Further configuration of domains

After you create a domain, you need to apply the domain to an attribute. You use the Classifications, the Database Information, and the Application Designer applications to apply and to modify domains.

The table that follows lists the applications that are used to apply or to modify domains.

Table 1. Applications used to apply or to modify domains
Application Description Example
Classifications Associate a domain with an attribute in the Attributes table window. In the Domains application, add an ALN domain with three values. In Classifications, add a classification for assets. Specify an attribute to classify assets with and associate the new domain with the attribute. The next time that the new classification is applied to an asset, the three classification values are available for selection from that attribute.
Database Information Associate a domain with an extra attribute in the product.

You can also specify whether the attribute is required and a default value.

An amount field might be bound to a NUMERIC domain or a status field might be bound to a SYNONYM domain.

Application Designer Modify the application presentation if needed. Add one of the extra attributes to an application presentation. Associate the extra attribute with a domain.
