Domains are linked to the storage of data in the database by the relationship to domain groups. The creation of domains and the relationship to domain groups is closely linked to the creation of SmartPlant Foundation-based applications, which is beyond the scope of this document. It also requires schema modeling.

However, when extending a system for interactive document and data management, you may need to segregate user access to different classes of objects. There are many ways to do this; one of which is to set up different access groups to control the user access to different sets of create and query commands. Another way is to use different domains, data used by different component schemas, and each component schema has its own set of class definitions.

For example, separate domains could be created for engineering documents and contractual documents. This would also require schema modeling to create two component schemas that would be used to define the componentization of the engineering and contractual document class definitions.

To configure domains, you need to log on to the Desktop Client as a super user.

Domain environment

The domain environment, or domain dependencies, is the set of domains on which this domain is dependent. When configuring the user access to the domain, the user will automatically get access to the domain's environment. For example, the domain environment for the ADMIN domain is the SCHEMA domain.
