This article provides a step-by-step overview of how to create, configure, and manage scenarios in SimCapture. Scenarios help organize and tag sessions, support targeted annotations, and foster learner self-reflection-enhancing debriefing and learning outcomes.

Important Information Before You Begin

  • Only System Administrators or Administrative users can create and manage scenarios.
  • If a Global Auto Deletion Policy for session videos is enabled, it will apply to all scenarios unless overridden at the scenario level.
    • If the scenario's video policy is set to "None" or left blank, videos will be kept indefinitely.
    • This setting is not visible on the Course page but will be supported by a visual aid in a future release.

How to Create a Scenario

In SimCapture Enterprise:

  1. Select Courses in the global navigation bar.
  2. Select the desired course.
  3. Select Add New Scenario.
  4. Select Create New (Note: Use Copy only for duplicating existing scenarios).
  5. Fill in the Summary information (title is required; simulators are optional).
  6. Select Save.

 If using a Standardized Patient (SP), check the SP box to enable the Allow multiple learners option.

In SimCapture Pro:

  1. Select Scenarios in the global navigation bar.
  2. Select Add Scenario.
  3. Fill in the Summary information.
  4. Select Save.

Configuring and Editing Your Scenario
