Case collections are how you organize your content to be shown in courses.

Creating a case collection in a project

You can create a Case Collection via the slides and images option in the sidebar of Pathotrainer and assign that case collection to a project during setup.

Or you can directly add a case collection to a project from within the project details window (shown below). If you have not added any case collections to your project, you will see the following bluetext (1) prompting you to do so:

If you have already added some case collections, you can click on the bluetext name of the case collection(s) (1) to view the case collection:

then click Case Collections (2),

and then Create (3).

Creating a New Case Collection

After hitting the “Create” button, you will be presented with the option to define some details about your new collection:

1. Uploading a logo image
2. Assigning the case to a project
3. Giving the case a name
4. Assigning a scoring form for your trainees - how they will complete slide-based exam questions
5. Assigning a clinical information form for your trainees
6. Options to toggle slide label and measurement visibility
7. Additional comment templates

Adding Cases

Now that you've created a case, its time to add some cases.

To do this, navigate to the “Cases” tab and click the “Create”

You will find yourself in the Editing Cases tab.
Here you can set up various case properties:

1. A name for the case
2. Whether to display the slide filename, caption, or no label to the participants
3. Comments
4. Select your slide(s) from your PMA core inventory via the file treeview
5. Save your slides

Selecting slides to add

To select slides, navigate the treeview and click the checkmark next to your desired slides (1). These can be from several different folders, PMA.cores, or servers. You can hover your mouse over the filename to preview a thumbnail of the image. When you've picked them, click 'Add selected slides' (2).

Once the slides are added you can check and change several details about them

1. The filename
2. The path
3. The caption - you can edit this which is useful if you want to give different labels to your participants and only display the caption
4. Add comments
5. See and modify annotations on the slide

You can also click the 'X' button to remove a slide from the collection

Adding Multiple Cases

To add multiple cases at once that each have their own folder, you can click the 'Create multiple' button in the Cases tab. Then you will be prompted to select a directory containing all the Case subfolders (1), click to preview what case folders are detected (2), Create (3).

A Note on Adding Content

You can use any slides from your slide inventory in Pathotrainer case collections. The slide inventory is managed by PMA.core - for guides on how to import content there, you might find these links useful:
