Storyboards of The User Testing Scenarios

We have aggregated the tasks from our scenarios and into 5 separate task sets:

Task Set 1.

• Start from the gene list.
• View the annotation history for the first gene on the list.
• Modify the existing annotation for that gene with data from another gene that's a homolog:
• GO function;
• EC number;
• GO COG group;
• Name.
• Submit your annotation.

	The user performs a similarity search and and gets a set of results as a gene list. The first gene on the list is the gene of his interest.
	He looks at the Gene Details and examines functional asignment for the gene. He is pretty convinced that the functional assignment is not correct.
	He wants to see the history of the annotation. He learns that it was initially annotated automatically.
	He returns to the Gene Details and wants to change the current functional assignment.
	As he clicks through to update the annotation he gets the update form. He wants to enter the data that matches that of a homolog and update gene's Name; GO function; EC number; GO COG group.
	He uses the compare and transfer tool and checks on the fields he wants to transfer from a homolog and clicks on the 'Transfer to Annotation' button.
	The data is transfered into the annotation input fields. To complete his annotation the user clicks 'Submit.'
	The 'Preview' page comes up. He reviews his data one more time and clicks on 'Submit'.
	The confirmation page comes up and clicks 'Okay' to close it.

Task Set 2.

• Start from the gene list.
• Express your opposition to this annotation (point).

	The user performs a similarity search and and gets a set of results as a gene list. The first gene on the list is the gene of his interest.
	The user disagrees with existing annotation enough to share his opinion with others but he does not have a vested interest to go in to modify it. He wants to express his opposition.

Task Set 3.

• Start from the Gene Cart.
• Change an annotation by adding a COG group.
• Add this gene to your list of watched annotations.

	The user starts from the Gene Cart. He wants to add a COG group to the first gene on his list.
	He clicks through to the Gene Details page and proceeds to update annotation.
	On the Annotation page he adds the COG Group but before he clicks 'Submit' he checks the 'Add to My Watched Annotations' checkbox.
	The 'Preview' page comes up. He reviews his data one more time and clicks 'Submit'.
	The confirmation page comes up.

Task Set 4.

• Start from the Gene Cart.
• Comment on annotations for multiple genes.

	The user starts from the Gene Cart. He wants to make a comment about all genes on his list so he selects them all and clicks 'Discuss Selected.'
	'Discuss Selected Genes' page comes up, he enters his comment and clicks 'Submit.'
	His comment is submitted to a batch of genes.

Task Set 5.

• View your watched annotations.

	Starting anywhere on the site, the user wants to see the list of the annotations he is watching. He clicks on 'My IMG' and then 'My Annotations' tab.
	'My Annotations' page comes up with a table of his watched annotations.
