Converting an atomic activity to a decomposed activity

Chapter 5 Building Dynamic Diagrams

Converting an atomic activity to a decomposed activity

You can convert an atomic activity to a decomposed activity in any of the following ways:

Press CTRL and double-click the activity symbol (this will open the sub-activity directly)
Open the property sheet of the activity and, on the General tab, select the Decomposed Activity radio button
Right-click the activity and select Decompose Activity from the contextual menu

When you create a decomposed activity, a sub-activity diagram is added below its entry in the browser:

The decomposed activity will be empty at first. Any objects that you create in the sub-activity diagram are listed in the Browser under the decomposed activity.
