Event Nodes can be added to your process maps, making it easier to model triggers, messages, and conditions. Use event nodes to show when and how processes start, wait, or end, giving your processes more precision and clarity.
Event can be managed from the event types summary screen.
To add an event, a user must be a stakeholder or an administrator. On the map, events are added and edited similarly to other nodes.
