Expected paths

---

In the J-Graph visual editor, the bot business logic is built upon states. Blocks are the elements which describe the user and bot behavior in the context of states.

Expected paths are the patterns, intents, and events which can initiate a dialog transition to other states.

JAICP DSL equivalents

All expected paths have direct equivalents among JAICP DSL tags. They are converted to these tags when switching from J‑Graph to the source code editor.

Block	JAICP DSL tag
Pattern	q
Intent	intent
Event	event

For all expected paths, you can configure the following parameters:

Parameter	Description	JAICP DSL equivalent
Go to state	The state where transitions can be made from the current state and other states in the same group. This parameter is required.	The toState parameter is filled.
Ignore transitions from nested states	If the checkbox is active, transitions to the selected state can be made strictly from the current state, but not from others in its group.	The onlyThisState parameter is enabled.

Blocks

Patterns, intents, and events acting as expected paths are configured in the same way as the corresponding triggers. Learn more about setting up triggers.
