Overview

This article provides a complete walkthrough on embedding and configuring an Isomer simulation in NextGen Pulse (NGP). Learn how to link Isomer objects, configure metrics, and publish interactive simulations that clients can independently facilitate.

Isomer Setup Steps

Create the Isomer Object

Add New > Content > New Isomer
Set required parameters:
- Duration in Mins
- Folder Name (AWS)
- Sim Name (eventTitle)
- Total Rounds
Work with your Digital Developer to ensure proper config.json and content files are posted

Important Limitations

BA1 sims are currently unsupported due to missing return data logic
Team-based mechanics are not functional in NGP (all users will be treated as individuals)
Ensure Isomer sim doesn’t store progress until a team lead proceeds

Linking to NGP

Once the sim object is created:

Create a new Pulse Flow: Add New > Content > New Pulse Flow
Add a One Column page for sim (it will take full screen)
Drag Inputs > Isomer Content Object onto the page
Link the Isomer sim you created
Set Round and Score numbers as required

Note: Sim must be published to test (Preview won’t load sim)

Results View & Metrics

Leaders see Results via the bottom bar during the session
Metrics and progress visibility comes from Excel ranges defined in the config.json
To update what’s visible:
- Work with Digital Developer to update config.json and content doc
- Re-link the sim in the flow to force refresh
Key insights: initiatives selected, round completion, score, etc.
