State dialog box

States

A state represents either a period of time during which an object waits for certain events to occur, or a period of time during which an object performs an ongoing activity. States are interconnected by transitions.

The "State" 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".
