Select the Microsimulation

Browse the Microsimulation Catalogue to find a scenario that best fits your use case. Once you've selected a Microsimulation, reach out to your iluminr Customer Success Manager with the name or ID of the scenario you'd like to use. Your CSM will import the Microsimulation into your organisation’s iluminr account and schedule a preview session to walk you through the experience — highlighting the 80% prebuilt content and the 20% available for customisation.

Preview the Microsimulation

  1. Log in with your iluminr credentials.

  2. From the left-hand menu, click Microsimulations to open the Microsimulation Library.
  3. Find the Microsimulation you want to configure. 

  4. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) and select Preview.

  5. You’ll be taken to the Event Room, which simulates the participant experience.

  6. Click the Microsimulation pill at the top of the Event Room to preview the guide.

  7. Review the learning objectives (these can be edited later via the Library)
  8. Watch the scenario video (note: this is a generic video designed to build realism)

  9. Read the Information Board and Event Tasks Board, noting changes to any placeholders (e.g. [INSERT CRITICAL VENDOR HERE]) that need to be updated. 

  10. Click Next in the pop-ups to continue to preview the Microsimulation.


🎯 Consider how the scenario/information, objectives, and activities/tasks apply to your participants, and adjust the severity or context of the scenario as needed.
