Introduction
An Exercise Domain is typically a jurisdiction or an area of responsibility. Exercises within PrepToolkit are associated with an Exercise Domain prior to being scheduled on the National Exercise Calendar or being nominated for the National Exercise Program (NEP).
Domain Administrators, REP - RAC Chairs, and Data Managers are given access to manage Exercise Domains. The Exercise Domains page can be accessed from the Exercises area of PrepToolkit.
Depending on your level of access, you may be able to edit and/or delete domains and manage users of a domain. If a new domain is needed, please contact the PrepToolkit help desk.
Edit a Domain
To edit a domain, select the edit icon beside the domain you wish to edit.
An Update window will be displayed.
From the Update window, you may edit the domain's name or description. An Exercise Domain may be associated with its FEMA Region and/or State, if applicable, and the Jurisdiction Type may be selected (State/Territory, UASI, or Tribal Region). One point of contact may be assigned to the domain. One or more organizations that are a part of that domain may also be identified.
Edit field values as needed and select OK to save your changes.
Manage Users
Domain Administrators, REP - RAC Chairs, and Data Managers will be able to Manage Users for a domain.
Add a Domain Member
Adding a user as a member of a domain grants that user some elevated view-only privileges when viewing the National Exercise Calendar. Domain members can see an exercise in their domain on the National Exercise Calendar when it is in the Submitted, Approved, or Published states of the Exercise Scheduling workflow and when it is in the Draft, Nominated, Recommended, or Approved states of the NEP Nomination workflow.
To add a user as a member of a domain, select the Actions button next to the domain to which they should be added, then select Manage Users.
- Search for a name in the User field. Only vetted users can be added as members of a domain.
- Once the user has been located and selected, choose the Member role in the "All" list and add it to the "Selected" list using the right arrow.
- Select the Add button.
- Select OK to close the Domain Users window.
Delete a Domain Member
If a current Domain Member needs to be deleted from the domain, first select the Actions button next to the domain of which they are a member, then select Manage Users.
Select the delete icon next to the user's name.
A confirmation message will appear. Select OK to delete the member. The user can be re-added to the domain at a later date, if needed.
