Flow board controls

  • Horizontal or vertical layout
  • Collapse/expand phases
  • Drag inject cards between phases
  • Add inject per phase

Phase names, count, and order are fixed by the scenario type — they cannot be renamed or reordered, including in JSON imports. Choose a different scenario type if you need a different phase structure.

Injects

Each inject card contains:

ElementDetails
Scenario Inject (message)Required. What participants read on the inject card
Inject typeSituation update, Curveball, or Escalation (stored in data; live UI shows "Scenario Inject")
Participant questionsAt least one per inject

Injects are ordered within each phase. During live exercises they are labeled P{phase}.{inject} (e.g. P1.2).

Facilitators release injects manually during the exercise (no built-in auto-scheduling in the UI).
