  • Summary:

    Fix the notation to allow assignment of a decision to partition when the swimlanes are not practical.
  • Reported: UML 2.5b1 — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.5
  • Disposition Summary:

    The notation already allows this, as described in Subclause 15.6.4 of the UML 2.5 beta specification. Under
    “Activity Partitions”, it states “In some diagramming situations, using parallel lines to delineate ActivityPartitions
    is not practical. An alternative is to place the partition name in parenthesis above the ActivityNode
    name. . . ” Thus the desired alternative notation is already provided for any ActivityNode. However, since
    the associated figure only shows Actions, the applicability to other ActivityNodes could be clearer.
