A domain also applies a validation on the field, if a value is entered that does not exist in the domain set of values, then you will receive an error message. The domain defines the data to be shown, but displaying the list is something you configure in the user interface, by using the Application Designer application. Application Export and Application Importĭomains are used to create a list of values on a field.
