Master Events List
The Master Events List (MEL) is the primary way to create an exercise. It presents the exercise content in sequential time order.
Automated Scheduling: Set content to go live at specific times to allow for a seamless exercise delivery.
Structured Progress: Ensure a clear flow of events, guiding participants through the scenario step by step.
Efficient Management: Organise and centralise all of the exercise events in one place for streamlined planning and control.
Import MEL from Excel or CSV files.
Import partial master event lists to build exercises by vignettes.
Organise MEL using tabs and serials.
Drag and drop to reorder injects.
Automatically adjusts timings for moved injects.
Publish individual content items or inject sequences for efficient testing and development.
Create concurrent multiple event lists
Inject attributes
Injects are the components used to build the MEL; they are the content that the players interact with during the exercise.
Organisational attributes and inject details
Time is expressed using 24hr clock because all times are relative to the start of the exercise
Tag is a way to highlight an inject using a dot for emphasis
Asset ID refers to a unique identifier assigned to each inject, used to track and manage content within the exercise
This is the persona from whom the content will be published from
Which player(s) will receive this content?
Content creation
This is the channel to which the message will be published.
Subject is only present on channels that support it such as email, blog posts, and news articles.
Here is the content body. If using the AI Assistant to generate content, the content is generated according to the Method. For example, if the method is MicroBlog then the message will look like a tweet
Further actions
Adding a question creates a data point, which appears as a pie chart on the Facilitator Dashboard, allowing the Facilitator to quickly see participants' choices at a glance
Past comments allows you to simulate replies on social media posts.
This is both a note to the exercise control team and a reminder in the event list of which inject is coming up.
Inject grid enables you to send specific injects at any point during the exercise.
To create an inject grid navigate to 'inject grid' at the bottom of the inject and give your button a title - this will add the inject to the grid.
Creating an inject
In the Scenario Editor, open your serial and click the + as shown below to add an inject:
In the MEL use the AI Assistant to help generate text-based content. Enter a description of the content, then click the generate button.
Possible actions
Click the 6 dots as shown below to drag-and-drop and move injects:
Right-click on the row.
Select
Publish to playerto publish that inject to playersSelect
Publish to Facilitatorto jump to that part of the MEL in the facilitator dashboard
Import Excel or CSV file allows you flexibility to add injects generated in alternative ways.
