Description

Quick Pattern Domain allows users to quickly and easily create Domains that follow a common design pattern. There are currently three available design patterns: Map/Type Table, List, or Permutation.

On this single form, users can define the information for multiple Attributes within a Domain simultaneously without having to define what Generator to use. Quick Pattern Domain is especially useful when defining Type Tables.

Below is an example of a User Domain using a List Design Pattern containing five Attributes: firstName, lastName, middleInitial, ssn, and age.

Generator Assignment Based on Design Pattern Selection

Map/Type Table - First Attribute uses a ListGen Generator, and the rest of the Attributes use a MapGen Generator.
List - First Attribute (id Attribute) uses a RangeGen Generator. The rest of the Attributes use a ListGen Generator.
Permutation - First Attribute (id Attribute) uses the RangeGen Generator. The rest of the Attribute uses a PermutationGen Generator.

How to create a Domain using Quick Pattern Domain

In the Project Dashboard, select a Project and Project Version.
In the Domains Pane, expand the New Domain Menu and select Quick Pattern.
Enter the Number of Columns and Domain Name.
Enter a Table Name (optional) and Description (optional but recommended).
Select a Design Pattern (e.g., Map/Type Table, List, or Permutation).
Click on the Add Attributes button.
Enter the Name information for each Attribute. In this example, the Original Name and Name values are the same for each Attribute.
Select a Type (e.g., String, Integer, Float, Date) from the drop-down menu for each Attribute.
Enter a Size for each Attribute.
(Optional) Change the selection for Enforce Type/Limit. The default value is "False" for each Attribute.
Manually enter or copy and paste the Data Values into the form for each Attribute.

Note: If more than four columns are added, a scroll bar will appear at the bottom of the window and can be used to view the rest of the Attributes for the Domain.
Click the Save button once finished.
