Defining the Components of a Concept Domain

You can update your business dictionaries using Concept Domains and dictionary elements that already exist: Term, Concept, State Concept, Event Concept or Concept View.

A concept domain includes or references a set of concepts or sub-domains.

You can display the elements that belong to the concept domain in the properties window of the domain in question, in the Domain Entities page.

The concept is added to the list of concept domain components.

You can also drag the concepts in question from the hierarchical view of the business dictionary into the section.
