Search/List ACME Jobs

  1. This use case lets the user search for jobs that are currently on their system.
  2. This use case does not really stand on its own, but is used by other use cases.

Notes

  1. The order of the fields on the search screen, and their order in the search results table, is correct on the protoype, and may not be correct below
  2. Note that this is technically a "sub use case", meaning that it is used by other use cases, such as "Open a Job", and "Delete a Job"
  3. Therefore, per our discussion, I've grayed-out some lines below which technically should not be in this use case

  2. Administrator

Pre-Conditions
