The Chart

The chart itself is a grid of cells upon which elements are placed. The chart has some configuration that can determine how and when the chart is started up, as well as opportunities to respond to chart lifecycle events with scripting, such as onStart, onStop, onCancel, and onAbort, see Chart Lifecycle for details.

Steps

Steps are the parts of the chart that do useful work. Steps are represented as a rectangle that occupies a one-cell region of the chart, except for the begin and end steps, which are triangles. Steps might run scripts, or execute other charts.

There are four types of steps:

• Begin Step

• End Step

• Action Step

• Enclosing Step
