Teams

Team are for humans

All your exercise participants will be in a team.

Using more than one team can:

• help organise participants better so that you can find them more easily during an exercise should you wish to modify their permissions

• allow content to be published to a specific team

• allow teams to exercise in parallel with some channels able to restrict player activities to their specific team without impacting other teams.

Publishing options

Teams allow you to publish to everyone in a specific team but typically Teams are used to better organise your participants or for reporting purposes.

Roles allows publishing to all participants in the same Role

Positions allows publishing to a specific person (because a position is unique)

Groups are used for dynamic publishing because players can be moved to a Group dynamically based on a button press in a message. See below.

Limitations

Teams are unlimited

Positions are unlimited. The same player can have multiple Positions but Position can only be assigned to one player.

Roles are limited to 5 roles (Role 1 is the default)

Groups are limited to 3 groups (Group 1 is the default)

The image below shows how these options relate to each other.

There is no requirement to use Roles, Positions or Groups unless your training objectives demand it. Only use them if it's necessary to send specific content to specific players.

Teams table in the Editor

The image below shows how to enter your participant details into the Teams table. The numbers in the following list refer to the pointers in the image:

1. Add the name and email of your exercise facilitator. It will be the space owner unless you change it.

2. Add name and email as many observers as you want.

3. Add teams, they appear as tabs in the table. Double-click any tab to rename or delete a team.

4. In each team's table, manage there is a row per team member. If you see this exclamation mark, this team member has not been uploaded yet to your space.

5. After adding their names and emails, you can assign positions per player

6. You can also select a role per each team member (optional)

7. You can add rows for as many team members as your license allows you to upload

8. You can add your personas as team members, this will be useful for role-playing

9. Remember to upload all your teams to your space to run your exercise.

You must upload the team table separately from uploading the scenario
