Inspection Test of Resource Management

Component Inspector Date Status Remarks
2.4 GLF 21nov11 FIX Add introductory paragraph(s). Discussion needs to be consistent with the decision we make on the top-level menu.
2.4.1P1 (Manage Instructors) GLF 21nov11 DONE  
2.4.1P2 GLF 21nov11 FIX As noted in remarks for the User Interface Overview, we need to be clear about when we're editing the data for the department as a whole, versus an individual schedule. We will determine this at an upcoming meeting.
2.4.1P3 GLF 21nov11 DONE  
2.4.1P4 GLF 21nov11 DONE  
2.4.1P5 GLF 21nov11 DONE  
2.4.1P6 GLF 21nov11 FIX The instructor data fields need to be made consistent with the prototype version of instructor data. At this point, we'll do of the following:
  • Change the bulleted list to be THE definitive version of the instructor data fields.

  • If there is time, update Figures 2.4.1 through 2.4.3 to be consistent with the bulleted list. If not, add the following italicized sentences after the bulleted list: "Note: Figures 2.4.1.1 through 2.4.1.3 are not fully consistent with the preceding bulleted list. The list is the definitive description of the data components of an instructor."

  • Whether or not the prototype is updated, add the following additional italicized paragraph: "Note: In the event of any discrepancies between the preceding list and the prototype UI, the preceding list is the definitive description of instructor data components."
2.4.1P7 (Add Instructor) GLF 21nov11 FIX After you say that the user can "navigate away" in order not to save the information, you need to then say that when the user comes back, the unsaved information is still in the UI. This is the idea of the persistent user workspace we've talked about in class discussion, where the user can type information without saving it, navigate away, and then come back with the unsaved type information still there.
2.4.1I2.4.1.2 GLF 21nov11 DONE

2.4.1P9 GLF 21nov11 FIX Clarify why the ID can't be edited in this view, and explain where it can be edited. If it can't be edited at all, then say that in order to change an instructor ID, the instructor record must be deleted and re-added.
2.4.1P10 GLF 21nov11 DONE
2.4.1P11 (Delete Instructor) GLF 21nov11 FIX I think it would be better to have this be a pop-up, instead of a separate view.
2.4.1I2.4.1.4 GLF 21nov11 DONE
2.4.1P12 GLF 21nov11 FIX If it is a changed to a pop-up, then say "the pop-up is dismissed" instead of "the screen will return back".

2.4.2I2.4.2.1 GLF 21nov11 FIX Change "STU" to "SCU".
2.4.2P2 GLF 21nov11 FIX As with the instructor information, we need to determine exactly what "saved for the department" means. Again, we'll figure this out at our next meeting.

2.4.2P5 GLF 21nov11 FIX DONE

2.4.2P7 (Add Course) GLF 21nov11 FIX As with 'Add Instructor', after you say that the user can "navigate away", you need to then say that when the user comes back, the unsaved information is still in the UI.

2.4.3I2.4.3.1 GLF 21nov11 FIX Change "STU" to "SCU".
2.4.3P2 GLF 21nov11 FIX As instructors and courses, we need to determine exactly what "saved for the department" means. Again, we'll figure this out at our next meeting.
