BPMN supports the notion of Pools for representing organizations, and Lanes for representing departments within an organization. Rogue Wave JViews BPMN Modeler supports both concepts.

Lanes

To create Lanes in a diagram, click the Create Lane command, and place the lane onto the diagram. Then, drop your diagram objects into the lane. The property of the object (see Properties view), is then updated to indicate that it belongs to the lane.

Lanes
To remove an object from a Lane, select the object and remove its Lane property; see Properties view.
The size of the lane is determined by the position of the objects within the lane. In some cases, an object may appear to be inside a lane to which it does not belong. This can happen if a lane is enlarged when one of its elements is moved.

Pools

Pools are similar to lanes but they can include lanes within them.
To add a Lane into a Pool, just drop a Lane into the pool
