This use case describes one part of the end-to-end story.


I could use some help with this one

Thanks for framing this up! Questions:

1) (Getting into design) does the use case start from a "Decloak" button in the left nav bar (current button should be renamed to "Cloak")? Aaron I had imagined it started with that pop-up list that trelliscope presents where you have to select the results set you want to open. 2) Is a "result set" simply a set of data stored on our back-end? Or can it further filtered in the UI (table/univariate/multi-variate)? Aaron What I called a results set is probably called a "Display" in Trelliscope. If you go to https://alacer.shinyapps.io/worldbank/, a window titled "Open New Display". The window has two results sets: ...Risk_HighCharts and ...Risk_Components. 3) How would multiple key files be handled? (Would one key file not suffice?) Aaron If the results were composed of data from more than one cloaked file, then you would need a map file for each one. For now, let's keep it simple and assume all data in the results can be tied back to a single cloaked file 4) Is the rendered result the same Renaissance analysis plots or a downloadable file (PDF)? Aaron It should be the same as the Renaissance analysis plots
