Create Knowledge Domains User Guide

Purpose: This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a new Knowledge Domain to add to a Job Profile in Calibrate. When you create a skill in Calibrate, it's referred to as an Account skill because it is available account wide.

Audience: This document is meant to be used by Job Profile Editors and Job Profile Reviewers who want to add a Knowledge Domain to a Job Profile that is not already in the Calibrate library.

Before you begin: Knowledge Domains are principles, bodies of content and facts generally applied within academic settings.
