Use Case Find Item
Summary:: Select (one or more) existing items from a database.
Assumptions:: there is a non-empty record set to choose from
Description:: The user performs a selection by
- choosing a collection (data base, resultset, folder etc.)
if necessary performing a QueryCollection against it, and
- selecting manually from the result set obtained.
Result:: a RecordSet
Exceptions:: nothing found or user aborts (yields empty RS or exception?)
Actors:: user
Notes::
this is best understood as «picking» an item, where the list is either the same as last time or selected from a suitable shortlist and if necessary shortened ad hoc (narrowed) by giving a search term. Contrast this with a query.
