Pools and Lanes

rowan_bradley — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:32:46 GMT

When, in Modeller, I drag a couple of Lanes to the inside of a Pool, it creates the lanes as if they are sequential. They each cover the full width of the pool. I was expecting them each to cover half the width of the pool, but its full length, so I can model concurrent activities by different peopl

Try dropping the new Lane on the label of the Pool or parent Lane.

Thanks for your suggestion. This seems to work, and allows me to create the lanes as I want them.

Does the other representation (with all the lanes on top of each other) mean anything? If not, why does Modeler let me create them like this?

Thanks - Rowan

I dont believe it has any meaning in BPMN.

I assume that it is something which is valid in other modeling languages,that is baked into the core of the Modeler.
