Activity Diagram

Activity Diagram is typically used for modeling the logic captured in a specific use case in a use case diagram. Activity diagram can also be used to model a specific Actor's workflow within the entire system. Activity diagram can also be used independent of use cases for other purposes such as to model business process of a system, to model detailed logic of business rules etc. Activity diagram shows all potential sequence flows in an activity.

Unlike Use case diagram, the Activity diagram has no specification or template explicitly for documentation purposes. As such, there is no need for documenting the Activity diagrams beyond what is done in the diagram itself. However, most UML tools provide in-built documentation capturing and printing capabilities for the Activity diagram and its elements. Use this facility to document the activity diagram, if needed.
