Each swim lane is titled with a role, either agency-based or within DFS, and in some cases, is representative of an external entity or system. The swim lanes may change from page to page within a single business subprocess as more or fewer roles are required to execute sections of the business subprocess.
- Bank: State of Florida’s banking services provider.
- BOSP Payroll Processor: BOSP role responsible for auditing an employee's pay in the system with the ability to view, enter, and update transactions.
