To use an attribute, drag it from the list onto the area of ​​the corresponding axis. You can only drop instance attributes with the matching symbol onto the corresponding axis.


Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_error


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameaxis_allocation_error

If instance attributes of differing levels are mixed, the resulting chart is not meaningful. The wizard therefore displays the following message:

You combined process attributes with process step attributes. This kind of axis allocation will not lead to significant results.

Please change your selection of instance attributes. Matching attributes are highlighted in color.


Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_green


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameaxis_allocation_green

A green frame signals that they are saving the selected instance attribute in the correct axis area.


Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_intro


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameaxis_allocation_intro

You can determine which instance attributes should be displayed in the chart in the axis allocation step. The available instance attributes are listed on the left.

Refer to Process Mining Glossary for detailed explanations of individual instance attributes.



Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_list


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameaxis_allocation_list

The two areas for the content of the x and y axis are located on the right hand side of the dialog.

  • Dimensions are displayed on the x-axis. They are marked with the symbol .
  • Key indicators are displayed on the y-axis. They can be identified by the symbol .

In distribution charts (all chart types except tachometer), key indicators can also be displayed as a dimension on the x-axis.


Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_red


Multiexcerpt

Once the basis for filtering has been defined, you can create individual attribute filters:

  • Use option to create a new attribute filter.
  • Use option to link attribute filters.

To select an instance attribute, expand the Field selection list.


Analysis - Filterfilter_basis


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamefilter_basis

In the first field, the selection list is the basis for determining filtering:

  • All: All rules must be met.
  • Any:  At least one rule must be met.


Analysis - Filterfilter_contains


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamefilter_contains

Example: Step contains %end%

All instances containing the string end in the step instance attribute will be displayed. Steps in which additional characters appear before or after the string end are also taken into account.


Analysis - Filterfilter_create


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamefilter_create

If you change the option on the create following filter function, the filter entry is displayed.


Analysis - Filterfilter_duration


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamefilter_duration

Duration periods (process duration, step duration) are entered as whole numbers. A single number is interpreted as meaning a time unit of seconds.


Analysis - Filterfilter_duration_display


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamefilter_duration_display

After completing the entry, the applied time units are written out automatically.


Analysis - Filterfilter_duration_no


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamefilter_duration_no

If a time unit entry is not clearly defined, a corresponding message will be shown.


Analysis - Filterfilter_operator_contains


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamefilter_operator_contains

If you choose the contains operator, you can use wildcards for entries in the value field. The following placeholders are allowed:

  • _ (underscore): Use an underscore as a placeholder for any character.
  • %  (percentage sign): Use the percentage sign as a placeholder for any set of character strings.


Analysis - Filterfilter_operator_table


Multiexcerpt

General tipsmining_authorization


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamemining_authorization


Info

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 ADMIN.



Installationcollection_level


Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamecollection_level


Collection LevelDescriptionRestrictions
Custom

Collects everything that has been logged to the transaction log with transaction log level Custom:

  • Logs everything that is written by the logger adapter (for more details , see refer to BRIDGE Documentation > Log Adapter).
  • All other logs in the transaction log will be ignored.

Service must at least have transaction log level Custom.

Refer to Contents of the Transaction Log for details.

Service

Collects everything that has been logged to the transaction log with transaction log level Service:

  • Logs the start and the end of calls to a service operation (service interface). For example, calls to SOAP, SAPRFC, or HTTP operations.
  • All other logs in the transaction log will be ignored.

Service must at least have transaction log level Service.

Refer to Contents of the Transaction Log for details.

IO

Collects everything that has been logged to the transaction log with transaction log level IOExternal and IOInternal:

  • Logs calls of adapters that communicate with external systems like SAP, SQL, SOAP, etc. For instance, the SQL queries that are sent to the database will be logged as well. Calls via the file system and system adapter are excluded.
  • Logs also calls of adapters to internal (local) resources (file system adapter and system adapter).

Service must have transaction log level IOExternal or IOInternal.

Refer to Contents of the Transaction Log for details.


Note

The higher the collection level, the more information will be collected and the more data will be stored in the database of Scheer PAS Process Mining. If you do not need to analyze your processes and services down to all IO operations, it is sufficient to set your collection level to e.g. Service to take load of your database server.

However, in case you need to analyze a process or service further down than the collected data allows, you could easily upload the corresponding transaction logs manually with a higher collection level (given that the transaction log level of the service allows that).

But keep the following in mind: If you manually upload a transaction log of a service with collection level e.g. IO whose data has already been collected with collection log level e.g. Service, the already collected data will be doubled. For these cases, we recommend to distinct the manually uploaded logs by e.g. a different host. Otherwise your process or service statistics could get distorted.
