Workflow: Sampling Biomass at a Waypoint
This diagram describes the decisions and processes that a field biologist would use to completely sample the biomass at a specific agency waypoint. The workflow aims to be flexible by allowing the biologist to select a variable number of patches or twigs. The design focuses on what the user would experience rather than what they would have to click. Many of the decision points and steps will be driven automatically by input from measuring instruments. For example, measuring long axis with the disto would automatically transtion the user to the process of measuring the short axis.
This is me interpreting the notes from Don, Kenrick and myself. The idea is this is the users perspective. Then once this is agreed I can do a state machine from the “computer’s” perspective. I’ll do quick mockup forms that represent the different dialogs in the state machine (wizard). Then that gets turned into a windows .net workflow and a series of .NET forms.
