Define User Domains

The information on this page will help you to complete the following tasks:

Create User Domains

  1. From Version Control, select the server version of the Dataset for which you want to create a user domain.
  2. Select Menu > Users > User Domains.
    The User Domains dialog is displayed in the workspace.
  3. By default, the User Domain workspace lists Datasets under users but you can reverse this by checking By Dataset under the User/Dataset heading.
  4. Under the domain heading you will see the version and user/Dataset information, which allows you to confirm the correctness of your action.
  5. Select New  to create a new user domain.
    A white line appears in the domain window. Click in the relevant cell(s) to activate a drop-down list containing the available choices. You are limited to one selection per line. To include more than one selection in the user domain, create a new line and make the new combination. All combinations will be included in the user domain.
  6. Select Save to complete the User Domain.
    The user is able to view only the information defined within the user domain. The Save button is disabled by default, only when a new user domain is created then the Save button gets enabled.

Change User Domains

  1. In the User domain dialog select the Dataset for which you want to change the user domain.
    The domain appears in the window.
  2. Select the value/cell you want to change and make the change(s) in the drop-down list.
  3. Select Save   to finish the change.
    The user domain is changed.

Delete User Domains

  1. In the User domain dialog select the Dataset for which you want to delete the user domain.
    The domain appears in the window.
  2. Select Delete .
    The user domain is deleted. The Delete button is disabled by default, only when a new user domain is created then the Save button gets enabled.
    Note:  Only administrators can perform this task. Appropriate user rights to the Dataset are required to create a user domain. Only  Datasets with View and change rights are displayed in the User/Dataset list.
