Use Case Detail Page
When a use case has been selected, you are first taken to the Use Case Detail page. Here, you can not only view the details of the use case, but also edit them if necessary. The status can also be changed here according to the current use case status.The status always refers to the corresponding use case and controls what actions and operations are available.
Use Case Status Lifecycle
Understanding the different statuses a use case can have is crucial for proper management:
- Draft
- Approval
- Active
- Inactive
- Retired
Draft Status
