Stage

A stage is used to represent a phase of the case. Every plan item supported in a case, or a case plan item is also supported in a stage.
Communication between two stages is handled through criterions which are described later in the documentation.
To start a stage, multiple options are available:
-
If an entry criterion attached to the stage’s shape is fulfilled. To exit from a stage, an exit criterion is also fulfilled.
-
A stage can be automatically created if no sentries are set, and it is not marked as manually activated
-
A stage can be automatically created if set with auto-complete attribute

Some attributes can be set:
-
Required: The stage must be completed for its containing plan item to be completed
-
Manual activation: Once enabled, the stage is waiting for a manual activation to become activated, instead of becoming automatically activated as soon as it is enabled
-
Repeat: A stage set to be repeatable can have multiple instances created
-
Auto complete: The stage is automatically completed when all its required plan items are completed
