By default, a project in the Tygron Platform always consists of at least one scenario.

Adding and removing Scenarios in a project

Editor → Multi Scenario (Ribbon tab) → Scenario (Ribbon bar)

Adding a Scenario

A scenario can be added in two ways in the Tygron Platform; through a ribbon drop down option or by selecting the Add button on the bottom of the left panel, after selecting scenarios in the ribbon bar.

How to add scenario to a project:
  1. Select Multi-Scenario → Scenarios
  2. Select Add new Scenario from the drop down menu
  3. Or select Add on the bottom of the scenario panel


Removing a Scenario from a project

Sometimes an earlier implemented scenario becomes redundant, or an error has occurred that renders a scenario useless. In such cases it is possible to remove the scenario completely.

How to remove scenario in a project:
  1. Select Multi-Scenario → Scenarios
  2. Select the scenario to be removed on the left panel
  3. Select Remove on the bottom of the left panel


Changing the properties of a Scenario

Editor → Multi Scenario (Ribbon tab) → Scenario (Ribbon bar) → The Scenario to edit (Left panel)

Scenario

By selecting a scenario entry on the left panel, the following properties become available on the right panel:

Scenarios (left panel)

Name

Main article: Names
File:ScenariosName.jpg

Description

The description field allows for describing the scenario in the Editor. This is convenient when the scenario has added complexity.
How to change the description of a scenario:
  1. Select Multi-Scenario → Scenarios
  2. Select scenario to have description added from the left panel
  3. Select Description field on right panel
  4. Delete the previous text (if needed)
  5. Enter new description

Event Bundles

Main article: Events

An event is something that occurs, on which the application can react. By selecting the Event Bundles option of a scenario, (a bundle of) Server events can be added to a scenario, that will trigger as soon as the scenario is activated.

Server Events fired when chosen

This section manages Server Events that are fired when the scenario is activated. Events can be assigned on the right panel to the selected scenario, after being added with the 'Add Event' button on the bottom of the right panel. Then the desired event can be selected from a list on the bottom panel. The selection can be confirmed with the 'Commit' button, or cancelled with the 'Cancel' button.
How to add events to a scenario:
  1. Select Multi-Scenario → Scenarios
  2. Select scenario to have events added to
  3. Select Event Bundles from the selected scenario
  4. Select 'Add event' on the bottom of the right panel
  5. Select the newly added event on the right panel
  6. Select the desired server event from the bottom panel
  7. Confirm the selection with the 'Commit' button, or use the 'Cancel' button to clear the selection
Event bundle bottom panel with 'Commit' and 'Cancel' buttons


Measures

Main article: Measures
Assign measures (right panel)

Besides events it is also possible to trigger measures (= predefined actions) when a scenario is activated. For example; in one scenario the stakeholders looked into different spatial alignments of possible solutions, in another scenario, a particular measure is applied, decreasing the space of possible solutions, which in turn can accommodate further discussions. Prerequisite for this is to have the measure(s) already available, then select the Measures entry on the left panel. The available measures will then show up on the right panel, which can then be assigned to the selected scenario.

How to add measures to a scenario:
  1. Ensure predefined measures are available in the project
  2. Select Multi-Scenario → Scenarios
  3. Select the scenario to have measures added to
  4. Select on the left panel the Measures property from the selected scenario
  5. Mark the check box of the desired measure from the available entries on the right panel


Stakeholders

Stakeholder properties (right panel)
Main article: Stakeholders

Selecting the arrow next to 'Stakeholders' on the left panel opens up the stakeholder section, containing the names of all active stakeholders in the project. Here the stakeholder properties can be set up per scenario. The following properties can be adjusted:

Start with Cinematic

Main article: Cinematics
To introduce a scenario with a cinematic, each stakeholder can have a tailor made cinematic triggered at the start of the scenario to inform about the intricacies of this particular scenario. These cinematics must be created first, before they are available for selection from the drop down menu on the right panel.
How to change the scenario stating cinematic a stakeholder:
  1. Ensure a proper cinematic is available
  2. Select Multi-Scenario → Scenarios
  3. Select the Scenario to have the stakeholder cinematic changed from
  4. Select on the left panel the affected Stakeholder from the Stakeholder list of the selected scenario
  5. Select on the right panel the desired cinematic from the drop down menu
  6. Mark the check box 'Start with Cinematic' to activate the cinematic at the start of the scenario

Active Action Menus

Main article: Actions
It is possible to assign more (or even different) action menus for each scenario, for each stakeholder. This is very useful when scenarios are implemented to build up complexity or restrict actions for that scenario. Available action menus are present in a list with check boxes. Checking a box adds the action menu to the selected stakeholder for that scenario.
How to change the available actions for a stakeholder in the selected scenario:
  1. Select Multi-Scenario → Scenarios
  2. Select the scenario to have the stakeholder actions changed from
  3. Select on the left panel the affected Stakeholder from the Stakeholder list of the selected scenario
  4. Mark on the right panel the check boxes of the desired action menus
