Swimlanes provide a graphical representation of a storyboard, either in the context of workflow responsibilities, i.e. assigned resources, or by selected highlight rules. Each resource or highlight rule will be presented in a separate 'lane'. Associated notes, attachments and links can be accessed as normal in the web server.

5.	If you selected to generate the swimlanes based on highlight rules, select the highlight rule(s) from the list and click Add Rule to Apply List , otherwise proceed to Step 6.

Note: Hold Ctrl to select multiple highlight rules.

To reorder the highlight rules as they will appear in the swimlane view, select a highlight rule from the applied rules and click Move Up or Move Down .

6.	Select or deselect any of the following options:
