As a cataloger, I need the ability to select values from drop down lists when in edit mode for the Work entity.

In scope

The Work entity components with drop down menus include:

• Assigning Agency

• Content Type

• Government Publication

• Intended Audience

• Language Code

• Note Type

• Place of Origin of the Work

• Relationship Designator

Addtionally, the simple action buttons (save & keep, save & close, cancel) are operational with respect to the drop down components of the Work entity

• Selecting multiple values from a drop down

• Removing / deleting a value selected from a drop down

Out of scope

• Drop down components for Instance entity

• Toast and warning messages associated with action buttons

Drop down menus were initially supported with the Thin Thread release in December

As we incorporate wireframe designs into the interface, we will need to add this functionality back into the interface to support cataloging workflows.

Each of the components listed above has a corresponding list of controlled terms that should be compiled and displayed alphabetically in each drop down menu.

1. Base case

GIVEN that a cataloger is editing a Work entity

WHEN the Work edit mode screen is displayed

THEN the labels for each of the components from the list above are included in the display

AND corresponding drop down functions are displayed and actionable (e.g. not greyed out)

AND the action buttons (Save & keep, Save & close, Cancel) are displayed and actionable

2. Drop down functionality

GIVEN scenario 1

WHEN the cataloger selects the drop down function for each of the components listed above

THEN the drop down menu displays the corresponding values specific for that component, with the values listed alphabetically

3. Select drop down functionality

GIVEN scenario 2

WHEN the cataloger selects / highlights a value from the drop down menu

THEN the selected value is displayed in the form

4. Save & keep

GIVEN scenario 3

WHEN the cataloger selects Save & keep

THEN the edits made through the drop down menu are saved locally

AND the cataloger remains in edit mode for the Work entity

5. Save & close

GIVEN scenario 3

WHEN the cataloger selects Save & close

THEN the edits made through the drop down menu are saved to the back end database

AND the edit mode closes

AND the home screen for the MARVA editor displays

6. Cancel

GIVEN scenario 3

WHEN the cataloger selects Cancel

THEN none of the edits performed using drop down menus are saved to the back end database

AND the edit mode closes

AND the home screen for teh MARVA editor displays
