Inserting Actor

You can insert an actor in a use case diagram view.

Before you begin:
  • Under the Functional node, create a function reference.
  • Under the function reference, create a use case diagram view and activate it.
  • Under the function reference, create another function reference.
Note: The use case can also be created under a logical reference. In this case, all the actors must be logical reference.
