Chapter 4 Building an Analysis Business Process Model


Moving, copying and pasting swimlanes (analysis BPM)

You can move an individual swimlane to another location. You can also move the entire set of swimlane to another location but it is not possible to move several swimlanes simultaneously.

Your can move or copy a swimlane and paste it to the following locations:

Diagram What happens...
Different When you move or copy the swimlane as an individual symbol to another folder or diagram, the symbols that exist inside the swimlane are not copied
Same When you move a swimlane within the same diagram, you change the order of swimlanes inside the set of swimlanes. In this case, all symbols inside the swimlane are moved at the same time (even if some elements are not attached to the swimlane). This is to preserve the layout of the diagram

If you move attached processes inside a swimlane, the width or height of the swimlane varies to include all attached processes.

When you move or copy an entire set of swimlanes and paste it into a different diagram, the symbols that exist inside the swimlanes are not copied.

Note   Auto-Layout function
The auto-layout function is unavailable with organization units displayed as swimlanes.
