This article explains how to manage and publish new scenarios in Calven.
Scenario refers to a configuration of floor plan, group blocks, space plan, and resources - for an office.
To learn how to initially setup and edit your floor plan, group blocks, space plan and resources, check out designing your office in Calven.
Scenario planning is a great way to plan out larger or longer-term changes to your office when you need to save drafts, iterate, and test different configuration options.
Live scenario refers to the currently published configuration of the floor plan, group blocks, space plan, and resources.
When you create a new scenario, Calven duplicates the live one (including floor plan, group blocks, space plan, and all other configurations from the floor plan editor) and creates a draft version that you can edit without disrupting the live configuration.
Clicking into a scenario display all previous versions of that scenario, and allow you to edit or publish it:
Editing a scenario gives you all the same options as editing your floor plan - however, when editing a scenario, you'll be able to save your changes as a draft, without publishing them. This is not possible when performing regular floor plan edits.
When you're editing a non-live scenario, use the close button to save or discard your changes:
When saving changes, Calven will prompt you to add a description of what you've done:
When you're ready to publish a non-live scenario, use the publish scenario button. Publishing a new scenario will fully replace everything in the live scenario with the new configuration, and archive the live scenario, meaning you'll no longer be able to make changes to it.
If there have been updates to the live scenario in the time since the new scenario was first created, Calven will give you a warning:
Changes
When you're editing a scenario, you can use the changes tab to see all moves, adds and changes between the current version and the live one:
These are examples of all types of changes that will be reflected in the changelog:
