Get started now: How to [Add or manage Domain][] user guide.

Frequently asked questions / Troubleshooting

You can create new, edit and delete Domains using the Nodinite [Web Client][Web ClientCS].

How do I create a new Domain?

Read and follow the instructions in this user guide: "[Add or manage Domain][]".

What are Domains used for?

[Domains][] represent organizational boundaries (departments, business units, teams) within your [Business Process Models (BPMs)][BPM]. They appear as horizontal swimlanes in BPM diagrams, making it clear which organizational unit is responsible for each process step.

Can I reuse Domains across multiple BPMs?

Yes! [Domains][] are designed to be reusable across multiple [Business Process Models][BPM]. Define a Domain once (e.g., "Sales Department," "Finance Department") and use it in all relevant BPMs for consistent organizational representation.

How do Domains relate to Services?

Each [Domain][Domains] can be associated with one or more [Services][]. This connection shows which services execute within each organizational boundary, providing both business and technical context in your [BPMs][BPM].

Can I add Custom Metadata to Domains?

Yes! New 7.2 Starting with Nodinite 7.2.0, you can enrich Domains with [Custom Metadata][] to document team ownership, contact information, SLAs, escalation procedures, and organizational context. This helps capture accountability and governance directly on organizational boundaries. See [Add or manage Custom Metadata][] for details.
