Assign participant groups to lanes

Participant group lane assignments ensure that any activities that are not routed to a specific group or user have an automatic default assignment.

Before making lane assignments, you need to create the participant groups required for your process. To continue building a basic BPD by following the procedures in Basic modeling tasks, follow the instructions in Create a participant group to create the following groups:

Be sure to add users and groups as standard members to the preceding participant groups. If you are not sure which members to add, add the tw_allusers security group for now so that you can run and test your BPD. You can leave all other participant group settings at the default values.

Each lane that you create is assigned to the All Users participant group by default. You can use this default participant group for running and testing your BPD in the Inspector. The All Users participant group includes all users who are members of the tw_allusers security group, which is a special security group that automatically includes all users in the system. See Lombardi Administration Guide for more information about the tw_allusers security group. See Create a participant group for more information about defining the users that belong to a participant group.

To assign participant groups to lanes:

  1. In the BPD diagram, click the lane in which you want to make the assignment.
  2. In the Behavior section of the properties, click the Select button to choose the participant group that you want to use as the default group for this lane.

    You need a default lane assignment to ensure that any activities that are not otherwise routed have an automatic default assignment. See Route activities for more information.

  3. Choose the participant group from the library.

    Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each lane in the sample BPD: Employee, Manager, Accounts Payable, and Monitor. You should have created a matching participant group for each.

    Leave the System lane assigned to the default System participant group.

  4. Click Save in the main toolbar.
