remove name-value pairs.
The DN preview field shows a preview of the DN.
When clicking to Next the wizard checks if an entry with the specified DN already exists. In that case you have to change the DN of the new entry.
On the fourth page you have to define the attributes of the new entry.
The layout and features are similar to the Entry editor. You could add, edit or delete attributes and values.

As soon as all MUST attributes are filled the Finish button is activated. When clicking the button the new entry will be created in directory.
