Introduction

A small glossary for the used terms can be found under Miscellaneous.
Please enter all comments concerning the use cases on the discussion page.

Scenario

• A note pad should be like an electronic post-it for an album where the user can save private notes.
• It should be about the size of half a page (similar to a text editor).
• As a note pad is like a text document, editing the not pad means editing the whole text.
• Editing an album and editing the related note pad are two separate use cases.
• Each user of an album gets one private note pad corresponding to the album which is only visible and editable for him.
• The note pad always stays in the state pending and can therefore be edited as long as it exists (independently from the state of the album)
• When creating an album, the related private note pad of the album owner will automatically be created by the system (use case "Create note pad" is not needed).
• The deletion of a note pad will also happen automatically when deleting the related album. It is not possible to delete a note pad by itself (but it is possible to delete all content (text) of the note pad, see UC_FAC_NP_02 Edit note pad).

Sharing an album

• When sharing an album, each shared user gets a private note pad for the album + one shared note pad for all shared users will be available.
• The shared note pad can be read and write by all shared users.
