Feature Request: Additional Annotation Types

asked on April 3, 2015

We would like to be able to use additional types of annotations on the Process Modeler. We would like to be able to add boxes or rectangles to a process modeler that would reside behind events, gateways, and tasks and would be able to be assigned a color and given a title.

The idea behind this concept is that you could essentially put a rectangle in the process modeler, assign it a color, and give it a title, and then put activities, tasks, etc. on top of it as a way to visually group them together.

Can you describe what specifically you are trying to add?  Is this specifically to implement swim lanes?  We are in the process of adding support for that.

Below is a screenshot taken from another system that has this feature.

I'm not sure what a swim lane is, so I don't know if it's the same thing.

Please review this page for information about what a swim lane is in terms of business processing.

The idea is the same except that things are grouped in "lanes" and displayed in parallel to each other. See this page for an example of what it looks like.

Looks like that will work. Is the plan to have that in version 10?
