Activity diagrams

Activity diagrams graphically illustrate activity graphs, which show a procedure or a workflow. An activity graph is a special instance of a state machine in which all or most of the states are activity states or action states, and in which all or most of the transitions are triggered by completion of activity in the source states.

The main elements of activity diagrams are action states, sub activity states, object flow states and partitions.

An activity diagram is created in an activity graph.

The "Activity diagram" dialog box contains four tabs - "Properties", "Notes", "Tagged values" and "Stereotypes". For information on these standard dialog box tabs, please see "Standard dialog box tabs".
