Templates make creating a standardized scenario faster and easier than building one from scratch. NoldusViso ships with a number of standard templates, available from the scenario menu: Training, Usability Test, and Focus Group — more will follow.

Each template contains a description of a standard research scenario, along with placeholders for sources, subjects, tasks, and events. The number and type of placeholders differs per template.

This page is for Researchers/Trainers and Administrators, the roles that can create and configure scenarios.

Prerequisites

• Your role must allow configuring scenarios (Administrator or Researcher/Trainer) — see User Accounts and Roles.
• Devices (cameras, microphones) must already be registered in the system before they can be assigned to a template's source placeholders.

Available templates

• Training — a standard scenario set up for training and simulation sessions.
• Usability Test — a standard scenario set up for observing usability and UX testing sessions.
• Focus Group — a standard scenario set up for observing group discussions.
