Hi

there are no options for the creation of the Domain.

It seems you are talking about data element where there are options like predefined type and w.r.t to adomain.

Please be clear.

reward if useful

I think u have mistaken.

We have these options while creating a Data element and not Domain...You can create Data element using or with out using Domain...we answered your question why in the other thread.

Hi,

The main difference between creating fields with the domains is that the Technical Attributes and validations can be implemented. Also special Data Dictionary services like F4 Help can be provided if you use domain. But in the case of the built in type there will no such service available.

The built-in type is mostly used to create system fields where there is no need for semantic definitions.

Please rewards points if you find this useful.
