Adding an actor artifact

An actor can be any person, role, organization, application, system, and so on, that interacts with the system being modeled.

To add an actor artifact:

  1. Click the New button on the ribbon (Home tab, Artifacts group).
  2. Select Child Artifact.
  3. Click the actor icon .

After you have added a new actor artifact, you may want to set actor inheritance or set a custom image for the actor. You may also want to associate the actor with a use case step.
