The Subject and Subheading are on the upper right of the Index Card. I've found it necessary to include 8 examples for you.
A good general rule is that the Subject is the first part, and that the Subheading always starts with either a slash "/" or a colon ":". If there is no slash or colon, then the entire thing is the Subject, and there is no Subheading.

Example #6:
Example #7:
Example #8:
