Configuring Lanes

BPMN Lanes allow you to model who is responsible for activities.

Process example with Child Lanes

Adding Lanes to your Diagram

To add lanes to your diagram, first you must add a participant object ( ) onto your model from the object palette.

Once you have a participant, you can divide it into multiple lanes, using the lane division tools. Select the participant, and you will see the lane creation tools on the object tool palette:

  • create lane above
  • create lane below
  • divide into 3 lanes
  • divide into 2 lanes

To create a child lane set, i.e., a laneset within one of the existing lanes, select the lane that you want to further divide, and select:

  • divide into 2 lanes

To add more than 2 lanes to the child lane set, start by creatiing two and then add lanes above or below in the child laneset.

Configure Lanes

To configure a lane, select the lane object from your process diagram in the BPMN Modeler.

You can specify whether a lane maps to an APEX role, and if so, the name of that role. (see discussion here) The Role information is then used as the default role for all tasks in the lane, unless they have more specific task assignment information defined.

To configure, select the lane object in your process diagram, and set is role and specify its corresponding APEX role.
