Intermediate Throw Event
A None Intermediate Throw Event (or plain Intermediate Event) marks a process milestone or state change. It has no trigger mechanism and serves primarily for documentation and monitoring purposes.
What is an Intermediate Throw Event?
A None Intermediate Throw Event represents a process milestone without any triggering behavior. When the token reaches this event, it passes through immediately-useful for marking significant process states or checkpoints.
Visual Representation
The event shows a double-line circle that is empty inside (no icon). The double border indicates intermediate positioning; the empty interior shows no specific trigger or action.
Key Characteristics
- No trigger or action: Token passes through immediately
- Milestone marker: Documents significant process states
- Monitoring hook: Provides a point to capture metrics or status
- Visual checkpoint: Helps readers understand process progression
