Save Often Save often, save often, save often PART I CREATING A SEPARATE PACKAGE FOR EACH BUSINESS AREA Introduction This tutorial uses an example of a Car Repair shop.

An empty use case diagram will appear in the main window. In the side window click on the Vehicle Service folder and drag it to the use ca se diagram. Do the same for the Customer Service folder. Your Main use case diagram will now contain two packages. This is a high level r eference it shows all of the business areas that are part of your model.

Create Actors and add them to the use case diagrams Please note that you want actors to be available to all packages so you don t put them into a specific package you just keep them at the Use Case View level.

A list of options will appear. Click on New, then Actor. In the actor name area key in Service Advisor. Double click on the Vehicle Service use case diagram so that the empty diagram a ppears in the main window.
