Managing Transitions

The Transitions Manager gives you a centralized view of every transition in the strategy, including global event handlers.

Opening the manager​

  1. Open SMITH.
  2. Open the Strategy Toolbar.
  3. Select Manage Transitions.

Creating a new transition​

Click New Transition in the manager header.

The create flow asks for the source state first, then opens the full transition editor so you can configure the target state, trigger, guards, and actions.

What each transition shows​

Each transition row shows:

  • source state
  • target state
  • trigger type
  • guard count
  • action count

Sorting and grouping​

Use the sort toggle to reorganize the list by:

  • category
  • source state
  • target state
  • stream
  • A-Z

Replace source​

Use Replace Source to update event-source references across multiple transitions at once.

Edit and delete​

  • Edit opens the transition inspector.
  • Delete removes the transition after confirmation.

Transition structure reminder​

Transitions contain:

  • a trigger
  • optional guards
  • optional actions

Guards are reusable definitions built from conditions. Conditions are not attached directly to transitions as standalone reusable objects.
