Event Property Reference
Tab Property Description
General Label Label for the event that will be displayed on the diagram.
  Trigger Type (for Start or Intermediate events) or Result Type (for End events) You specify the trigger for a Start or Intermediate event and the result for an End event. The properties displayed on this page depend on the Trigger Type or Result Type you have selected. For more information about the types of events, see Events .
  Catch Action (for catch signal intermediate events only) Select either Cancel task when signal caught or Continue task when signal caught. When you select the latter, you can select between the following Reschedule Task Timer Events:
  • None No timer events are rescheduled when signal arrives.
  • All All timer events attached to same task are rescheduled when signal arrives.
  • Deadline The timer event set as the activity deadline; note this is evaluated at runtime rather that statically when this option is selected (so that if the deadline timer event is changed, this still works).
  • Select... One or more timer events can be manually selected.
