Adding use case steps

A use case describes an interaction between an actor and the system that yields an “observable result of value” to the actor.

A use case step describes a discrete action performed by an actor or by the system being modeled.

Note: You can only add one use case step at a time.

To add a use case step:

1. Select a use case step.
• In text view, place the cursor on a use case step by clicking anywhere on the use case text.
• In workflow view, click a use case step.

2. Click Add Step.

   Choose one of the following options to add a use case step:

   • Click the Add Step button on the ribbon (Use Cases tab, Step group).
   • Click the Add Step option on the context menu when you right-click an existing use case step.

The new step is added directly after the selected step.

Tip:

If you are using text view, you can easily add a new step by pressing the Enter key when your cursor is positioned on an existing use case step.

To add a line break, press Shift+Enter.
