Understanding the Training Scenario Sheet
The Training Scenario sheet is a specialized switching sheet type that contains only the fields and tabs necessary to record and conduct training scenarios.
Training Menu and Toolbar Options
Training Scenario actions are available through the Training menu, which is only visible with a Training Scenario sheet.
• Play Scenario...: plays each step in the scenario. See “Playing a Training Scenario”.
• Play Scenario to Here...: plays the scenario up to and including a selected step. See “Playing a Training Scenario”.
• Pause Scenario: pauses scenario execution. See “Pausing a Training Scenario”.
• Reset Model...: launches the Reset Model Confirmation dialog box that asks you to confirm that you want to reset the NTS back to the nominal state. See “Resetting the Model”.
• Play Historical Dataset...: allows you to open a recorded historical dataset. See “Replaying a Storm Scenario” for more information.
• Pause Historical Dataset: allows you to pause playback of a historical dataset. See “Replaying a Storm Scenario” for more information.
• Resume Historical Dataset: allows you to resume a paused playback of a historical dataset. See “Replaying a Storm Scenario” for more information.
• Cancel Historical Dataset: allows you to cancel playback of a historical dataset. See “Replaying a Storm Scenario” for more information.
Request Tab
The trainer can fill out the Request tab to describe the type of scenario and specify a default offset that will be used for playback of recorded steps.
The Request tab includes the following fields:
• Owner: allows the trainer to take ownership of the sheet.
• Start Date: beginning date and time when training scenario is played.
• Finish Date: date and time when training scenario is executed.
• Default Offset: the Default Offset field is an editable text field in the format that allows you to add a default wait period (hours:minutes:seconds) for the scenario steps.
• Description of Scenario: text field for adding information about the scenario.
Steps Tab
Each step in the steps tab has an editable Offset Time that allows the trainer to adjust the timing of the step execution during playback. The Offset Time is in the format of hours:minutes:seconds.
Recording Scenario Steps
Once you have created a new Training Scenario sheet, you will be able to record actions that trainees will respond to during a training session. Scenarios may show operational situations such as customer calls coming in, predicted outages occurring, AMI last gasps received, repredictions occurring, SCADA devices operating, and other elements.
