Object: Events

Events are states relevant to a process flow and are used to indicate how a sequence flow is triggered, what significant events happen as it progresses (e.g., occurred or self-triggered events), and how the process ends.

Event categories

These blank events are available directly in the Process Designer toolbar. If required, they can be further specified using the event types below.

Start event	Intermediate event	End event	Timer Event
Indicates the beginning of a process flow.	Indicates events that occur during the process flow (between start and end).	Indicates the end of a process flow.	Indicates cyclically occurring events, points in time, time spans or timeouts

The formatting options for events correspond to the general options for all objects.
