Storyboard - Prototype Testing Scenario A

Task 1: Get a count of available specimens for Lasiurus.

---> Type "Lasiurus" into the text box and click "Find Taxon."

 

---> Results will appear in the lower-right section. A "Lasiurus" condition indicator will appear under the "Taxon" heading.

 

Task 2: Narrow your results to specimens collected in California since 1920.

---> These pictures show narrowing first by date, then by location, but it can also be done in the opposite order.

---> Click on the "Date" heading. The Date panel will appear to the left. Type in "1920" and click "Find Date."

 

---> The narrowed results will appear in the results table. A "1920" condition will appear under the "Date" heading. Next, click the "Location" heading.

 

---> The "Location" panel will appear on the left. Type in "California" and click "Find Location."

 

---> The narrowed results will appear in the results table, and the "California" condition will appear below the "Location" heading.

 

Task 3: Specify that the results include only the following information: Catalog Number, Institution, Scientific Name, preparation, and Collection year.

 

---> Click the "Show/Hide Columns" link. A panel with checkboxes for the results columns will appear to the left.

 

---> Uncheck the appropriate columns, and click "Apply Selection." The unchecked columns will disappear from the results display.

 

 

Task 4: Download the results

 

---> Click the "Export" link on the right. This feature is only mocked up in this prototype. The intention is to open a panel where the user can select from a variety of file types, and then download a file with the visible results records in that format.
