On a Visio flow diagram representation, a Router Pool shape () contains one or more Swim Lane shapes (). Swim Lanes organize and graphically identify a related group of task shapes that are performed within a specific work context (typically a work group). By default, a new router pool contains one swim lane. You cannot delete the only lane in a pool.

For an example, see Pega Developer Network article PRKB-25607 How to use router pools and swim lanes in flows.

Older releases

In releases prior to V5.5, pools and swim lanes defined and separated processing performed by distinct organization units within one division, or that depended upon the value of a work object property. Pool and swim lane shapes in such versions will function as originally configured in V5.5 and later. You cannot add additional lanes for organization units or property values.

It is suggested that you upgrade them to router pools, which use swim lanes that employ router activities. This enables you to more precisely direct assignments to worklists and workbaskets.
