Domain window
The Domain window helps you manage your Functional Domains.
Functional Domains are entities stored in the Knowledge Base that enable you to group together objects of a similar functional use in one "domain". For example, you may have several Java projects stored in the Knowledge Base. If, for example, you create a Functional Domain called "Java Classes" and associate all the Java classes from all the projects in the Knowledge Base you will then be able to see, at a glance, ALL the Java classes under the "Java Classes" domain.
This is just one example of how to use Functional Domains - however, their use is wide and varied. For more information about Functional Domains, see the Notions section.
Notes
- By default, the window will be displayed when you launch the application. To hide it click View > Domain.
- The window has other "docked" positions which can be used by moving the window until its outline changes shape and then releasing the mouse button, or you can double-click in the title bar to restore the "docked" position.
- Double-click anywhere in the title bar - this will "undock" the window and you will then be able to move it as normal.
- A check mark next to a Functional Domain indicates that the domain is active (a special color (by default this is red) will be used to signify that an object is associated to a domain. Clearing the check box will cause any objects associated to the domain to revert to the default standard color - the domain is no longer active.
- The
and 
buttons in the window allow you to create and drop domains respectively. - The
and 
buttons in the window activate and deactivate all domains present in the window. - The
button enables you to change the color that is used to display the name of an object (that is associated with the selected domain).
