Complete the following steps to specify the state that a region executes first.

1. Place an Initial pseudostate on the statechart diagram.  
2. Create a transition from this pseudostate to the state that you want to execute first.
3. (Optional) Configure any actions for this transition. You cannot configure a trigger or guard for this transition.

For example, consider the following figure:

Each region must have an Initial pseudostate. In the previous figure, the statechart executes State 1 first. If the statechart takes the transition into State 2, the statechart executes State 3 first.

Note  The Terminal pseudostate specifies the state that can terminate the enclosing region.
