Use case and sequence diagram using tables
« on: August 08, 2019, 05:29:39 pm »
Hello forum, first post here!

Two months ago I had a crash-course of EA14 and now I'm trying to use it to write a design document.

I need to document some use cases with sequence diagrams and in the course I saw a way to do it, creating a Use Case and then right-clicking on it, Add, Interaction, With Sequence diagrams.

Then if I remember correctly, there are two ways to do it, one is directly adding elements to the diagram but there was a newer, nicer way to do it with a table, where you can add the interactions there and the sequence diagram was filled automatically. It seemed a better way to do amendments or creating alternative paths. I think you could create an alternative path from a step and then join it to the main path, and so on.

However, I can't find now how to view and add this step table. I have added the use case using the wizard and it looks like the one in the course, but how can I get the table where I can write down the steps?

Thank you.

Not sure, but open the use case properties and click the Scenarios to the left which allows to edit the scenario steps.

Yes, that is! Thanks, I could not find that window. From there I managed to make simple activity and interaction diagrams writing down the steps and defining the actors/modules. Not the most intuitive way but I think it's better to make modifications later.
