Meaning of circles for steps in process view [message #21581]

Hello,

I was wondering about the following: When I create steps for a tasks in
the process view every step gets a little circle. With openUP, these
circles are sometime filled and sometimes not. The circles EPF creates
for my method are never filled. What is the meaning behind the circles
beeing filled or not? How can I influence this?

Thanks,
Philipp

The circles represent steps in the task, as defined in the method
element. In the task descriptor that references the actual task (the
task descriptor is what Capability Patterns and Delivery Processes use),
you can turn steps on and off and reorder therm. A filled circle means
that the step is active in the task descriptor. An empty circle
represents a step in the task that is not in the task descriptor.
