Activity Diagram 

Can a action in Activity Diagram have options such as yes and no and go to the same action.

 

For example

Action will be Display Warning . Under the Action we have Notes: Deleting this will also delete associated records. Do you want to continue?

Yes - Delete Information

No-Delete Information

Yes - Delete Information

No-Delete Information

The  better way to model it is to:

  • have one activity/action which shows what the system does: Display Warning: "Deleting this .... "
  • then show a decision point (the diamond in activity diagram) which would represent the user's action:  "Do you want to continue?" which would have two options (sequence flows) one for "Yes" and one for "No".
  • the "Yes" path would lead to another activity which would be a system action and would be "Delete the associated records."

Recipe Redesign: There Is No Box, Only Possibilities

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
