Designing

How to (Injects)

1

Create a new inject

Change the channel to Graph.

2

Select the audience

Who do you want to send the inject to? This may be role or team orientated.

3

Select which number the Graph should chart

To work with a Variable you'll need to use Calculations somewhere else in the scenario but adding a number is the simplest way.

Send Graph injects to respond to player choice throughout the exercise to develop the graph.

How to (Configuration)

Go to Configuration > Player desktop > Graph > see Chart type to choose a Line or Bar chart and to label the axis.
