Events that have an incoming or outgoing connection of the Message flow type are considered to be events of the Message type. Events of the Message type have special symbols:
Symbol |
Name |
---|---|
|
Message (start event) |
|
Message (intermediate event) |
|
Message (end event) |
The symbols for objects that do not have any particular semantics (None event type) are automatically adjusted depending on whether a connection of the Message flow type is added or removed.
The graphic shows how the symbols change if you add a connection of the Message flow type.
The following graphic shows how the symbol changes if you place an element of the Compensation (intermediate event) type on an activity and draw a connection to another activity.
