A.13. Lanes

"A Lane is a sub-partition within a Process (often within a Pool)... " [18]
A Lane allows you to group some of the Process elements and define their common parameters. Note that a Lane may contain another Lane.
In Process Designer, if a Element with the Actors or GroupID property defined, any new Elements defined in the Lane adopt the property values automatically.
