GN 809 Import Seed Attributes QUOTE v2 0 ns approved 07 05 2025
The document is a version‑2.0 change‑request (GN‑809) prepared by Storyboard Multimedia for the GRDC National Variety Trials (NVT) project. Its purpose is to add a new “Cultivar Seed Attributes” import capability to the existing Variety Information template. The change introduces a dedicated tab in the import template, a new API, and menu items that allow advanced breeder users to upload pre‑commercial seed‑attribute data and system‑admin users to upload data for all varieties. The request details the short and long description of the change, business justification (reducing manual entry and errors), deliverables (new template tab, import access), benefits, risks (none identified), business process impacts, detailed template field layout, wireframe mock‑ups, business rules governing data entry, impacts on test cases and user guides, a resource‑hour quote (172 hours across development, QA, testing, and documentation), and the approval workflow (approved by GRDC on 7 May 2025).
