Activity Diagram FAQ

Common questions about creating activity diagrams with PlantUML

1

What is an activity diagram?

An activity diagram is a UML diagram that shows the flow of activities and actions in a system or process. It's used for workflow modeling, business process analysis, and system behavior documentation.

2

How do I define start and end points in PlantUML activity diagrams?

Use 'start' and 'stop' keywords to define the beginning and end of your activity flow. You can also use 'end' for alternative ending points.

3

How do I create decision points and branches?

Use 'if', 'then', 'else', and 'endif' keywords to create decision points. You can also use 'switch' and 'case' for multiple branch decisions.

4

How do I show parallel activities?

Use 'fork' and 'fork again' to split into parallel flows, and 'end fork' to synchronize them back together. This shows concurrent execution paths.

5

How do I create swimlanes for different actors?

Use '|Actor Name|' syntax to define swimlanes. Place activities under the appropriate swimlane to show responsibility and ownership.

6
