  1. OMG Issue

BPMN2 — LaneSet should have an optional ‘name’ attribute

  • Key: BPMN2-257
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15061
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Since a LaneSet represents a “a different way” of slicing up a process (e.g. by role or by department) then it should have a name, not just a (potentially unreadable) id to represent that way. Allowing different diagrams for the same Process to be distinguished.

    There should be also a notation to allow for this: for example <Process Name>: <LaneSet Name>

    So for example Figure 10.121 would have Supplier: By Department

    • Insert a new row at the top of table 10.127 (LaneSet attributes and model associations) with the following content:
      Column "Attribute Name":
      name: string
      Column "Description/Usage":
      The name of the LaneSet. A LaneSet is not visually displayed on a BPMN diagram. Consequently, the name of the LaneSet is not displayed as well.
