The page explains to SP coordinators how to create a new Cast sheet from scratch, in the Standardized Patient Administration module of LearningSpace.


Creating Cast Sheets

Cast sheets are designed to encase simulated patient scenario Sessions that are part of your long term medical training programs. 

Important: Cast Sheets Are Not Equivalent to Activities

By choice, your Cast sheet can correspond to the Activities created in your LearningSpace system. However, cast sheets function independently of activities: the two components are not interchangeable and cannot be tied together in any way. 

  1. Enter the SPA module from your Dashboard. You will land on the Casting tab of the SPA module.
  2. Stay on the tab, and click New.

  3. A pop-up opens where you can enter the name of your new cast sheet.


    Add your Cast sheet to an existing Cabinet or click the + sign next to the Cabinet drop-down to create a new one.

    You are only able to save a new Cast sheet if you add it to a Cabinet.

  4. Click Create once you named your Cast sheet. 

  5. Once your cast sheet is ready, you can start adding Sessions:

    You will be notified about having successfully added a new Session: 


For creating a Group chat for all confirmed SPs within a Cast sheet, use the Chat icon located on the right in the Cast sheet's header.
You can also create a specific SP group for all confirmed SPs within a Cast sheet, with the Create SP Group option. The group will be listed and can be managed in the User Manager, under Groups. 

Copying Cast Sheets

Cast sheets can be copied by clicking on the Copy icon, located in the upper right corner of the Casting page.

  • The copied Cast sheet will have the original Cast sheet's title followed by '(copy)'.
  • Session name and Cases of the original Cast sheet will be copied over
  • Date and the SPs will not be copied to the new Cast sheet.

Cast Sheet title and Cabinet can also be changed for the copied Cast sheet.

Exporting Cast Sheets

The data of the Sessions included in Cast sheets can be exported into XLSX files with the help of the Export Cast Sheet option, located in the upper right corner of the Casting page.
