Create new state machine
If new artifacts have been defined in a project that are to go through a specific workflow, you must create a new state machine. This defines which states the artifact can assume and how transitions between states take place – including conditions and actions.
Create state machine
- Open the Settings window via the vertical function bar and go to the State Machines package.
- From the context menu, select the command Create Diagram → State Machine.
- Name the state machine after the artifact.
- Switch to the Stereotypes tab, and select the stereotype to which the machine should apply.
- Click OK.
- In the next step, create state transitions and define conditions and actions.
