Images in Scenarios

[Bill7543]

I am looking for a way to be include images/screenshots directly into my scenarios so at document export the image can be found with the scenario step during the reading and look something like the attached image.



Note: I now have a registered copy

That would be very, very helpful. If anyone knows how to do it, please let us know.

Does this help
Include JPG image on diagram

Yep, that helps. The "create a diagram, drag the image into it" strategy was in fact what I was using. But thanks for the heads up.

But the matter of fact is that this strategy gets annoying very fast. Since you can only link to the diagram an not to the boundary object where the image actually is, you have to create one diagram for each image, ending up with tons of diagrams.

Although it is a valid solution, I do not think it is the ideal one.

We have been creating a user interface diagram underneath the use case and creating a screen element for each screen relating to the use case.  You can then take a screen shot of your mockup and use the context menu appearance -> apply image from clipboard to make the screen element show the screenshot.

Thanks Robert, but that is pretty much what skiwi suggested and what I was doing.

It works, but it is cumbersome.

Another option which I use is to create a linked document on the Use Case and then embed the image into the linked document.

When generating RTF, it is a simple matter to output the image after (or before) the scenario text. If generating HTML, clicking the Use Case brings up the attachment.

Plus, you gate a little red A on the Use Case symbol to indicate the presence of the linked document.

Cheers

Thanks, philchudley, I will try that and see how it goes.
