Creating a Use Case

Use Cases are created in the context of objects. Users with permission to create a specific type of object can create the use cases for those objects.

Before you begin:

View the list of use cases. See Listing Use Cases.

  1. From the page Actions menu or toolbar, click Create New.



  2. Enter these details for the new use case:

    Name. The name of the use case. In general, use cases are named using a short descriptive string.

    Or

    Check Autoname for the system to assign a name automatically to this use case. The name generated is in the form of Use Case-00001, where 00001 is the running number.

    Description. Details that describe the use case.

    Owner. By default, the owner is set as the person who is creating the use case. To assign a different owner, click .

    Notes. Any notes that may help others using this use case.

    Estimated Duration. The approximate number of days required for completing the use case.

    Vault. If you want to use a vault other than the default, click to specify where the object will be stored in the database. This field is displayed only if more than one vault is available to you.

  3. Click Apply to create multiple use cases in the current session. This stores the new details in the database and re-displays the Create New page. The values previously entered are retained for editing.

    Or

    Click Done to create the use case and close the Create page.
