# Create a case domain

{% hint style="warning" %}

### Warning

Before you add a custom domain, please review the built-in options. For more information, see [Case and issue domains](/cortex-agentix/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/investigation-and-response/overview-of-cases/case-and-issue-domains.md).

We recommend using the built-in domains where possible. Custom domains might not be supported by all content. In addition, custom domains affect Cortex AgentiX’s ability to learn, correctly identify, and score future cases.

Smart grouping is not supported for custom domains.
{% endhint %}

Custom domains help you to differentiate between your work efforts. You can create tailored workflows for each domain, so that you can effectively manage and prioritize your workload.

**Manage your domains**

You can see all domains under Configurations → Object Setup → **Cases** → **Domains**. From this tab, you can edit the properties of the built-in domains and create your own custom domains.

Consider the following information:

* You can't merge cases with different domains.
*
* Smart grouping is not supported for custom domains.
* For SBAC, use the **Cases and Issues** scoping area to define case and issue domains that enable you to control access to your domains. For more information, see [Manage user scope](https://app.gitbook.com/s/AEIjuYE3RXcIfmuQnBbm/post-deployment/manage-user-roles-and-access-management/manage-user-scope).
* Domains might affect custom content that is connected to cases and issues. Review your custom content to ensure it is associated with the intended domains. This includes:
  * Automation Rules
  * Starring Rules
  * Notifications
  * Issue Exclusions
  * Scoring Rules
  * XQL that accesses the cases or issues datasets in Scheduled Queries and Widgets

**How to create a case domain**

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

* Adding custom domains requires a **View/Edit** RBAC permission for **Case Properties** (under **Object Setup**).
* Once created, a custom case domain cannot be deleted or renamed.
  {% endhint %}

1. Go to **Settings** → **Configurations** → **Object Setup** → **Cases** → **Domains** .

   The existing domains are listed.
2. Click on **+ New Domain**.
3. Assign a name and color to the domain, and an optional description.
4. In the **Status** field, select one or more statuses that are relevant to the domain. These statuses will be available for selection in the cases and issues associated with this domain.
5. In the **Resolution Type** field, select one or more resolution reasons that are relevant to the domain. These reasons will be available for selection in the cases and issues associated with this domain.
6. Click **Save**.
7. (Optional) Update SBAC scoping to enable access to the domain.
   1. You can perform the following:
      * To enable access to the domain for a User Group, go to **Settings** → **Configurations** → **Access Management** → **User Groups**.
      * To enable access to the domain for a User, go to **Settings** → **Configurations** → **Access Management** → **Users**.
      * To enable access to the domain for an API key, got to **Settings** → **Configurations** → **Integrations** → **API Keys**.
   2. Click **Save**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/configure-cortex-agentix/cases-and-issues-configuration/customize-your-cases/create-a-case-domain.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
