Use Case 17: Fine-tuning InterOp with Channels

Persona

A user in a multi-monitor desktop environment with a fairly hectic, time-sensitive and unpredictable working day based on market movement and interactions with clients and colleagues.

User Goal

I want to be able to create "siloed" workflows on my desktop so that I can quickly switch context to serve a client or execute a trade while still keep an eye on the general market.

Preconditions

The end-user's app desktop environment consists of:

• an FDC3 compliant in-house application
• several FDC3-compliant vendor applications

Workflow 1

The user's organisation maintains a coverage list in the in-house application. When selecting a company in there, the user wants a chart and a news component to update in vendor application 1, an options montage to update in vendor application 2.

Workflow 2

In vendor application 1, the user maintains a personal watchlist. When selecting a company in there, the user wants a research portal in vendor application 3 to update as well as a trading screen in vendor application 4.

Workflow 3

In vendor application 2, the user have a tool for ad-hoc company look ups. When selecting a company there, the user wants a chart and a news component in vendor application 1 to update (not the ones from WF 1), a detailed company report in vendor application 2 and a separate trading screen in vendor application 4 (not the one in WF2).
