Working with domains

You can use domains to extend the business object model (BOM).

Domains
Make the BOM more specific by setting domains on members. Domains can be static, dynamic, enumerated, or complex.
Defining domains
Use domains to extend the business object model (BOM).
Excel domain provider
You can create enumerated domains based on data stored in an Excel file. The Excel domain provider handles the link between the data stored in Excel and your BOM.
Creating dynamic domains from Excel
Create a dynamic domain and populate it with data from an Excel file.
Updating a single dynamic domain
If Rule Designer is customized to use an Excel file or other external data sources for BOM domain values, you can update these values from the BOM Editor.
Updating all dynamic domains
After populating or modifying the values of your enumerated domain, you can update all the BOM classes.
