Requirements Document

1. Requirements for adding windows shared drives

1.1 User Characteristics

A typical Slycat user has a scientific background with minimal knowledge of how to use the unix operating system. Slycat users tend to be working within a windows environment and are expect to either be using chrome or Firefox within this windows environment. Due to user's general emersion in the windows environment they are used to using windows shares and network drives to collaborate and store large data sets

1.2 System's Functionality

The Slycat software environment needs to provide users a way of interacting and retrieving users data from a windows network drives. The intentions of this new functionality is to give users a new means of accessing their data via windows network drives for creating Parameter Space models

1.3 User Interfaces

Users will interact with this new functionality by 2 main routes. The first route will be when users are in the Parameter space wizard creating a new model where they will be given the option to get their data from a windows network drive. The other route for the user to interact with windows network drives is when hovering over points in the parameter space model allowing the user to pull media data from the windows network shares.
