Domains

What is a Domain ?​

In Simplicité, a Domain represents a menu in the user interface (UI). It allows users to navigate through different parts of the application by structuring access to business objects, processes, and other functionalities.

How to create a Domain ?​

Creating a Domain via the Module Creation Assistant​

When creating a Module, Simplicité’s Module creation assistant includes a step to create a Domain. This ensures that the Module has a visible entry in the UI menu.

  1. Go to Project > Module and start creating a new Module by clicking on Creation assistant or from the Simplicité's home page click on Start by creating a new module.
  2. During the process, the assistant will prompt for a menu (Domain) setup.
  3. Define the Domain by specifying:
    • Domain code – The functional key of the domain.
    • Parent Domain (if applicable) – Allows hierarchical menus.
    • Module name – Define the module to which it belongs. Defaults to the one currently being created.
    • Icon – Customizes the menu’s appearance.
    • Order - order in the interface.
    • Hide the home page - Domains can have Home page
    • Description - to appear in generated documentation.
      Complete the module setup, and the menu will be automatically created.

Manually Creating a Domain​

If a Domain was not created during module setup, you can manually add it later:

  1. Go to Business objects > Domains.
  2. Click Create a new Domain.
  4. Fill in the required fields:
    • Domain Code – The functional key of Domain object.
    • Module name - Define the module to which it belongs.
    • Parent Domain (optional) – Defines a menu hierarchy.
    • Icon - Customizes the menu’s appearance.
    • Order - order the display of the domain in the menu.
    • Hide the home page - No by default
    • Home page - can be associated to a specific Home page.
    • Description - to appear in generated documentation.
      Save the Domain and verify its appearance in the UI.
  5. Managing Domain Access (Permissions)
    Domains are only visible to users with the appropriate permissions. Ensure the relevant Groups have access to the Domain.
  6. Associate Objects to the Domain by clicking on create in the header of Main menu list.
    The types of objects that can be included in a menu are :
    • Business object
    • Business process
    • Domain
    • External object
    • Simple view
