Adding an interaction operand separator to an interaction operator

Edit online

For certain types of interaction types, you might want to create two subgroups of elements, for example, if you have two paths that are supposed to be carried out in parallel, or you want to define two possible paths and a condition that determines which will be followed.

Procedure

  1. Select the Interaction Operand Separator button on the Diagram Tools.
  2. Click inside the interaction operator where you would like the division to be.

Results

If necessary, more than one separator can be added to a single interaction operator.

Note: Interaction operators (and interaction operand separators) only appear in the diagram itself. They do not appear as independent model elements in the browser, nor do they influence code generation. For this reason, when you display the pop-up menu for an interaction operator, there is an option to Delete From View but no option for removing from the model.
