About the App | Download | Picture Gallery |FAQ’s

1) Where are my cases saved?

The cases are saved under the ‘Author Cases’ section. They will remain there unless deleted. Published cases will be saved in your ‘Author Cases’ section where they can still be authored and in the cloud for others to submit review notes. The cases downloaded for review will be saved in the Review Cases section. Cases that are not published will remain on the tablet.

2) How do I download a case using the app?

To download cases, login to your account and go to ‘Review Cases’ located on the bottom menu. Tap on the ‘Retrieve Cases’ button at the top right of the screen, then select the case you want to view from the list provided. Once selected, tap on the ‘Download’ button to download the case. Once the case is downloaded, the case will be added to the ‘Review Cases’ collection.

3) How do I play a case?

To play a case, select a case of your choice from the ‘Author Cases’ or ‘Review Cases’ areas. Read through all the virtual case information when you are prompted and select an option so that you can proceed through the case. At times, you could be presented with having more than one option instead of having just one. Be sure to continue to select options until you reach the end of the pathway for that case.

4) How does the scoring work?

The scoring for each case is based on the path that the user has selected or choices selected in questions within the scenarios. The total score would be the sum of all the weighted scores on the path that the user has chosen. It is important to note that the designer may not have included scoring on all of the cases.

When adding a link between nodes or creating a radio/check-box option the author can include a score value from 1 to 100. These scores are not visible to the player until they reach the end of the case.

5) Why can’t I publish my cases?

If you have reached the limit of publishing free cases, in order to publish more cases, you must purchase a publishing license. There are three publishing licenses available:

  • 1 License For Publishing: publish one case for £9.99
  • 10 Licenses For Publishing: publish 10 cases for £99.99

6) Do I need 3G or Wi-Fi to author cases/ scenarios?

To author or play a case that has been downloaded or created by you, you will not need 3G or Wi-Fi. However, you will need either 3G or Wi-Fi to download or publish the cases.

7) Can I use the app when traveling underground?

Yes, you can use the app to play and author cases that you have previously downloaded or created but you are unable to download or publish cases when there is no network connection.

10) What is a node?

A node represents a page in the scenario which is represented in the map as a rounded square.

Links are the arrows on the map which join the nodes together. The arrow direction shows the pathway between nodes. Links have their own labels which appear as options in the scenario to move onto the next linking node.

A case map is a virtual representation of the scenario showing all nodes and links between the nodes.
