Domain Properties

Each domain has both logical and physical properties. Some of these properties are inheritable and migrate to child domains and to the attributes and columns associated with the domain. Other properties are non-inheritable and apply only to the domain. Non-inheritable properties never migrate to other objects.

The following table lists the inheritable and non-inheritable domain properties by their labels in the Domain Editor.
