Notes
1 LaneSets are supported without nested lanes. LaneSets can be modeled with one level of lanes within a single pool. For imported BPMN XML, a pool is added if the generated process diagram has a laneSet.
2 If the data store and data object is not connected with an association connector, then they will not be imported during an import operation.
