Dashboard Set Up

Our no-code simulation platform is divided into two main sections:

  1. Dashboard: displays the final results and outcomes.

  2. Setup: an interface for uploading new simulations.

In this section we will go over the Setup page.

Uploading a new simulation

Uploading a new simulation is straightforward. Simply copy and paste the Google Sheets URL. And remember, always share the spreadsheet with generic-simulator-parser@generic-simulator.iam.gserviceaccount.com

After inserting the URL, you can then upload the spreadsheet and start the validation process.

Validating a simulation

The tool has an automatic validation process that helps you detect and correct any possible errors in the spreadsheet.

Data checks

These make sure that:

  • All necessary spreadsheet tables are present

  • Each table has the necessary columns, with values filled in and in the correct input type.

  • There are no formula syntax errors, unsupported functions, or undefined references.

Visual flow verification

Although the validation process cannot automatically verify that agent behaviors are correctly modeled, it does produce diagrams for visual checks, particularly for token flows.

Circular dependencies

Circular dependencies emerge when a variable calculation depends on itself, usually through chained dependencies with other variables.

This is a common error in the simulations, especially when variables are highly interconnected and the token mechanics are coupled.

In order to solve these circular dependency erros, we need to break up some of these dependencies. A common and very effective strategy is to consider data from the previous step rather than the current one. This can ve done very easily through the .previous syntax.

Variable interactions

This consists of another visual check for you to visualize the dependency tree of variables. That is, which variable affects which.

Once you are satisfied, and all checks are in green, you can push the result to the live dashboard and initiate the simulation using the Setup simulation with tested spreadsheet option.
