== Use Cases for Client API and Bulk Operations ==

=== Description ===
The two key use cases (from one of Nick's emails):

1) User submits data to caTissue such that participant(s) are created and assigned to the BRICCS collection protocol, primary samples received
are logged, derived samples are recorded, and aliquots are created, and located, appropriately.[[BR]]
2) User submits an excel chart style array of aliquot barcodes and a box identifier, such that caTissue can update the location of the aliquots
with reference to their container (the box) and their location within the box (the grid reference).

=== Implementation ===
Here is a fairly generic strategy:

* Develop the use cases, in sufficient detail to be able to...
* Translate use cases into actions using caTissue's domain objects
* Analyse in terms of client API and / or bulk operations
  1. For client API
     a. Decide the user interface
     a. Evaluate how to use the 2-d barcode reader
  1. For bulk operations
     a. Design mapping file
     a. Design utility (or find a utility?) to export csv file from a spreadsheet
* Code and Test
