Groups
The Group symbol provides a visual mechanism to group elements of a process flow informally. Groups are often used to highlight certain sections of a diagram without adding additional constraints as, for example, a subprocess would. The grouping is for documentation or analysis purposes only: the group of activities formed does not affect the Sequence Flow.
