Scenarios

[Reading time: 2 minutes]

Overview

The Scenarios module in Reporter allows you to schedule automatic and dynamic displays of multiple INO cx dashboards or explorations (only the KPIs will be displayed).

It is a useful tool for creating sequences of visualizations, for example on a control room screen, that updates automatically.

1. Rights

To create a Scenario, you must have the following rights in the Maker (in the role, Reporter tab):

  • Access to the Scenarios module
  • Create permission for a Scenario

Once the rights are granted:

  1. Go to the Reporter
  2. Open the Scenarios module

2. Scenario list

When you access the module, you will see the list of existing Scenarios.

Features in the list view:

  • Search bar – search by scenario name
  • Scenario name
  • Rights:
    • Guest – can view the history and open the Scenario, but cannot edit it
    • Owner – can edit, delete, launch, and manage user access
  • Number of users with access (owners + guests)

Available actions:

  • Start a Scenario (only available if at least one scene exists inside)
  • Open the Scenario (arrow icon)
  • View history (cogwheel icon)
  • Edit (pencil icon – owners only)
  • Delete (trash icon – owners only)

Guests can only open a Scenario, view its history, and start it.

3. Inside a Scenario

Opening a Scenario displays two tabs:

  • Settings
  • User rights

3.1 Settings tab

This is where you define the content and sequence of your Scenario.

  • Add a scene – click this button to insert dashboards and/or explorations.
  • Scenario total duration – displayed at the top center, showing the sum of all scene display times.
  • Repeat scenario – toggle to restart the sequence automatically after the last scene.

Scenes

Each scene has its own configuration:

  • Display time – how long the scene will remain on screen
  • KPI refresh time – how often KPIs update within the scene
  • Filters – apply filters to the scene’s content
  • Edit – modify a specific scene
  • Delete – remove a scene

Owners can:

  • Add, edit, and delete scenes
  • Change the scene order using drag-and-drop
  • Enable/disable scenario repetition

Guests can:

  • View the list of scenes and their details (display time, KPI refresh time, filters)
  • They cannot add, edit, delete, reorder scenes, or change the repeat setting.

3.2 User rights tab

This tab manages access to the Scenario.

  • Search bar – find users by name
  • Add a user – new users are added as guests by default
  • Change role – switch a user from guest to owner
  • Remove user – revoke access

Only owners can manage user rights.

4. Launching a Scenario

Once at least one scene is configured, owners and guests can start the Scenario.

When the Scenario is launched:

  • The sequence opens with all KPIs from the selected dashboards/explorations.
  • A progress bar under each KPI shows the time remaining before its refresh.
  • At the top of the screen, another progress bar indicates how much time is left before switching to the next scene (with all its KPIs).
  • Two buttons at the top allow you to:
    • Switch to full-screen mode
    • Jump directly to the next scene
  • Next to each KPI, the source exploration is displayed.
