In this task, you create a composite domain, Address Validation, which comprises Address Line, City, State, and Zip domains. A composite domain lets you define a cross-domain rule that involves multiple domains in a rule. There are other advantages to a composite domain such as being able to parse a field value into multiple domains. For example, a value for a Full Name field can be parsed into separate First Name, Middle Name, and Last Name domains. In this tutorial, you only define a cross-domain rule. See Managing a Composite Domain for more details.
