User login names cannot contain extended ASCII characters such as ä, ê, ì, õ, ǚ, æ, and so on.

To select from a list of existing domains, click Find. The Find Domain window opens and you can search for and select a domain. You can also type the name of an existing domain into the Context field.
If you do not enter a domain in this field, Windchill determines which domain to set according to the domain algorithm that is in place. For information about domains, see Administering Domains and Policies.

To select from a list of existing domains that have been created, click Find. The Find Domain window opens and you can search for and select a domain.

Alternate User Name 1 and additional Alternate User fields can be added to all user information pages by editing the layout of those pages in the Type and Attribute Management utility. For more information, see About the Type and Attribute Management Utility.
