Event

An event is a common BPMN process model element that represents something that happens during a business process and is notated with a circle. The type of events are as follows:

* Start
* Intermediate
* NonInterruptingStart
* NonInterruptingIntermediate
* ThrowingIntermediate
* End

The event property of the node allows you to define the type of the event. The default value of the event is start. The following code example illustrates how to create a BPMN event.

BPMN event trigger

Event triggers are notated as icons inside the circle and they represent the specific details of the process. The trigger property of the node allows you to set the type of trigger and by default, it is set as none. The following table illustrates the type of event triggers.
