Capture Area Definition

1. Capture Area Definition use-Case v. 1.0

1.1 Brief Description

With this use case the user can set up multiple area on his source to capture the data. Which is similar to a CRUD system but regarding the capture areas.

2. Flow of Events

2.1 Basic Flow

The flow how to define the capture area is quite simple explained.

1. You click on the button “Add Capture Area”
2. Then a new resizeable overlay appears in the upper left corner of your source.
3. You can move it by click and hold inside the overlay.
4. Resizing is possible too by click and holding the little squares in the corners of the overlay.

2.4 Mock-up

2.4.1 Initial draft

This was the first draft of creating the capture area definition area.

2.4.2 First design iteration

This was our first design iteration. Here we don't have a separate recording view. It's located right under the area definition.

2.4.3 MVP design

We finally settled on a design which is perfect for the MVP. In the preview, you can see a resizeable and draggable rectangle which represents the part where you will capture your defined regex.
