The Participant view is selected by selecting the Participant tab at the bottom of the ProEd editor window. This is an alternate way of viewing the workflow, organized by participants :
The majority of the activity view discussion also applies to the participant view.
The participant view differs from the activity view in the following ways:
The SYSTEM participant lane is shown at the top of the diagram, with the other participants following in alphabetical order.
Activities cannot be added in the participant view, however, their properties
may be modified and transitions and iterators may be added.
- this restriction will be removed in a future release.
Dragging a basic activity from one participant lane into another will change the activity's participant, and will modify the start mode as necessary to maintain compatibility.
Block, route, subflow, and end activities must use the SYSTEM participant, so ProEd will not let them be dragged out of the SYSTEM lane.
Activities will be automatically repositioned when it is necessary to place them in the proper participant lane, when two activities overlap, or when a participant view position has not been established for the activity.
When participants are added or deleted, the resulting position of some of the existing participant lanes may be different than before. The activities in these lanes will be automatically repositioned to move them into the new lane position, and the user may desire to rearrange them in a more harmonious manner.
