Tasks

Please use the following tasks that we had developed for GR3 (second iteration) to guide you while exploring LocaShare

Task 1: View Bob's current location and identify the restaurant he visited most frequently last week.

Task 2: Create a new locashare with Bob that allows Bob to see whenever you are in his neighborhood (Boston), but only during evening hours (7pm-9pm).

Task 3: View and edit your information that Bob can view to hide your statistics information.

Shallow Parts of Prototype

- All maps are static but show appropriate locations for the scenario.

- The links from all friends point to a single person called "Bob"

- When Bob creates a LocaShare with Joe, Joe actually would receive a notification and accept it. However, this is not currently implemented and the app shows the state of the system from that point on.

- Since we are asked to go low-fidelity in depth, any changes made via the prototype (edit, delete, create) will not be reflected. We, however, do show the appropriate confirmation dialog boxes to prompt the user to verify those changes before they are made "permanent".

- In the overview screens, clicking any state, city, or location leads to details on Boston shares.
