If you open the role editor, it contains an empty line already.
Start typing the name of the role your are seaching for in field Role. The field has an autocomplete function: As soon as you start inserting, a drop-down list is displayed containing all available roles that match your input.
Select the role you want to use.
In the next step you need to assign the rights that will be granted to the role owner.
Available options are:
Right
Description
Write
A user assigned to this role will be able to see and change the instance data for all process steps in the current lane.
Read
A user assigned to this role will be able to display the instance data for all process steps in the current lane.
This right is assigned by default.
List
A user assigned to this role will only be able to see the instances in the instance table for all process steps in the current lane.
You can continue to add further roles (or create new ones) as multiple roles can be assigned to one lane.
When you have finished, save your changes to apply them to the lane.
The number of roles assigned to a lane is displayed in the attributes panel.
You have to open the user management, to assign the new role to users.
If you want to use an element at a different position in the tree, select the context menu option Cut Item.
Open the context menu of the element in which you want to insert the cut element and choose Paste Item.
The option Paste Item is only enabled if the elements to be inserted fit into the tree hierarchy. Pasting elements is only possible in the same namespace.
The element is now displayed on its new place in the tree.

It is not possible to assign the same value to different labels.
Enter a Label for your element option. The label is displayed in the form.
Use the scheduler if you want to define a pattern for your Timer Start Event, for example to start the model every monday, every hour etc.

Duration Expression Wizard
The settings Repeat Interval and First Occurrence contain the icon .
Click the icon to open a wizard that supports you to define the necessary duration expression.
Insert positive integers in the desired fields.
The result is shown below.
Click Save to close the wizard.
The duration expression is displayed in the corresponding field.
Once you are familiar with the notation of the duration expression, you can also insert it directly in the field.
For a role-based process model, you need at least one main lane.
You can then add sublanes.
To create sublanes, drag the next lane elements onto the header of the main lane element. Drop the new element on the border of an existing lane to position the new sublane.
To create a sublane within a sublane, you can drag the element onto the body of an existing lane.
To activate the lane element, click its border or icon/header. If the element is active, an indicator is displayed in the lower right corner and the border of the element is thicker.
Before Deletion:
After Deletion:
If you delete a lane element, it is erased from your work areaincluding all content! However, you can use restore the deletion by using Undo in the BPMN toolbar.
