Diagram Elements
For information about showing compartments on diagram symbols, setting up default view options and adding existing elements to the diagram, see the following topics:
For information about the creation and appearance of elements that can be shown on all Product diagrams (Representation, Definition, Information, Metadata, Overlap and Same As elements), see
Notation of Elements that Appear on All Product diagrams.
In addition to the standard UML items that can appear on a State Diagram (Entry State, Exit State, Fork State, History State, Initial State, Join State, Junction State and Transition items), the following UPDM elements can appear on an SOV-4b Service State Model. For information about the preceding UML items, see the main Modeler Help.

• Right-click the calling State to call an existing Operation (Service).
To remove a Do Operation (Service) call: Open the Property Pages of the calling State, click the Items tab, from the Show Associated list select Do Activities, select the Do Operation (Service) call that you want to remove, and then click Unlink.
To create a Sequential State (Service): click the Sequential State (Service) toolbar button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (Service) on the diagram.
You can create Do Activity (Service), Do Operation (Service) and Do State Description (Service) calls on a Sequential State (Service).
To create a Do State Description (Service): call: click the Do State Description (Service): toolbar button, and then click or right-click the calling State, which can be an Atomic State (Service), Concurrent State (Service) or Sequential State (Service):
• Click the calling State to create and call a new State Description (Service):.
• Right-click the calling State to call an existing State Description (Service):.
To remove a Do State Description (Service): call: Open the Property Pages of the calling State, click the Items tab, from the Show Associated list select Do Activities, select the Do State Description (Service): call that you want to remove, and then click Unlink.
• Click the Submachine State (Service) toolbar button, and then click in free space or within a Sequential State (Service) on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the State Description (Service) element that is the submachine of the Submachine State (Service).
• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the State Description (Service) element that you want to use as the submachine of the Submachine State (Service), and then drag that State Description (Service) to free space on the diagram.
