Quick Notes
« on: October 17, 2012, 10:56:22 am »
Quick Notes or Quick Descriptions.
 A useful option would be to create Quick elements of text in notes or descriptions of requirements or restrictions, this to create predefined "text to corp level" that analysts can be reused, or use text that repeats itself continuously and that can be reused.
Example:
This Case Use represents... <XXX> and will show the <YYY> info from another place... bla bla bla.
So the analist only fill the fields and vuala! Fast Work.

Try this...

Create a package in your model and call it something like "My Templates". Create a diagram in the package and create a Use Case element on the diagram. Add some text to the notes compartment of the Use Case. Save the diagram. Then go Settings > Project Template Package (name of command may vary depending on your version of EA) and select the package "My Templates". Finally, go to any other diagram in your model and create a Use Case - it will have your template text in its notes compartment.
