Categories

Overview

A Category in the Data Stream Designer, otherwise known as a Use Case Group, can be defined as a container for use cases. Categories are accessible from the landing page in the application. Clicking on the name or icon of a category will display the use cases associated with that category.

An indication of the state of the use cases contained within a category will be shown at the bottom of each tile – if a category contains any use cases. The amounts indicated are as follows (please see the image below):

1. Amount of draft use cases.
2. Amount of published use cases.
3. Total amount of use cases.
