Default Aspects of All Use Cases

Direct Actors:	User: end-user in any role System: The PIMS system being built Admin: Web-site administrator, has authority to perform security-critical operations. Scientist: Post-graduate or post-doctoral wet lab scientist Senior Scientist: Post-doctoral scientist Group leader: someone with authority to add users to a group, usually a senior scientist. Technician: Technical staff Experimenter: Scientist, or technician sometimes PI PI: head of lab When actors are not listed, assume User is doing it. Items beginning with "see" indicate that System has presented a new screen.
Stakeholders:	Project Owners and other members
Prereq:	User is logged in except for UC-Log in

UC-Search PIMS: Search data held in PIMS

Summary:	A user may wish to search the information held in PIMS. This might be for purposes of "data mining" e.g. to determine the outcomes of particular experiments in order to identify reasons for failure. Or to retrieve information about an individual, group, project etc.
Importance:	Expected
Priority:	Desired
Use Frequency:	Sometimes
Prereq:	User must belong to a user group with appropriate access rights
Main Success Scenario:	visit "Search" page see "New search" page enter or select appropriate details, select search criteria and click to continue see information retrieved from PIMS matching search criteria
Alternative 3a Scenario Extensions:	Search is for information associated with a barcode enter appropriate details at step 3 by performing UC-Scan barcode: Scan a barcode Alternative 1a steps 2-4
Alternative 4a Scenario Extensions:	Search results are too broad: too many results TODO
Alternative 4b Scenario Extensions:	Search results are too narrow: too few or no results TODO
Notes and Questions	selectable search criteria will enable a user to narrow a search provide clickable links to display individual view pages listed in search results?
