Scenario Libraries
Scenario Libraries are the place where you prepare everything a scenario needs before the simulation starts. Instead of configuring annotations, checklists, sounds, and media for every single training, you assemble them once into reusable sets, assign those sets to a scenario in the Scenario Designer, and they are ready in the Web Recorder and in Debriefing every time the scenario runs.
You find the libraries under Administration → Scenario Libraries, or through the corresponding dashboard tiles.
The five set types
| Library | What it holds | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Annotation Sets | The annotation icons (bookmarks) an operator can place during a recording. | Recorder annotations, Debriefing, Recording Archive |
| Checklist Sets | Observation checklists without scoring: Yes/No, Single Choice, Multiple Choice, Star Rating, and Open Question items. | Recorder checklists, operator checklists, Debriefing |
| Audio of Patient Sets | Vocal and physiological patient sounds (coughing, crying, wheezing) played through the patient or manikin speaker. | Web Recorder |
| Audio to Room Sets | Ambient and scenario sounds (sirens, background noise, announcements) played through the in-room speakers. | Web Recorder audio-to-room panel |
| Media Screen Sets | Images, videos, audio, PDFs, and PowerPoint files shown on in-room Media Screens. | Recorder media screens, Debriefing media library |
One familiar workflow
All libraries share the same interface, so once you know one, you know them all:
- Overview page - search, sort, page through your sets, and create, open, duplicate, download, or delete them. Select several sets to delete them in one go.
- Editor page - name and describe the set, then assemble its content by dragging items from the available area into the selected area (or by clicking the "+" icon).
- Import and export - every set can be downloaded as an archive and imported on another SIMStation system, which makes it easy to share standardized content between rooms, departments, or sites.
Plan once, reuse everywhere
Build your sets around your curriculum rather than around individual trainings. A "Pediatric Emergency" annotation set, checklist, and patient sound set can then be assigned to every scenario in that course.
Who works with Scenario Libraries
Scenario Libraries are typically maintained by administrators and operators. Trainers and instructors benefit from them during recording and debriefing without needing to configure anything.
