Name  
Type 
Description  
State  
node  
 
Entry point  
node  
Execution of the state starts at this point. It is possible to create several entry points for one state, that makes sense if there are substates.  
Exit point  
node  
Execution of the state finishes at this point. It is possible to create several exit points for one state, that makes sense if there are substates.  
Initial  
node  
 
Final  
node  
 
Terminate  
node  
 
Shallow history  
node  
 
Deep history  
node  
 
Region  
node  
Use regions inside the states to group the substates. The regions may have different visibility settings and history elements. Each state has one region immediately after creation (though it can be deleted.)
In the regions, you can create all the elements that are available for the State Machine diagram.
