Use Case Diagram

Representative Use Case Use Case IDUC-008 Use CaseAssign (Reassign) Task ActorsP: Task Manager, S: Assignee Pre-conditionsA task has been created in the system Flow of Events 1.The Task Manager selects an existing task or group of tasks. 2.The Task Manager enters a date for the task to be completed. 2.1 The date must be greater than today’s date. If the Task Manager enters a date prior to today’s date, the system will display an error message and prompt the Task Manager to enter a different date. 3.The Task Manager selects an Assignee in the system. 3.1 To assign a task, the Assignee must exist in the system. If the Assignee does not exist in the system, the Task Manager must contact the Administrator. 4.The Task Manager assigns the task to the Assignee. 4.1 If the task already has been assigned to another Assignee, the system displays a message notifying the Task Manager that the task already has an Assignee and asks the Task Manager to confirm the action If the Task Manager does not confirm, the system prompts the Task Manager to select another task (go to flow 1.1) If the Task Manager confirms, the system assigns the task to the Assignee. 5.The system notifies the Assignee that a task has been assigned. 5.1 If the notification subsystem does not notify the Assignee, the task still displays on the dashboard. 6.The system designates the task as “outstanding.” 6.1 If the tasks are being monitored manually, the Task Manager is responsible for notifying all Assignees of their new and current tasks. Post- conditions Assignee has notification of the new task in the system and the task is denoted “outstanding” in the system.
