a specified event, not a timeout like AcceptTimeEvent,
and the event is specified in the Features dialog of
the Accept Event Action.

diagram.
To add the event to the diagram, click on the button, and drag and drop on the activity diagram where you
want to be created. to send the action, click on Send Action button, and drag and drop it on the action to send.

Event to send
Event target
Values for event arguments
Note:Accept Event Actions show that
the process is waiting for an event to occur. The constraints for
both, Accept Event Action and Send
Action, are that they must refer to a valid event. If
the event is not valid, an error appears in the Check view.
Note: In the image above, the solid green line represents
the data flow and the dash line represents the control flow. The data
flow passes data. The control flow passes a control token.
The
data flow must be connected to an action pin, or to an activity parameter,
or to an object node, so there is a data definition of the data flow.
The direction of the action pin, or the activity parameter, must be
consistent with the direction of the flow.
