Use Case Template Guide

User Story Example

Generating letters

A user selects a set of customers to whom
they wish to send letters and a template
that defines the letter format. The Viking
then generates a letter per customer that
is based on filling in the "pluggable"
information for the template with
customer-related information. The user
then previews the result of expanding the
template list for each of the customers.
