Swimlanes

Users can structure the process map by visually grouping the elements that belong to different parts of the process. The process map can be structured depending on the user roles, different process stages, departments, etc.

Swimlanes can be added to the process diagram from Elements Pannel. They can be horizontal and vertical.

The swimlane connection with other elements is as follows:

• The element that is fully located in the area of the swimlane is automatically bounded with that swimlane. When you move (drag&drop) the swimlane, the elements inside moves as well.
• When one swimlane is overlapping another one, the element which is included in the area of both swimlanes is bounded with them both. When you move one of the swimlanes, the element is moved as well.

• When you resize the swimlane and the bounded elements appear to be outside the swimlane area, that means they will not be included in the swimlane.

  The minimum allowed size for the swimlane is:

• for horizontal swimlane:

  • height: fit to title
  • width: 100px

• for vertical swimlane:

  • height: 100px

  • width: fit to title

    
    

    

    
    

Swimlanes can be renamed by double-clicking the title of the swimlane.

When hovering over a swimlane, a + button is visible and lets you add a new swimlane directly after the one on which the button was pressed.
