Locate the Occurrence of Glossary Term in Project

1. Download Applying university.vpp from this tutorial in advance.
2. Open the project with VP-UML.
   
3. Enter documentation for each use case, in which, all use case share the same term. For example, click Lodge application form use case and enter documentation in Documentation pane.
   
   Continue to enter documentation for Pay tuition fee use case and Receive CoE use case with the same term -- tuition fee.
4. Next, highlight a term for glossary. In this tutorial, highlight tuition fee with the mouse and right click on it to select Add "tuition fee" to Glossary from the pop-up menu.
   
5. Subsequently, the Glossary Grid will pop up. The term tuition fee is shown in the grid.
   
6. Assume you want to modify the meaning of the term, you may wonder how can you know which models will be affected. In VP-UML, you can find out this by creating analysis diagram on the glossary term. Right click on tuition fee and select Analysis... from the pop-up menu.
   
7. In the pop-up Analysis dialog box, Create new diagram will be selected and new diagram name will be filled by default. Click OK button to proceed.
   
8. Analysis Diagram is created as shown below:
   
   The oval node at the center of analysis diagram indicates the term you have chosen for analyzing, the connectors branching out are the relationships with the analyzing term and the nodes at the opposite end of connectors are the related elements. You can see a tag (e.g. <<Model>>), which indicates the type of that related element and the name of related element is placed under the tag inside the node. By reading the analysis diagram, you can identify the relationship of a model element and discover all model elements which share the same term.
9. Select a model to open its view in the original diagram. For example, move the mouse pointer over Receive CoE model and click its resource icon Open View. As a result, it jumps to the original diagram.
