Add an Organization

Contacts procedure

Organizations allow you to group your external contacts and WebEOC Nexus users, and manage their Ad Hoc Alerts permissions, based on organizational structure.

A default organization, called Default WebEOC Nexus Organization is provided that grants all contacts basic organizational permissions that parallel their WebEOC Nexus access permissions. New WebEOC Nexus users are automatically assigned to this organization, unless you rename it or delete it. See Manage Organizations.

For many organizations, the default WebEOC Nexus organization is sufficient.

If you have a more complex organizational structure, or you want to differentiate between sub-organizations or departments, you can choose to create your own organization and delete the default, or rename the organization after all contacts have been assigned.

Once you delete the default organization, you cannot recreate it. If you have not created another organization, only WebEOC Nexus Administrators will be able to interact with Ad Hoc Alerts and Contacts.
