A pool represents a participant in the process. It can contain other modeling elements including collapsed sub-processes and lanes. A pool is drawn as a rectangular region drawn horizontally across the diagram or vertically down it.

Pool is similar to the sub-process element in the default template of QPR Modeling Client.

 

 

Creating and Modifying Pools

Tool Palette of the BPMN template contains a tool for creating pools pool. When you have selected the tool in the Tool Palette, create a new pool by pointing and clicking the location for it in the diagram. A new diagram is added to the model.

 

You can edit the properties of pools (such as the attributes listed in the tables below) by right-clicking on the element in the diagram view and selecting Set Process Step Properties... For further information on this dialog, see topic "Process Step Dialog" in QPR Modeling Client - User's Guide. Using the pop-up context menu, you can also change directly some of the pool properties, such as the name.
