# Use domain selection menus

The instance offers domain selection via two menu formats.

-   Domain selector: provides a simple drop-down list of available domains.
-   Domain reference picker: enables a reference field that offers filtering and an auto-complete, type-ahead entry feature. Use this format for longer lists.

The placement of these pickers and the procedure to show or hide them differ depending on the user interface version.

-   **[Enable domain selection menus in Core UI](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/t_EnableDomainReferencePickerProperty.md)**  
Displaying the domain picker in Core UI enables the domain selector by default. After enabling the domain selector, you can add a system property to enable the domain reference picker.
-   **[Restrict access to the domain picker](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/t_RestrictAccesstoDomainPicker.md)**  
Use a system property to restrict access to the domain picker in Core UI and Next Experience.
