Creating Domains

Create domains that represent geographically or functionally specific areas in your organization, such as departments. Before creating domains, identify the objects such as employees and measures that will be placed in the domains.

Note:

The domains that you create in Performance Scorecard are automatically available in Shared Services for use in provisioning. This enables you to associate accounts with domains using the Manage Properties page.

  To create domains:

  1. Select Security, and then Domain List.

    The Domain List is displayed.

  2. Click Add.

  3. Under Name, enter a unique name that identifies the domain, such as a region, office, project or department.

    For example, if your organization has multiple development offices in Europe, you could create a domain for each national head office, such as Development:Germany or Development:France.

  4. Under Description, summarize the domain.

  5. Perform a task:

    • If the domain is below another in the hierarchy, select the higher-level domain from Parent Domain.

      For example, if the domain represents the French development office, select Europe.

    • If the domain is the highest level select No Parent.

      Users associated with the domain can access the data in any lower-level domains that are created.

  6. Click Save.

    You can use the domain to grant access to data by applying it to user or group accounts. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Security Role Guide.
