SIMCEL provides built-in collaboration tools so your team can coordinate planning activities without leaving the platform.

​
Task management

A dedicated space to create, assign, and track work directly in SIMCEL. Tasks can be linked to Plans, Scenarios, and Events so coordination is grounded in planning context.

​
Accessing tasks

Navigate to Tasks under the Collab section in the sidebar. The summary bar shows task counts by status: Total, To Do, In Progress, Completed, Rejected, with an overall progress bar. Toggle between All tasks and My tasks (top right) to switch scope.

​
Contextual comments

Comments are embedded directly inside object drawers (Plans, Scenarios, Events), keeping discussions tied to the right context.

​
Adding a comment

  1. Open the Comments tab inside any object’s drawer
  2. Post your comment directly under the object
  3. Use @username to mention and notify teammates
Comments are grouped by day (newest first) with author name, timestamp, and mentions visible.

​
Managing comments

  • Edit or Delete your own comments to correct mistakes or remove outdated information
  • Like or Dislike to signal agreement or disagreement without starting a new thread

​
Activity log

Every object (Plan, Scenario, Event) maintains an automatic timeline of all actions taken on it.

​
What gets logged

  • Object creation (e.g., “Alice created Event B”)
  • Status changes (e.g., “John updated Scenario A”)
  • Edits and modifications
Each entry contains the user’s name, timestamp, and a short description. Entries are grouped by day with the most recent at the top.

​
Viewing the log

Open the Activity Log tab in any object’s drawer to see the complete history. This provides a clear audit trail of who changed what and when.

​
Object drawers

Drawers let you open and explore Plans, Scenarios, and Events without leaving your current page.

​
What you can do in a drawer

  • View the object’s structured data (attributes, linked items)
  • Switch to the Comments tab for discussion
  • Switch to the Activity Log tab for change history
  • Navigate to linked objects - Jump from a Plan to its Scenarios, from a Scenario to its Events
  • Go back returns to the previous drawer without losing context or scroll position
Plan (see global setup and scenarios)
  → Scenario (see assumptions, linked events)
    → Event (review adjustments driving demand)
This layered navigation lets you move from high-level planning down to specific events while always keeping the right context in view.
