The Process Analyzer is an active dialog window in which process analyses are created and managed. If you open Process Mining for the first time, the Process Analyzer is initially empty:

As soon as analyses have been created, the corresponding charts are displayed in the Process Analyzer:

A Process Mining user is authorized to create analyses for all processes that are saved in their profiles. If a user's authorization for a profile is revoked, they can no longer analyze the processes from this profile. If they have already created analyses prior to the loss of authorization, the analysis in the content area is shown with the message No authorization to analyse this process.

Note for administrators: The allocation of authorizations and profiles is explained in detail in the Administration Guide.

Managing Your Analyses

You can customize the presentation of the charts according to your wishes and requirements:

Choose between a one, two and three column view.
Add headings to your analyses.
Change the position of analyses you have created via a simple move function.
Reload new instances with one click.
Show captions for small, or all data points in the analysis.
This function is not available for tachometer, pie and network charts.
Delete analyses that no longer required.
Enable individual instances of an analysis to be listed.
Use an already analysis already as a template.

The charts managed in the Process Analyzer are interactive and offer a number of additional functions.

	Showing Details Move the mouse cursor over the chart content to display individual key figures.
	Enlarging Sections A zoom function is available within a chart. Use the mouse to create a selection rectangle in order to enlarge a section.

	Select option to move and re-position the diagram.
	Drag the analysis to the desired position.
	The chart is placed in the new position. The position of the other charts is adjusted accordingly.

Reloading an Analysis

Use option Reload analysis to refresh the instance data of the underlying process. This is helpful if Process Mining has been open for a while and the user wants to account for new instance data that has since been generated in the analysis.

The instance data for a single analysis will be reloaded ...

...when an analysis filter is changed.
...when the axis allocation of an analysis is changed.
...when option Reload is used.
...when automatic reloading is activated.

The instance data for all analyses in the Process Analyzer will be reloaded ...

...when the user logs into process mining.
...when you press the F5 key on the your keyboard whilst the user interface is open.

Displaying Data Labels

If you want to show data belonging to individual data points in an analysis, use option Show/Hide data labels.

Data captions are not available for tachometer, network and pie charts.

The option - and thereby also the setting in the analysis - can show three versions of the analysis:

Button	Analysis Display	Description
		In the standard setting, no captions are shown in the analysis.
		After the first click, only the captions for "low" values are displayed. In this way, users can also make those values visible whose visual representation is not discernible at first glance. Values less than or equal to 1% of the value range are considered "low".
		If the option is used again, the captions for all data points are displayed. Click option again to re-hide the data labels.

Deleting an Analysis

	Use option to delete the analysis from the Process Analyzer.
	To complete the action, confirm the security question.

Displaying the Instance List

Use option to display the list of all instances belonging to the underlying process. The list of instances enables a closer look at the raw data of the process. You can configure the instance list according to your needs. It is also possible to filter instance list data independently of the analysis.

Refer to Examining Instances to know more about how the instance list can be configured and individual instances can be viewed.

Creating a Template

Use option if you want to create a template from the current analysis.

Refer to Creating a Template for a step-by-step explanation on how to create templates.

Setting Automatic Reloading

Use option if you want to reload analysis data at a specified interval automatically.

You can set the following time intervals:

15 minutes
5 minutes
1 minute
15 seconds

Click the option several times to switch between time intervals. The interval selected is displayed at the center:

Otherwise the data will only be updated as described in Reloading an Analysis.
