Actor: Human Agent

Assumptions:

Main Flow

This use case starts when including by an including use case. The system presents a Edit Node Visualizer Panel that displays the set of properties defined for the Staged Holon's type. Each property is rendered as a read-only label and an editable value. The panel also offers Cancel and Submit actions.
The agent clicks in the editable value area of a property and enters a value. The agent signals the end of this edit-property action by either clicking in a different property's editable value, selecting the Cancel or Submit actions, or simply clicking somewhere else in the panel.
The system response depends on the how the agent terminated the edit-property action. If by selecting Cancel, follow Alternate Flow: Cancel. Otherwise the system records the edit-property action. Then, if the agent terminated the edit-property action:
- by clicking elsewhere in the panel, resume this flow at Step 1.
- by clicking in another property's editable area, resume this flow at Step 2.
- by selecting Submit, resume the including use case at its Submit Changes step.
