Events with Escalation event definition

Start event

If an escalation reaches a start event with the event definition Escalation in an event subprocess, the subprocess is triggered.

Intermediate event

In a process, an intermediate event with the event definition Escalation triggers an escalation when a process folder arrives.

An intermediate event with the event definition Escalation modeled at the border of an activity catches an escalation within the activity. If the event is an occurrence copy of one or multiple throw events, only the escalations of the throw events are caught. If an escalation was caught, the process continues through the outgoing sequence flow of the event.

End event

If an end event with the event definition Escalation is activated, an escalation is created. The escalation is caught by a matching intermediate event with the event definition Escalation at the border of the next superior activity, or by an event subprocess with a matching start event.
