Event types for an end node
Use standard BPMN event types to denote that something happens at the end (End node) of a process. The event types for an end node are just visual aids to signify the result of the process; they do not trigger events or perform any functions. See Set the event types.
The following table describes the event types available for an End node and the corresponding BPMN Standard notations.
