Managing business domains

Managing business domains

You can create custom business domains to better organize your data products and tailor your data community for your business needs. Business domains enhance navigation and the search experience by organizing data under clear, intuitive categories. Data consumers and producers can find relevant information to specific business functions and key areas in an easy, streamlined process.

Required roles to complete this task
Collaborator role: Admin

To create a custom business domain:

  1. From the navigation menu, click Configurations and Settings. Then, select Business domains.
  2. Create a new business domain and provide a name and short description. Creating a new domain also adds a new tile in your Data Product Hub home page.
  3. Confirm and add your domain.

Adding subdomains

To optimize your data product management, you can also add subdomains under your main business domains. Subdomains make it easy to organize your data products into detailed, focused categories. Subdomains do not appear on your Data Product Hub home page, but can be accessed under each business domain.

To add a subdomain:

  1. From the main business domain, click the Action menu Actions menu icon and select Add subdomain.
  2. Provide a name and short description of the subdomain. Then, confirm and add the subdomain.

Deleting domains and subdomains:

You can delete business domains and subdomains to improve organization and remove retired data products. Keep your domains up to date to enhance security and optimize storage space.

To delete a business domain or subdomain:

  1. Click the Action menu Actions menu icon and select Delete.

There are limitations to deleting a business domain or subdomain:

  • You cannot delete business domains that are attached to a published data product.
  • If a data product draft is attached to a deleted domain, you cannot publish the draft until you select an active domain.
