About Extending the Domain Value Set

The Siebel Customer-Centric Enterprise Warehouse is also extensible in that you can create additional domain values for those columns that do not fit into the existing domain value definitions. To see which domain value sets you can modify, see the Siebel Customer-Centric Enterprise Warehouse Data Model Reference. However, before you modify the domain value set for a particular column, you first perform impact analysis on existing metrics. For example, the Siebel Customer-Centric Enterprise Warehouse prepackages the following two events:

• New Hire. This event occurs when a new person is hired.
• New Position. This event occurs when a position is created, but an existing employee may be hired internally.

If you have an event that represents both a New Hire and a New Position, you may have to create a third event that depicts both. If you create this new event type domain value, you need to include it in the applicable metric definitions so as to account for all hires and positions.
