General Board / Re: How do I create an Activity Parameter?

« on: January 12, 2012, 08:47:44 am »

An Activity Parameter Node applies to the entire activity, not to an action or activity within an activity diagram.

Guess I shouldn't compare this to RSA, but I don't have any other point of reference, so . . . . . . within RSA, an Activity Parameter Node applies to the entire activity diagram, and visually appears as a small box on the edge of the activity diagram (not on the edge of an action or activity within an activity diagram).  The Activity Parameter Node specifies input and/or output parameters for the entire activity diagram, NOT for a specific action or activity within the activity diagram.

Perhaps RSA doesn't have such a concept?

Wish I could send you a print screen so I could show you visually what I'm trying to do.

Roy,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I'm trying to add an Activity Parameter Node.  The Help instruction states:

Right-click on the element and select the Embedded Elements | Add Activity Parameter context menu option.

Right-click on what element, exactly?  I want to add an activity parameter node, which attaches to the entire activity, not to a particular element within the activity diagram.

This is very easy to accomplish in RSA, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in EA.  Thanks again for your help.

FDavid

How do I create an Activity Parameter?

EA Help is not clear, so I'm stuck!  Can anyone give me a step-by-step explanation?

Thank you!!
