Step 3: Simulating solutions (optional)

Before saving or deploying a solution in Solution Composer, use Simulate to check the basic look, flow, and syntax of the solution. Simulate can approximate how a solution will look when it is running on a device. It cannot show exactly how the solution will look on a specific device model.

Notes:

• Make sure that all task properties in your solution are configured correctly so that you can run the simulation.
• If certain task property values are not available during the simulation, then a notification message appears.

Simulating solutions

1. Do either of the following:

   • Click Tools > Simulate.

   • From the toolbar, click .

2. Click the solution icon.

3. Navigate through the screens and respond to user prompts.

   Notes:

   • Use the computer keyboard to type data for prompts that require text input.
   • You cannot modify task properties settings from the Details pane. If you want to modify settings, then close the Simulator dialog box, and then modify the settings from the Task Properties pane.

4. Click Next on the final screen to return to the home screen.
