Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the use of UML (Unified Modeling Language) and specifically the representation of use case diagrams. A user expresses concern about stating that a function will only be used in extraordinary situations within their use case diagram. The response critiques this approach, suggesting that it is not an appropriate way to represent functionality, as it introduces conditional logic that complicates the diagram. It is also noted that the role of the Branch Manager may not qualify as an actor in this context, as merely informing an actor does not constitute an interaction with the system. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clarity and proper representation in UML diagrams.

TL;DR
draw use case diagram
this user will only use this function when something extraordinary situation, and that's how I stated it in the use case diagram. Is it a bad method of stating this way?

I do not think that is the right way to represent it.

An "if" == a branch.

I think you can leave off the right branch, since/if nothing happens.

Also, I'm not sure if Branch Manager is an Actor here (i.e. a stick figure). Actors interact with the system. Simply informing an actor is not an interaction.
