State

A state is a snapshot of the process. A state has two properties.

  • Name: is the name of the state. It is used to distiguish states. Two states having the same name are actually a state representing the same snapshot of the process.
  • Initial: is a boolean property of state. A state is initial then it is the starting point of the process.

There are some actions which can do with State

  • Create State: Select the Add New State function and click anywhere in the canvas to create new state. Another way is to create new state from the canvas's context menu by making right click on the canvas and selecting New State.
  • Delete State: There are also two ways to delete a state. First is select the state then select the Delete function. Second is delete the state from that state's context menu.
  • Move State: Select the state then drag the mouse to the place you want. Then the state will be moved to that position.
  • Edit Name: Double click on the state to open the State Editing Form dialog. There you can edit the state's name.


  • Set Inital: Select the initial state then set that property from the state's context menu.
