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.
