Scenario builder 1.0: sharing scenarios

Note: we are excited to introduce ThingLink Scenario Builder 2.0, a significantly enhanced version that simplifies the creation of immersive learning and interactive training experiences. We recommend transitioning to Version 2.0, as Scenario Builder 1.0 will be phased out in January 2025.

Scenario visibility settings

There are three scenario visibility settings you can use:

• Public scenarios can be accessed by anyone. The viewer does not need a ThingLink account, but their progress will not be tracked.
• Organization scenarios can be accessed by any user from your ThingLink organization. The viewer will need to sign into their ThingLink account.
• Private scenarios are available only to users who have been added to the scenario (see below). The viewer will need to sign into their ThingLink account to go through the scenario.

All scenarios are private by default.

Note! Scenario visibility settings and scene visibility settings are independent. Changing the visibility setting of your scenario does not change the visibility settings of the ThingLink scenes/content you used to create the scenario. If your scenario is public but your viewers are getting an error saying that the content is private, check if you need to update the content visibility settings.

You can change the scenario visibility setting and add learners or co-editors (see below) using the ‘Manage access’ button in the upper-right corner:

Adding learners and collaborators

You can add specific users or groups from your ThingLink organization as viewers, editors or administrators using the 'Manage access' menu - please see the interactive image above. 

• Viewers will be able to view the scenario if it’s shared via a link or an embed regardless of the scenario visibility setting.
• Editors will be able to see and edit the scenario on their Scenarios page.
• Administrators will be able to see and edit the scenario and add other users. 

Sharing scenarios

You can share scenarios with your learners by embedding them or sharing a link to the scenario. Both can be done by opening the scenario and clicking the ‘Share’ button.

Sharing a link

You can share scenarios via a direct link, e.g. https://www.thinglink.com/scenariocard/1504519067128561666. 

Note that if the scenario is set to 'Private' or 'Organization' visibility setting and the user is not logged into their ThingLink account, they will be asked to log in first.

Embedding scenarios

You can embed scenarios using iframe embed code. Simply click the 'Share' button, copy the code then add it to your website. Embedded scenarios look like this:

Here's a sample embed code you can try with your website/LMS:

<iframe width="960" height="720" src="https://www.thinglink.com/view/scenario/1578707619747463171" type="text/html" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen scrolling="no"></iframe>

Note that if the scenario is set to 'Private' or 'Organization' visibility setting and the user is not logged into their ThingLink account, they will be asked to log in first. 

Next steps

Once your learners go through the scenario you've shared, you can check their results using scenario statistics. Learn more about scenario statistics in this article.
