Alternative Usage of Application Areas or Child Domains

You can create Application Areas or child Domains whose sole purpose is to store library definitions. For example, in a Domain whose sole purpose is to store standard definitions, you could create Application Areas to store different categories of definitions to make the definitions easier to find by browsing. For example, you could create one Application Area for Demography-related Tables, Load Sets, Programs, Report Sets, and Workflows, and another Application Area for Adverse Events-related definitions.

The user interface separates objects within a library by object type, so there is no need to use Application Areas or child Domains to do that. You can use classification to label definitions by categories such as Demography and Adverse Events, but you can use definitions' classifications only during searching, not browsing.
