Hello - I'm a new EA user and am struggling setting up a Use Case. I have setup my Actors, Interfaces and Primary Use Cases, but somehow the relationships are not showing up on the diagram. Meaning all actors associated with a particular task are not on the diaghram.
In addition, I setup a System Admin Primary Use Case and when I view the diagram there are only 2 out of 7 main actors shown, but the Actors are present in the Use Case Package.
Finally, how do I save the Requirements description once entered. Within the Requirements tab, I type in my description, click Apply, Okay, and then click Save the Current Diagram Icon, but it's not saving when I go back and check.
Any advise I'd greatly appreciate.

Bonita,
What do you mean by "actors association with a particular task"?
Are you expecting that EA puts the actors on a diagram automatically? AFAIK you have to put the actors you want to show on the diagram yourself.
Everything in EA is saved immediately when you press save/ok/apply button. The "Save Current Diagram" button does exactly what it says. It saves the (layout of) the diagram, nothing else.

Bonita,
The EAExample.eap should have an example to get you started.
If you need more details on requirement management there are some demos and manuals on the same.
