Use Case Inventory
From Morwenna, in LJ:
Yesterday new_man and I were talking about how Querki might be the right tool for cataloging our theatre stuff: costumes, props, raw materials, set pieces, lighting gear, &c. Right now it's all chaos.
It's going to be really important that we be able to have photographs (possibly multiple photographs) associated with each item.
This is one of those basic Apps that I suspect almost anybody could use. It specifically leverages Querki's talent for adding new Properties as needed, since many folks will need the ability to create their own custom Properties and Tags to make sense of what they specifically need to track.
But it's more or less ridiculously easy, the sort of table-stakes App that we should probably do early, because it can be done with pretty much just the basic functionality. The basic Model is simply an Object, with a few common (optional) Properties like Name, Number, Location and Pictures. We'll want a brief tutorial on how to subclass that and add additional Properties for the specific kinds of things you're trying to keep track of.
- Feature - Images: As she points out, being able to associate one or more photos with each inventoried object is often going to be essential. We're going to have Images from the very start, but this will drive the need to be able to upload them easily, and to be able to have a first-class Photo Type, so that I can have a List[Photo] associated with each Thing, and displayed easily.
