Creating interaction uses in sequence diagrams

In sequence diagrams, you can create an interaction use by specifying a new unspecified occurrence or by creating a new interaction for visual representation only.
You must have a sequence diagram with multiple lifelines open.
To create an interaction use:
  1. In the Palette, click Interaction Use.
  2. Click inside the interaction frame and, in the window that opens, complete one of the following steps:
    • To create an interaction use with an unspecified interaction, click Unspecified.
    • To create an interaction use with a new interaction, click Create New Interaction.
  3. In the Add Covered Lifelines window, click the lifelines to cover and click OK.
  4. Type a name for the interaction use and press Enter.
Tip: To add an interaction use to a single lifeline, in the Palette, click Interaction Use and, in the interaction frame, click a lifeline; then in the window that opens, click Unspecified or Create New Interaction.
