Swimlane: Swimlanes are used to show how workflows flow through different organizational or technical channels. Each Swimlane represents a different person, group, technology or location. Tasks and resources located in those Swimlanes represents the organizational or technical channel's work and resources.

Swimlanes can be created by:

  • Dragging and dropping a Swimlane object from your stencil icons,
  • Right mouse clicking on an existing Swimlane and selecting New or by,
  • Selecting New from the Process - Swimlane - New pull-down menu.

Swimlane

  • New: Creating Swimlanes is an iterative process. The representation of Swimlanes in SemTalk Online is based on the principles of the BPMN methodology. A Business Process Diagram's default setting is to show the highest level Swimlane on the Business Process Diagram. When you select Process - Swimlane - New, a new Sub-Swimlane will be created. Additional Sub-Swimlanes

  • Vertical: Swimlanes can be shown vertically or horizontally. Once this setting has been selected, it in not possible to revert back to the other setting.

  • Expand and Collapse: Shows or hides swimlanes to allow users to show the flows between specific swimlane tasks.

  • Plus/Minus button: This button is a short-cut to Expand or Collapse Swimlanes.

Once a Swimlane has been created, if you delete the Swimlane, it will delete all of the objects in the Swimlane in your model. Those objects will continue to remain in the Repository.
