The template "Business process swim lane diagram BPMN 1.2" for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the Business Process Diagram solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. Swimlanes are used in Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and Unified Modeling Language activity diagram modeling methodologies."
Many process modeling methodologies utilize the concept of swimlanes, as a mechanism to organize activities into separate visual categories in order to illustrate different functional capabilities or responsibilities (organisational roles). When used to diagram a business process that involves more than one department, swimlanes often serve to clarify not only the steps and who is responsible for each one, but also how delays, mistakes or cheating are most likely to occur. In the accompanying example, the swimlanes are named Customer, Sales, Contracts, Legal, and Fulfillment, and are arranged vertically. Swim lanes may be arranged either horizontally or vertically. Deleting a swimlane also deletes the shapes it contains."A swim lane (or swimlane) is a visual element used in process flow diagrams, or flowcharts, that visually distinguishes responsibilities for sub-processes of a business process. To delete a swimlane, click its label bar so that a grey highlight appears around the swimlane, then press Delete. Shapes contained in the swimlane move along with it. Then drag the swimlane until the orange connection indicator appears at the location where you want the swimlane to be. To move a swimlane higher or lower on the flowchart, click its label bar so that a grey highlight appears around the swimlane. You can also drag the swimlane’s end line, if you want to make it longer or shorter.
If you need to change the width of any swimlane, drag one of the swimlane’s separator lines until it is the width that you want. Shapes that are grouped with a swimlane, move automatically with it when you move the swimlane. To group the process shape with a swimlane, move the shape so that Visio highlights the swimlane, and then drop the shape. Note: If you drop a new swimlane onto a process shape that’s already on your drawing, the process shape is not associated, or grouped, with the swimlane, even though it might look like it.
