The Domain Design File

There are three ways to access the Add New Domain page:

On the Home page, Click Create > Domain.
On the Home page, click the Create button in the Domain block.
On the Repository page, right-click a folder and choose Add Resource > Domain.

The Add New Domain page is where you can set up the basic properties of the Domain, including its name and data source. This page is also your access point to the Domain Designer. The Add New Domain page allows you to specify the following components of the Domain:

Name: Specify the name for the Domain that users will see in the repository.
Resource ID: Enter a resource ID or accept the default entry. If you choose to enter a new ID, note that you cannot use any spaces.
Description: Specify the description that will appear in the repository and in the Ad Hoc Editor when users create a report using the Domain.
Save Location: Browse to the repository folder where you want to save the Domain. The last folder selected in the repository will be the default save location.
Data Source: Browse the repository to choose a data source from the list of data sources in your organization.
Domain Design: Create the design using the Domain Designer console, or upload a Domain design file from outside the repository.
Optional Information: Specify a security file and one or more locale bundles.

Before you can submit and save a Domain to the repository, you must specify a display name, resource ID, save location, data source, and Domain design. The Submit button is not available until you have created or specified the design for your Domain.

To exit the page without saving your changes, click the Cancel button.

To validate and save your Domain components, click the Submit button.
