ILS - Insite License and Support
Use Cases
The format of the use cases in this document follows a recommendation of Martin Fowler. A text format is used as it is described in his book "UML distilled". If a use case contains a "meta" step that is documented in detail in another use case or in a instruction or "how-to" page, there's a reference link on the bottom that leads you to this detailed page. For instruction and how-to pages we use a simple numbered list format. In general, only use cases and instructions for customers are documented here.
Within the use-cases, you, the customer and maybe account administrator and insite are so-called "actors" and we stick to these terms in the third person. On the instruction and how-to pages we use the more personal second person for a better reading. Don't expect a use case that describes how insite employees do their stuff.
Use the main use case as an anchor to the detailed "sub" use cases.
