I am afraid the way that I express myself when reflecting on problems of interpretation and understanding is somewhat different than what I do with the client. Of course, sometimes I just have to fill in for the client. That is just one of the facts of life I need deal with. You can interchange "ephemeral" (my word) for "transient", episodic", "recurring" or "intermittent" according to taste but the idea is the same. The legal "person" endures, and their history is maintained, even though periodically we do not legally represent them. If and when an entity restores the client relationship then the entity nonetheless remains the same and their prior history is continued into the new period of service. The ticket for this item reads: Description Provide an interactive UI to add a client role to an entity and to terminate an existing client role. Roles are conceived as "episodic" in nature so that it should be possible to view the "history" of entity's periods as a client. The feature set for this (so far) is limited to the following: # An Entity is a model of anything that has # separate legal existance and standing for # the purposes of contract law Feature: Identify those entities that are clients In order to identify our clients An accounting user Should be able to assign an active client role to an existing entity To Increase Revenue Scenario: client role link is available from entities page Given I have a user named "auth_user" And the user named "auth_user" authenticates And the user named "auth_user" is authorized to "list" "entities" And I have an entity named "A Future Client" And the entity named "A Future Client" is not a client When they visit the entities page Then they should see an entity named "A Future Client" And the entity named "A Future Client" should have an add client option Hardly controversial stuff so far, I should think. Of course, I have been wrong before... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
