Real Purpose of Swimlane in Modeler

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions
1

Hi Team,

Could you explain me the real time usage of Swim lane ? I see there is no specific functionality associated with it (Only I see “Extension Properties” in its Properties panel) in the Modeler.
Is it intended only for identifying or visualizing the kind of tasks associated with a particular Role.

Hello @Saju_John_Sebastian1 ,

the swimlane exists to name a role that participates in a process.

For some tools, swimlanes are used to assign tasks for example. We decided against it, as we want to make developers lives as easy as possible when automating BPMN processes.

I hope this helps
