OSID - osid.tracking.rules.QueueEnablerSmartFrontOfficeSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.tracking.rules.QueueEnablerSmartFrontOfficeSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.tracking.rules.TrackingRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.tracking.rules.TrackingRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `QueueEnablerQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `FrontOffice` to create a virtual collection of `QueueEnablers`. The queue enablers may be sequenced using the `QueueEnablerSearchOrder` from this session. This `FrontOffice` has a default query that matches any queue enabler and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `QueueEnablerQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `QueueEnablerQuery`.
