The Domain Designer allows you to define all the components of a Domain. At the bottom of the Add New Domain page or the Edit Domain page, click Create in Domain Designer or Edit in Domain Designer to launch the Domain Designer console.

Along the top of the Domain Designer console are tabs for configuring various aspects of the Domain:

Tables: Select all tables whose columns you want to use in the Domain, either directly or indirectly.
Derived Tables: Enter queries whose results appear as derived tabled available in the Domain.
Joins: Define inner and outer joins between all the tables and derived tables.
Calculated Fields: Enter expression whose results appear as calculated fields.
Pre-Filters: Specify conditions on field values to limit the data accessed through the Domain.
Display: Organize the visual aspects of the Domain and change the display properties of tables, columns, sets, and items exposed to Domain users.

The Domain Designer opens automatically to the Tables tab. From there, you can navigate to the other tabs. To navigate between tabs, click the tab name. Before you can save your design, you must choose which sets and items to expose to users of the Domain.

The OK button on the console validates the design and saves it in the location you specified earlier in the process on the Add New/Edit Domain page. After saving a Domain, you can modify it using the Domain Designer.
Clicking the Cancel button exits the Domain Designer without saving any of the design settings. For new Domains, no design is saved; when modifying an existing design, it remains unchanged.
