Use Domains to Organize Custom Blocks

All custom blocks appear on the Blocks tab of the Block Menus in Wires. This menu has a set of built-in categories to help organize blocks and make it easier for users to find what they are interested in.

If you register macros used as custom blocks without a domain, the blocks are added to a category named Macros. This single category can quickly be overwhelmed with custom blocks.

Instead, it is a best practice to organize custom blocks into additional categories to help identify their purpose or scope. You define the category for a custom block by assigning a domain to the macro. In addition to organizing custom blocks, macro domains also ensure that macro names are unique.

For macros defined in a macro library, you assign the domain to the entire library of macros:

For macros you define individually in the Mashup Editor, you assign the domain name when you save the macro.
