This is the home screen of the application. Displayed is a list of the open washers and dryers. There is one open washer (Washer 2) that is idle, meaning that the machine is inactive, but still contains the clothing of a previous user. There are currently no open dryers, but it is displayed that the next one will be open in 12 minutes. If Ginny wants to listen on this dryer, she can click the "Notify me!" button, and will receive a text message in 12 minutes, when the dryer has stopped running. Ginny also has the option of viewing the laundry map, which is a layout of all the laundry machines in her facility, color-coded by availability (this is not a feature that we have detailed in this scenario).
If Ginny decides she wants to use Washer 2, she can click on the down arrow to the right of it for more options and details.
When Ginny clicks on the down arrow, the box expands and shows several options. Firstly, it shows that some laundry care instructions were left by the previous user. Ginny clicks on the note icon to find out what they are.
The previous user wants Ginny to use laundry sheets when drying his/her clothing. Ginny is confused, because there are two different boxes of laundry sheets in the facility.
Ginny therefore sends an anonymous message to the previous user, asking whether she should use the blue box of laundry sheets or the pink one.
Ginny receives a response from the user of Washer 2, explaining that he/she wants the blue dryer sheets. Ginny has the option of messaging the user again, but since she received a satisfactory answer to her question, she closes the notification. Ginny is now able to correctly run the user's laundry.
Ginny is back at the home screen, with the expanded options for Washer 2. Now that the washer is empty, Ginny will use it to wash her own robes. However, when they're finished washing, she wants to make sure they are dried on the delicate cycle. Therefore, she clicks on the next icon to leave her own note.
She specifies that she wants her robes dried on the delicate cycle and clicks the "Leave Note" button.
Once again, Ginny returns to the home screen. If she wants to know when her robes are done washing, she can click on the "Notify me!" button and the system will send her a text message when the next washing cycle has finished.
The app gives a confirmation that she will receive a notification when her clothes are done washing.
Ginny has indicated (through a notification request) that she is waiting on Washer 2. Now, when she returns to the home screen, she can view a count-down at the top that tells her how many minutes there are left until her robes are done washing.
