7 | | * Exercise Timeline - the fundamental tool of an exercise is a timeline. A timeline generally consists of 'messages' that record: |
8 | | * DateTime - the date and time the message is due to be communicated to the relevant exercise participants |
9 | | * From - who the message is 'from', usually it is from Exercise Control, or Exercise Control on behalf of one of the Exercise Participants |
| 7 | * Exercise Master Log - the fundamental tool of an exercise is a master log. A master log generally consists of 'message injects' that record: |
| 8 | * Date and Time - the date and time the message is due to be communicated to the relevant exercise participants. |
| 9 | * From - who the inject is 'from', usually it is from Exercise Control, or Exercise Control on behalf of one of the Exercise Participants |
| 10 | * To - who the inject is 'to', usually one or more Exercise Participants. These could be organisations, groups, roles or people. |
| 11 | * Message - the actual message inject that will be sent to the relevant participants. |
| 12 | * Note - a note field that is usually only available to Exercise Control and contains guidance about this inject to those delivering the exercise. Some inject entries may be just notes to Exercise Control to see if certain states or conditions have been reached in the exercise. |
| 13 | * Participants Directory - the list of all exercise participants that is generally available to all of the exercise organisers |
