Use Case Report

[rowmarcus]

Hi,

Been using EA for a little while to model our project, though in a somewhat non-standard way, with use cases sat inside use cases.  Now when try to generate a report to act as the full list of use cases, all we get in the report is the top level use cases, none of those sat within the top level use cases are retrieved.  Can anyone suggest a way to generate a report of ALL use cases without reorganising the whole project?

many thanks,
Marcus

Here's a view of what I mean:



Any one any ideas please?

I have no idea how to recursively export the Use Cases. However, I'd like to point out that this is a strange use of UCs. I'd encourage you to use packages instead. That would a) solve your problem and b) remove the strangeness from your model.

Hi rowmarcus,

I've been embeding use cases in a similar way, and it works fine in generating the documentation. To generate the RTF with all the use cases, here is what works for me:

1. Click on the package you want to generate, and press F8.
2. Click on Switch Generator.
3. Fill-in and choose whatever info or selections you prefer, but make sure to select "Process all children" (under Options, in the lower right hand side of the dialog).
Then, just click on "Create".

By the way, embeding sequence diagrams or state machines under their respective use cases makes the use case scenarios very clear and understandable.

Hope this helps,

Jaime

With the new generator, you should try to select the child element in the Element section. If you do not insert anything between

Code: [Select]

child element>
<child element

this should go recursively throughthe use cases.
