Instructor- Manage Scenario Templates
Manage Scenario Templates allows schools to use a framework when creating a scenario. When selected, the framework automatically adds the skills and documents to a scenario. Platinum provides many templates that can be selected, or schools can create their own custom templates. These templates can also be viewed or printed for use outside the system, whether for a cohort not using a scenario class or for other purposes.
Note: Options and displays mentioned in this article will differ for users depending on their profession, class associations, and permissions assigned to their instructor role within Platinum Planner.
To locate this feature, click the Options tab in the red toolbar and select Manage Scenario Templates.
