Use Case 1.1 - PLANNING - Build a virtual collection

Planning | Description | Requirements | UI Mockup

Sprints

1. Add a single work from an individual work page to a single supported virtual collection named My Virtual Collection.
   1. Limitation: Use current login scheme (will require multiple logins by user)  ? Is this workable at all ?
   2. UI: All pages get link to My Virtual Collections in the banner
   3. My Virtual Collection will be created for a user the first time they add an item.
      
      1. Limitation: Access limited to private only.
   4. Add new My Virtual Collections page
      
      1. Limitation: Cannot create new virtual collections.

Outstanding Questions

• How does user stayed logged in to facilitate multiple searches to build a single Virtual Collection?
  • Currently, every time a user clicks My Account, a prompt for logging in is displayed, which implies users are logged out as soon as they leave the My Account page.
  • Can we add the notion of a public and private computer?
  • Can we keep an IP address (or other identifier) for a computer that allows us to know this user is accessing the system from a previously authorized private computer?
  • What default length of time forces a log out?  Is this settable by the user?
• How to find a Virtual Collection to watch?
• How to search only within the user's owned Virtual Collections?
• How to search only within the user's watched Virtual Collections?
• How are user public Virtual Collections exposed to the public?
• How are works from external library catalogs searchable and available for inclusion in a Virtual Collection?  (Potential Demonstration B)
• The UI Mockup implies that items in a Virtual Collection can be dynamically sorted (show in title A-Z).  Are dynamic sorts sufficient (title A-Z/Z-A, author A-Z/Z-A, year ASC/DES)?  Potential Demonstration C states that the user can apply an order to items.

Status of Planning Process

• UI Mockup is fairly well developed for Potential Demonstrations A and D.  See outstanding questions above for areas that may not be represented in the mockup.
• Requirements – TBA – under development.  Not sufficiently complete for review.
