Starting out with Sparx EA (Part 3)

So lets take a look at how a default model is constructed.

In the Project Browser, click on the "+" symbol next to each model folder to expand the contents.

Next, lets expand the Business Process Model fully.

Take note that we have some clean-up to do as follows:

1. Actors are located in multiple folders (I can immediately see actors in "Stakeholders" and "Use Case" folders). From a project organization perspective, all actors should only be located in one folder.

So, lets re-name the Use Case Model to Actors (System Users). Two reasons exist for this action:

1. We are not ready for Use Case yet,
2. We need a single model element for all actors.

Note: We can add the Use Case model when we are ready for it.

Right click on the "Use Case Model" and select properties from the menu options. Change the name to "Actors (System Users)". Click "OK".

Your model should look as follows:

Next, expand the Actors model fully.
