Scenario Changes

To Top

For the most part, I use the same scenario as written on DailyDigest - Designs. There are some few modifications, however. I've outlined the modified scenario here.

  • Fred is an experienced user of Daily Digest
  • He just got back from a shopping trip to Trader Joes
  • He wants to enter the foods that he purchased there
    • Enters items, and accidentally misspells asparagus
    • Goes to correct that spelling
  • He wants to enter the past three meals that he's eaten (last night's dinner, todays breakfast and lunch)
    • Receives phone call after entering last night's dinner and is distracted
  • Fred wants to look over his past meals
  • He wants to view statistics about his eating habits
  • Fred logs out

Storyboard

To Top

     Jeff goes to the Daily Digest login page and clicks “Log In.”
He's greeted with a page titled “The Room.” Deciding that he wants to enter the foods that he just
bought at Trader Joes, he clicks on “The Fridge.”
 
     Jeff goes to the Daily Digest login page and clicks “Log In.” A window pops up asking for his MIT Certificates.


 

     He's greeted with a page titled “The Room.” Deciding that he wants to enter the foods that he just

bought at Trader Joes, he clicks on “The Fridge.”

 
     On The Fridge page, Fred sees a list of the food that he's recorded on the inside of the right

door. He can scroll through the alphabetical list of items. On the left, he sees the menu to add new

items to that list (hereafter referred to as “the fridge list”).
 

     The first item he adds is a gallon of milk. He types the name in the “Food Name” text box.

Underneath, he selects “Gallon(s)” from the drop-down menu for units, and enters “1” in the amount

text box. He then enters the cost and calories in their corresponding text boxes, and finally checks the

checkboxes corresponding to the “Dairy” food group.
 

     After he types everything, he clicks “Add to Fridge”, and the milk immediately appears in the

fridge list. He reaches into his actual fridge to put the physical milk away, and notices that his 2 Liter of

Sprite is almost empty. Fred pulls it out and drinks the last bit, and turns back to the Daily Digest.
 

     Having just finished the Sprite, he navigates to it in the fridge list, and clicks the “Delete”

button associated with that entry. A confirmation dialog appears, on which he clicks “Yes.”
 

     He then goes to enter the asparagus that he's purchased into the fridge list. He fills out all of the

information, and then hits “Add to Fridge.” It is added to the fridge list and the list scrolls up

automatically to make the asparagus visible. When it appears in the fridge list, he notices that he's

spelled “asparagus” incorrectly. He clicks on the “Edit” button associated with the asparagus. The entry

becomes highlighted in the list, and all of the information populates the form on the left. He fixes the

spelling and clicks the “Add to Fridge” button.
 

     He then clicks on “The Meals” tab on the navigation bar (nav-bar) on the left edge of the screen

to enter the most recent meals that he's eaten.
