Use case document generation
« on: April 16, 2013, 06:23:55 pm »
Hi,

I want to create a Word document for each use case.
It seems unable to add the entry point and the join for the alternative scenario's. It is impossible to know how the scenario's are linked to each other (except for the activity diagram).  :-[
Is there a way to add entry point and join in the documentation template?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Marianne

Hi,

thanks for the quick answer.  :)

It is helpful but now the best I can generate is the following:

Basic Path: Basic Path
1. Start aanvraag contract
2. Vul klant in
3. Vul product in
4. Vul bijkomende informatie in  
5. Kies om het contract te bewaren
6. Contract wordt bewaard
[highlight]6a  Exception : Nieuwe contract aanvraag kan niet bewaard worden and then go toEnd [/highlight]
7. Succesboodschap wordt gegeven

Exception: Nieuwe contract aanvraag kan niet bewaard worden
1. Toon foutboodschap
2. Stuur email naar gebruiker en helpdesk met foutboodschap en gegevens van de nieuwe contract aanvraag


What I would like to do is:


Basic Path: Basic Path
1. Start aanvraag contract
2. Vul klant in
3. Vul product in
4. Vul bijkomende informatie in  
5. Kies om het contract te bewaren
6. Contract wordt bewaard
7. Succesboodschap wordt gegeven

Exception: Nieuwe contract aanvraag kan niet bewaard worden
[highlight]6.a.1[/highlight] Toon foutboodschap
[highlight]6.a.2.[/highlight] Stuur email naar gebruiker en helpdesk met foutboodschap en gegevens van de nieuwe contract aanvraag

Is that possible?

Kind Regards,

Marianne

I understand,

no, this is not possible. I have encountered this in the past. I now produce use case reports as shown in your first example and include the activity diagram.

Not ideal I know but my stakeholders are happy with it

Hi
I achieved this (or something similar) by creating an adding that formats the notes field of a use case from the structured scenario and the the notes are used in the rtf template
Using V12

The standard eaDocX template does this automatically. And it even adds hyperlinks from the basic path to the alternates/exceptions, and return links back to the main path.
Just right-click on the Package, and select  eaDocX | Quick Document.
