What is the Facilitator
Facilitator Dashboard is a fundamental element
of your Conducttr suite. This
dashboard lives in a dedicated
URL that you will be able to
access from any modern
browser. The link to
your unique Facilitator
Dashboard can be found in
your Scenario
Editor.
After designing your
exercise in the Scenario
Editor, you need to upload
it to your space.

Once the scenario has been uploaded to your space, you are ready to
run and control it from the Facilitator
Dashboard.
Any modifications made in the scenario editor won't show up if you enter the facilitator dashboard this way; instead, you'll need to publish your scenario first to ensure changes are visible.

Facilitator Dashboard
interface
This interface is flexible
and adaptable
enough to suit your needs
at any point of the
exercise.
There are two main
areas:
1. Exercise
Control
On your left, the
Exercise Control
panel displays your
exercise Event lists
(MELs). There, you can see
the progress of the
exercise and click to
publish or pause
injects. See it in yellow
below.

The Exercise Control can
be easily
collapsed at your
convenience.

2. Utilities
panel
On your right, you will
see the
utilities panel. This
panel can be shown in
one column or divided in
two columns to show
you more at the same
time.
In the example below,
we are switching to
show just the Player
View to show Player
view AND Teams
configuration.
