Final State

PreviousInitial StateNextTransition

Last updated 7 months ago

A Final State in a State Machine Diagram represents the end point of the state machine or a substate machine. It indicates that the execution of the state machine or a particular flow within it has completed. A state machine can have multiple Final States, each representing a different termination point.

With Final States in Modeldraw's State Machine Diagram, you can:

  • Define the termination points of your state machine

  • Indicate the completion of a process or workflow

  • Represent different possible outcomes of your state machine

  • Clearly show where the flow of control ends in your model

  • Improve the readability of your diagram by explicitly marking end points

Understanding Final State

A Final State in Modeldraw's State Machine Diagram tool is represented by a circle surrounding a smaller filled circle, resembling a bullseye. Key points to understand about Final States include:

  • It marks the end of the state machine's execution or a specific flow within it.

  • Unlike Initial States, a state machine can have multiple Final States.

  • A Final State can have one or more incoming transitions but no outgoing transitions.

  • Final States don't perform any actions themselves.

Remember that you can have multiple Final States in your diagram if your state machine has different possible termination points or outcomes.
