Business Analysis Outline
This has simple, mostly table-style formatting for the EA elements most commonly used in business analysis. It only lists use cases, rather than printing all their details (see Business Analysis - Detailed below)

Prints the Alias, Name and Priority
|
|

 |

|
|
Use Case
|
 |
Table
|
Print the Use Case reference (Alias), Name, Description and a link to the actors who use the use case.
Using EA to hold details of which Actors use which use cases means the use case text doesn't need to hold a list of actors which is manually maintained.

Inline
|
For this example, business processes are given this stereotype, so we can control the formatting. They are formatted as Inline, because we've chosen to print their diagram, and sub-Activities
|
|
Activity
|
 |
Table
|
The lowest-level parts of the business process. OK to print these in a table, as they have no sub-elements.
We also print the previous and next activities, to show how related element details can be used.

 |
Table
|
This is what EA calls the swimlanes which are used in business process diagrams. Renamed to 'Team' in this example.
|
|
Decision
|
 |
Table
|
Shows where decisions are being made in the business process flow. Quite a low level of detail. Also shows previous & next activities
