• Activity (Operational) elements can be invoked by a Sequential State (Operational): right-click the Sequential State (Operational), point to Links, and then click Do Operational Activity.
• State Description (Operational) elements can be invoked by a Sequential State (Operational): right-click the Sequential State (Operational), point to Links, and then click Do Operational State Description.
• Standard Activity (Operational) elements can be invoked by a Sequential State (Operational): right-click the Sequential State (Operational), point to Links, and then click Do Standard Operational Activity.
