Lanes

Go Up to Swimlanes (BPM)

A Lane is a subpartition within a pool. Lanes organize and categorize activities. Lanes are often used to separate the activities associated with a specific company function or role. A Sequence Flow may cross the boundaries of Lanes within a Pool, but a Message Flow may not be used between events and activities in Lanes of the same Pool or between the lanes of the same Pool.

When you click a lane in a pool, selection handles appear on the selected lane.

You have many ways to insert lanes in pools. You can also resize lanes, create nested lanes, reorder lanes in pools, delete lanes from pools, and remove lanes from pools.

Note: To select multiple elements in the Lane, hold down the ALT key to invoke the marquee cursor.
