Add New Domain Page
The Add New Domain page appears when you click Create > Domain or when you right-click a repository folder and choose Add Resource > Domain. On the Add New Domain page, you set up basic properties of the Domain and launch the Domain Designer.

Enter basic Domain properties:
| • | Name – Enter the domain name users will see in the repository. |
| • | Resource ID – Accept the automatic resource ID or enter a new one (no spaces). |
| • | Description – Enter a description. This will appear in the repository and in the Ad Hoc Editor when this Domain is used to create a report. Optional, but recommended. |
| • | Save Location – Browse to the repository folder where you want to save the Domain. |
|
|
The server locates Domains by their repository object type, not by their location. The default location is the last folder selected in the repository. |
| • | Data Source – Browse the repository to choose a data source. |
| • | Use only data sources in the repository and for which the user has at least execute permission. |
| • | Domains must use a JDBC, JNDI, or virtual data source. |
| • | If you installed the sample data, you can use the sample JDBC, JNDI, and virtual data sources in Organization > Data Sources and Organization > Analysis Components > Analysis Data Sources. |
| • | Domain Design – Create the design using the Domain Designer console or upload a Domain design file from outside the repository. See Advanced Domain Features for more information about Domain design files. |
| • | Optional Information – Add 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 grayed out until you have created or specified the design for your domain.
| • | The Cancel button exits the Add New Domain page. For new Domains, no Domain is created; when modifying an existing Domain, it remains unchanged. |
| • | The Submit button validates and saves the Domain components. For more information, see Using the Domain Designer. The location for Domains in the sample data is the Organization > Domains folder, but you may use any location. |
