Each branch will have staff who will be assisting their customers with their bookings both in the branch as well as over the phone. Each branch will have at least a Receptionist, Manager and an Assistant. The company has a range of properties across all the branches, therefore, it is vital that the system keeps a record of all the Property details that they manage in each branch and the details of the person who is responsible for checking the property before handing it over to the customer. A customer shall make single or multiple bookings according to their requirements that may include the type of property and the rental duration. The company would also like to give flexibility to its customers to make and modify their bookings by using the online portal but the cancellations can only be done by either the manager or the receptionist by calling the branch. Once the booking has been made the customer must pay the full rental amount before the property can be rented and the invoice can be issued. Payment can be made using cash or card. In addition to the rental costs, the customers also have the choice of adding additional protection insurance in case of an accidental damage.

| Deliverable – ERD | Grade Band |
| There is a clear indication in the answer that students have fully understood the problem domain and spent a considerable amount of time iterating over different solutions. All relevant entities, data attribute, and relationships have been identified and many-to-many relationships have been eliminated. Documentation is to a professional standard along with a complete list of references. | 70-100% Excellent |
| Most of the relevant entities, data attributes and relationships have been identified. Many-to-many relationships have been eliminated. Any assumptions have been justified in the context of the case study and problem domain. Documentation is of a high standard and there is an evidence of iteration and adequate referencing. | 60-69% Good to Very Good |
| About half of the relevant entities, data attributes and relationships have been identified. The standard of documentation is satisfactory. Evidence of iteration will be patchy. | 50-59% Satisfactory to Good |
| Very little or no iteration. Less than half of the relevant entities, data attributes and relationships have been identified. The standard of documentation is generally weak. | 40-49% Pass standard to satisfactory |
