Show Project Items in a Diagram
When you have created a Project item (Decision, Event, Effort, Risk, Metric), it is useful to make the record visible on its parent element. You can do this by displaying the record within a 'Project' compartment on the element as it displays in a diagram. Any element that is capable of displaying a compartment, and that has Project items assigned to it, can show the items in a diagram.
Note that:
- An Event records the action taken for the current model element
- A Decision records the choice taken for the current model element
