Use Case Number

Init1hm2.pm6.1

Brief Description

Users of systems that are designed to collect data items may need to collect data elements that were not previously described by metadata.  In this case, it is necessary that the user is able to create the metadata necessary to begin data capture.

Actor(s) for this particular use case

Metadata Specialist

Pre-condition
The state of the system before the user interacts with it

Metadata for a data element does not exist

Post condition
The state of the system after the user interacts with it

Metadata for the data element exists and data can be captured

Steps to take
The step-by-step description of how users will interact with the system to achieve a specific business goal or function

  1. The Metadata Specialist identifies data elements to be added to a system for data capture
  2. The Metadata Specialist searches all available data elements and determines that none of them meet his needs
  3. The Metadata Specialist creates new data elements locally for data capture and adds it to the system
  4. The Metadata Specialist begins data collection using the newly created data elements

Alternate Flow
Things which would prevent the normal flow of the use case

None.

Priority
The priority of implementing the use case: High, Medium or Low

High

Associated Links
The brief user stories, each describing the user interacts with the system for the one function only of the use case. There would potentially be a number of user stories that make up the use case.

Fit criterion/Acceptance Criterion 
How would actor describe the acceptable usage scenarios for the software or service that meets the actor's requirement?

The data element is stored locally for reuse in local cancer center systems.  It contains all the necessary metadata for sharing data (next use case).
