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). 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. 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 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.
