5. AD – Decisions & Events
A decision defines a specific location on an activity diagram or statechart diagram where the workflow may branch
1 to n branches
1 to 2 branches normal
Event defines a trigger of a state transition (1 to n)
A decision of ???
Type of event

6. AD – Decisions & Events

7. AD - Events
Add event
Right click transition and select Properties Window
Select UML tab

8. AD - Events
Enter Name

9. AD – Activity Actions
An action defines a step within an Activity or State
Add Actions
Right click activity
Select Add UML
Select Action

10. AD – Activity Actions Specify action Repeat as Necessary Do Action
On Entry
On Exit
Repeat as Necessary

11. AD – Activity Actions

12. AD – Activity Actions Select activity
Right Click and Select Property Window
Select Collections

14. AD – Activity Actions

15. AD – Activity Stereotype
A stereotype defines a sub-classification of a model element
Add Stereotype
Right click activity
Right Click and Select Property Window
Select stereotype from drop down or add new type

16. AD – Activity Stereotype
Change Stereotype Display
Select Format, Stereotype & Visibility Style
None
Label
Icon
Decoration

17. AD – Details

18. AD – Guard Conditions
A Guard Condition defines a condition which, when true, allows the transition to occur. As long as the condition remains false, the transition will not occur.
Add guard condition
Right click transition and select Properties Window
Select Detail tab.
Enter Guard Condition
Click OK

19. AD – Conditional Threads
A conditional thread defines a branch of workflow which only occurs when a set of conditions exist

20. AD – Conditional Threads and Guard Conditions

21. AD – Conditional Threads and Guard Conditions

22. AD – Nested Activities
Nested Activities are a way to visually present the equivalent of a sub- diagram of activities
Enclosing activity is referred to as a superactivity
Nested activities are called subactivities

23. AD – Nested Activities

24. AD – Transitions to Self
Transitions to Self are a looping mechanism
Drag and Drop Transition to Self tool onto activity
Add guard condition to new transition
Add guard condition to activity completion transition

25. AD – Transitions to Self

26. AD – Decision Guard Conditions
Decision Guards Conditions control the flow of a decision via the transitions from the decision
Boolean logic of True

A state defines a condition of an object in which it performs some activity or waits for an event
Add a state

59. Advanced AD – Object Flows
Object flows are used to show how business entities are created and used in a workflow
The object flow state represents the state of an object of a class as it participates in the workflow
The same object can be manipulated by a number of successive activities that change the object's state.
The same object can then be displayed multiple times in an activity graph, with each appearance representing a different state during its life.

60. Advanced AD – Object Flows
