When prompted, you must enter your Add-On Board Subscription License Key.

Board Data Manager (BDM) is required for non-admin users to import or export data.
Positions and Profiles
SimulationDeck uses WebEOC Nexus positions to determine the content and views that a user assigned to them can access. Positions specific to SimulationDeck include:
-
Site Manager
-
Exercise Controller
-
Exercise Participant
-
Observer
Users are assigned to positions in Admin View. See Plan and Create User Accounts for more information.
SimulationDesk also uses profiles. Users are assigned profiles so that they can create content attributed to themselves or on behalf of an organization or entity that they are representing during the exercise.
For example, a user named john.smith@example.com can be assigned to the Exercise Participant position. A profile called “Eastern Hospital” can be created for SimulationDeck, and John Smith can be assigned to that profile, which allows that user to interact with SimulationDeck as John Smith or Eastern Hospital.
