Run a live session with the Live Dashboard

The Live Dashboard is your control panel for running a simulation with a group in real time — ideal for a classroom, workshop, or training session. It shows a big join code and QR for participants, then tracks everyone's progress live as they take part.

Before you start: turn your simulation into a Space

A live session runs through a Space — the workspace that holds your simulation (as an activity) and tracks participants’ runs in real time. If your simulation isn’t in a space yet, create one straight from the Library:

Open the Library and find your simulation.
Click Share on the simulation’s card (its tooltip reads Share with a group).
Keep Create New selected, give the space a Name, and set the Access Level to Anonymous (no sign-in) so participants can join instantly by scanning the code.
Click Create Space. Your simulation now lives in a space, ready to run live.

Already have a space? Click Share, choose Add to Existing, pick the space, and click Add to Space.

Open the Live Dashboard

In your space, find the activity on the Content tab.
Click the arrow next to the activity's Share button and choose Live dashboard. On a phone, or if you can't share the activity, it's in the card's ⋮ menu instead. (It's also available from the activity editor's header.)
The dashboard opens full-screen — put it on the projector or shared screen.

💡 Set the space's Access Level to Anonymous (no sign-in) so participants can join instantly by scanning the code — no accounts to create. (See How sharing works.)

Step 1 — Let participants join

The dashboard opens on the join screen, showing:

A large QR code participants scan with their phone, and
The Access Code, if the activity requires one — participants enter it after opening the link.

As people join, the dashboard shows how many are currently running. You can hide or show the QR code as needed.

Step 2 — Monitor progress live

Once participants are underway, switch to the progress view to follow the session in real time:

Headline stats — how many are running, how many have completed, total messages, and elapsed time.
A view of each participant's progress as they work through the simulation.
Live updates as people advance, with a celebration when someone finishes.

If your space uses groups, pick a group in the menu at the top left to follow only that group, or choose All participants to see everyone. A group view refreshes its figures every 5 seconds. A learner counts under their group even when they joined from the space’s own link or QR code.

When to use the Live Dashboard vs. a plain link

Live Dashboard — everyone takes part together at the same time and you want to watch progress on screen (a facilitated, in-the-room session).
Link & QR code — people take part on their own schedule; you just need to hand out access. See Share a simulation with a link & QR code.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause & fix
Participants are asked to sign in when they scan	The space requires accounts. Set the access level to Anonymous (no sign-in) for an open live session.
No "Live dashboard" option on the Share button	The Live dashboard needs permission to view the activity's results, and isn't available in testing spaces. On a phone, or if you can't share the activity, look in the card's ⋮ menu instead. Otherwise ask a space admin for access.
The join code/QR isn't scanning	Increase screen brightness and size, or send participants the link from the activity's Share dialog instead.
