Use Case: Set Object Creation Workflows

Overview

This document describes the workflows for creating Set Objects - logical groupings of related physical objects (e.g., a pair of gloves, a tool kit, a dinnerware set) - including the decision points, component creation, and tag migration logic.

User Story

As a user, I want to create objects as sets when appropriate so that I can manage related items as a single unit while maintaining individual component tracking.

Actors

  • User: Person creating objects that form a logical set
  • System: Plings application with set management
  • Components: Individual objects that belong to the set

Preconditions

  • User understands the concept of Set Objects
  • Object being created has multiple related components
  • User has appropriate permissions for set creation

Basic Flow

1. Initial Object Creation

2. Set Decision Point

3. Set Mode Activation

4. Component Definition

5. Tag Migration

6. Set Finalization

Alternative Flows

A1: Convert Existing Object to Set

A2: Add Components Later

A3: Pre-defined Set Templates

Set Creation Patterns

Pattern 1: Paired Items

Pattern 2: Tool Collections

Pattern 3: Nested Sets
