There is a maximum number of icons and data items that can be set in a Workflow App diagram when defining Workflows.
- The maximum number of BPMN icons available on a Workflow Diagram
- Swimlanes: 50
- Events ⁄ Gateways : 170 (altogether)
- Annotations : 100
- The maximum number of Data Items : :300
You will not be able to place icons or define data items beyond the maximum number (upper limit). Please consider removing unnecessary items or dividing the Workflow App, etc.
We believe that these limits are enough for designing a Workflow App, generally. If you exceed these upper limits, there is the possibility that your Workflow App is too complex or too large. Therefore, it could be a good opportunity for you to review the business operations and to improve the Workflow App! Please take a look at the Workflow App carefully, once again.
Besides you, is the Workflow App easy to understand for your co-workers and newcomers?
P.S. Needless to say, even if your Cases do not reach the upper limit, be sure to review the Workflow Apps on a regular basis.
