Category Associations do not directly reference another entity, and are used primarily to organize questions. Categories have a Display Name property, seen by the user, as well as a Canonical Name property. The canonical name is used to match and merge category instances. In some cases, multiple developers may need to independently define certain semi-common categories, but the questions should be sorted together on a running system.
In addition to the properties included with categories, a domain has an icon associated with it, that visually identifies the domain, and an Overview view which provides a default view of the domain. The definition also includes the Parents property which defines how the domain relates to other domains.
A message includes the message text and message details. It also contains a link to a relevant view, if its View property is set. For example, if you need to show a message that references a view displaying more information, if the View property of the Message Association is set, the view name appears as a link in the message. Clicking the link displays the specified view.
Customizable Associations form a special class of free-form associations that can express relationships between elements of their solution domain. Customizable Associations that are interchangeable have a common Group Tag property, that essentially identifies the purpose that a particular association fulfills. A Customizable Association has an icon that can be used to visually represent the association or its target, and a free-form Value property that is a list of the type Any. The association can refer to a single view, for instance, or a list of domain associations, or whatever entities or data you need to be associate with this instance.
