Events

BPMN events are represented in ARIS by the object type Event. Altogether there are sixty-three symbols available in BPMN 2.0. The main event types are:

Only these three events are provided in the Symbols bar in ARIS (see type = None). The remaining symbols are provided as symbols in the ARIS method.
