Creating a structured activity node
You can create a Structured Activity Node through an Activity Diagram or a Modeler pane.
* 
On an Activity Diagram, when you create an item in or move an item to a Structured Activity Node, that item is scoped to the Structured Activity Node. If an item is scoped to a Structured Activity Node and you move that item to the diagram background or to another Structured Activity Node, the item is rescoped accordingly.
To create a structured activity node through an activity diagram:
1. On the Activity Diagram tab, click the Structured Activity Node button, and then on the Activity Diagram click in free space or within a Structured Activity Node.
2. Type the name of the Structured Activity Node, and then press the Enter key.
To create a structured activity node through a Modeler pane:
1. In a Modeler pane, right-click the Activity that is to own the Structured Activity Node, and select New > Action Node > Structured Activity Node.
2. Type the name of the Structured Activity Node, and then press the Enter key.
