Specifying entry/exit actions for a state

Entry and exit actions are executed upon entering or leaving a state, respectively. You can create entry and exit actions in Together state diagrams as stereotyped internal transitions. Use either method that follows to specify entry/exit actions for a state.

Using the in-place editor:

1. Create an internal transition in the desired state.




2. Double-click the internal transition to enable in-place editing.




3. Rename using the following syntax: stereotype/actionName[argument]

   
   

   Example: exit/setState(idle)

Using the Properties view:

1. Right click on the internal transition.




2. From the context menu, select Properties.




3. Set the event name, event arguments, and action expression properties in the Properties view.
