Start Events Properties

Start Event​

Start Event

Considerations​

  • All Process flows should have a beginning, regardless of whether they are contained in a Process or a Sub-Process.
  • Only one sequence flow can exit this shape. A Start Event cannot have an incoming sequence flow.

Message Start Event

Considerations​

  • Message Start is always a catch shape. That is, in order to use a Message Start, there has to be a corresponding Message Event that throws the message.
  • The shape in the Process that throws the message should be configured to identify the target Process and the target Element.
  • The Intermediate Event that throws the message and the Message Start that catches the message should have the exact same name.

Signal Start Event

Considerations​

  • Signal Start is always a catch shape. That is, in order to use a Signal Start, there has to be a Signal Event that throws the message.
  • A signal is sent to any Process that can receive it, but it does not have a specific Source and Target. Any catch shape with the same name will be triggered.
  • The throw Signal Intermediate Event that broadcasts the signal and the Signal Start that catches it should have the exact same name.
