which messages players receive.
Positions are also used

organisation's news articles.

When
Should I Use
Roles, Positions and
Groups?
Roles and Positions ought
to be determined by the team or
organisation structure, whereas Groups are determined by player
actions.
There is no requirement to
use Roles, Positions or Groups unless your training objective demands it.
Only use them if it's necessary to send
specific content to specific
players.
| | In the example
shown, the training
audience is made up of two
teams -
Legal and
HR. Positions are
unique designations. A Position can only be
assigned to one person but one
person can have multiple Positions. In
contrast, many people can
have
the
same Role but any
specific
player can only have one Role. Hence in
the example shown, Positions have been
used for Head of HR
and Head of Legal whereas Roles have been used
for two players
in the role of
Administrator. |
How To
Assign
Roles and Positions
Roles and Positions can be
assigned with the Scenario
Editor or the Facilitator
Dashboard.
In the Scenario Editor, go to Players > Teams to
populate the Team
Table.
In the Facilitator Dashboard, navigate
to Teams followed
by:
- Manage Teams to change Roles.
- Manage Positions to change Positions.

moved into a Role based on clicking a Question button.

This feature can be useful when used
with a Click to

like players to select their own
Roles.
How to
Use
Groups
Use Groups when you need to send
messages to players based on their
actions or inaction.
Groups can only be created and
assigned in the Scenario Editor and using
the Whiteboard.
Groups are not
accessible using the MEL.
There are two types of Group:
- Group - players are moved into a
Group based on player clicking a Question button
- Conditional Group - players are moved into a Group based on the
condition of a player variable.
The move action is triggered by the Inject
and affects all
You have three Groups of each
type.
Group 1 is the default Group that
all players are a member of at the start
of the exercise.

the consequence of clicking a Question button.
