Copy the Domain to a Private Folder

For the purposes of this case study, we will configure the Public Course Completions Table View to provide a manager a view of their specifically their students/employees. To configure this table view, you must begin by copying the Course Completions Domain from the Public folder to your private folder.

This section of the case study walks you through the process of copying the public Domain into a private folder, so you can configure it for the Manager View without affecting Reports built on the public Domain.

The Domain for the Course Completions Table View is the Course Completions Domain.

You can always identify the Domain of an Ad Hoc View from the name displayed in the Domain panel of the Ad Hoc Editor:

To copy the Course Completions Domain to your private organizational folder, complete the following steps:

From the Home page, navigate to View > Repository.
In the Folders panel, navigate to Public > Totara/Moodle > Domains. The list of Public Domains displays in the main Repository panel.
Right-click the Course Completions Domain and select Copy from the context-menu.
In the Folders panel, navigate to the Domains folder within your private organizational folder.
Right-click your private Domains folder and select Paste from the context-menu. A copy of the Course Completions Domain now appears in your Domains folder.

Once you have copied the Public Domain into your private folder, you can edit it freely without affecting Reports and Views dependent on the Public Domain. Before you begin configuring your copied Domain, be sure to give it a unique name to avoid later confusion.

To change the name of the newly copied Course Completions Domain, complete the following steps:

From the private Domains folder, select the Course Completions Domain.
Right-click the Course Completions Domain and select Edit from the context-menu. The Edit Domain page opens.
In the Name field below the Required Information heading, enter a new name for the Domain: "Course Completions Manager Domain."
In the Description field, you can enter an optional explanation of the new Domain.
For example: "Copied from Public to create secured Manager View."
Click the Submit button to save the new Domain information and return to the Repository.

Now that you have copied the Course Completions Domain into your private system to avoid conflicts with dependent Views and Reports, you can move on to Step 3: Configure the Security File to secure the new Domain for the Manager View.
