Create a Sub System

Once an Application System has been created , a Sub System can be created as well.

You must have a Function Point Modeler diagram open. By default, the Palette view opens when you are editing Function Point Modeler Diagram file in Function Point Modeler.

To create a Sub System:

1. Click FPM Notes drawer in the Palette view. The drawer expands and displays a list of items (Applicationsystem, Subsyste, TransactionalFunction, DataFunction and Actor) that you can drag and drop onto the Function Point Modeler Diagram.
2. Drag an SubSystem item from a drawer to the desired place in the Application System( an empty space inside the Application System) in Function Point Modeler diagram. (You can also click a location on the page, and then click on an item in the drawer.) Make sure that you drag and drop appropriate items onto a diagram. For example, you can not drop Subsystem item onto outside of an Application System.
3. A new Sub System is created and displayed in the diagram with the name Sub system
4. Once the Sub System appears on the diagram, you can usually set some attributes for it in the Properties view or you can click the attribut of the Sub System to set its value. Type a desired name for your Sub System and press Enter.
