<p>Hi Mark,</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I haven't seen the example but I have come across both representations - external as well as internal.</p>
<p>Example, Andy's Autos used in the System Documentation Methods book ( Judy Adams ) favoured by many of our colleagues over the years, used a mechanic in the worskshop as an external entity because he was filling in job cards and handing it in for finalising
processing and billing.</p>
<p>In the same case study Elaine the office manager is part of the system and not shown.</p>
<p>Happy to send the wording if you like.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Once again, I haven't seen the wording of the case study you have mentioned.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Speak soon </p>

The suggested solution to VITTA 2012 Exam 1, C3 started me thinking. It has employees shown as external entities providing data flows to the VoxSearch system.<br>
I would have hidden the employee processes within the system since they would be part of the system.<br>
<br>
Would you guys show employees as external entities in a context diagram?<br>
