The way that the map displays in processes and value streams can be changed from a swimlane view to a view where the roles are embedded. Read more about embedded view for complex processes here

Swimlane View

Embedded Roles View

Quick Steps to Enable Embedded View

  • Open the Actions menu in the diagram content

  • Switch the Display embedded view toggle on

An additional option is available to allow colours when the embedded view is on. Colours can not be set if the embedded view is not enabled.

Dynamic Role Families

Where there are multiple roles assigned to a node, it is referred to as a dynamic role family. Not all of them can be shown on the map due to space limitations, both in swimlane view and embedded view. The display is cut off at a certain point, and ellipses (...) are used to indicate that there's more information that isn't visible. To view all these roles, you could:

  1. In swimlane view only, hover over the roles to see all the associated roles.

  2. In both swimlane view and embedded view, open the diagram content menu on the right-hand side, and all the roles are displayed there.
