Use Case Report Template
Report Wizard provides a Use Case description document template that is designed to capture all Use Case-related artifacts, e.g. Use Cases, actors, Use Case descriptions, in a report. It is used to describe systems functionality and actors in simple format. This template includes all of the Use Case diagram-related keywords. When you select the highest level of the packages (in MagicDraw, Model is the highest level of the packages) as the scope of the report, only Use Case diagrams and their related elements will be added to the document.
