Chapter 9 Customizing the BPM Environment
To set display preferences for organization units, select Tools→Display Preferences→General command.
| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| Organization unit swimlane | Displays the organization unit as a swimlane. If the check box is deselected, the organization unit displays as an icon |
| Vertical | When the Organization unit swimlane check box is selected, displays swimlane horizontally in the diagram |
| Horizontal | When the Organization unit swimlane check box is selected, displays swimlane vertically in the diagram |
For Business Process Models that support the concept of top-level diagrams, organization units represented as swimlanes are not allowed in top-level diagrams, only the icon representation is allowed. The swimlane representation can only be used in diagrams contained in composite processes.
For more information about top-level diagrams, see sections Understanding top-level diagram and top-level process in a collaborative BPM in chapter Building a Collaborative Business Process Model and Understanding top-level diagram and top-level process in an executable BPM in chapter Building an Executable BPM: Managing Data and Choreography.
Another display preference is available for organization units using the Tools→Display Preferences→Organization Unit command:
| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| Stereotype | Displays the stereotype of the organization unit |
