You can use the instance list or instance table to examine individual process instances. Since instance data from the Scheer PAS components (Designer, Integration and BPaaS) are different in some respects, the instance displays also differ slightly.
The instance table lists all the instances of the underlying process of an analysis. You can open the instance table via option in the analysis menu. |
The process instances are listed on the active dialog window. The heading includes a statement of the total number:
Click on an instance to select it. The instance details are shown in the sidebar:
The following process instance details are shown:
Users can configure the instance list using the buttons in the sidebar:
To enable identification of individual instances, the process ID is always specified as a column. The second standard column is a result of the axis allocation of the analysis:
You can adapt the columns of the instance list. Use option Select Columns in the sidebar:
To enable identification of individual instances, the process ID is always specified as a column. Other features can be chosen freely by the user. |
In the Select Columns dialog, select the values that you want to use as a column. | |
The selected column contents are highlighted in color. Click Apply to adopt the selection and reconfigure the instance list. | |
The selected columns are added to the instance list. | |
You can adjust the column size by moving the tab. | |
You can change the column order by moving an entire tab to a new position. |
Use option Filter in the sidebar to set a filter for the instance table:
An instance table filter does not affect the underlying analysis. If you exit the instance table, the filter is discarded. |
If you have already set a filter for the underlying analysis, this filter will also be applied initially to the instance table:
If various measure-specific filters are used in the analysis, these are stored for the instance list:
To define a new filter or to change an existing filter, click on the filter display in the sidebar. | ||
The filter settings open in a separate dialog. To create a new filter, select option Applying the following filter. An instance filter is configured in accordance with the same principle as the creation of an analysis filter.
| ||
You can create as many filters as you wish. Filters can also be nested to any depth you require. Save the entries to apply the filter to the instance list. | ||
The filter is applied to the instance list. The filter settings are shown in the sidebar. |
You can also ssort the contents of the instance list. Click the column you want to sort by:
The instances are sorted according to the selected column. In addition an arrow appears in the top column, indicating whether the data has been sorted in an ascending or descending order. Change the direction by clicking again.
Multi-level sorting is also possible. Select the column by which you wish to sort first and then click on another column while holding down the Shift key. The sorting order is identified by the corresponding numbering of the columns:
You can display the history of the selected process instance. Use option to open it.
The detail view varies depending on the type of process step selected. The following details are shown:
In addition to the detail view, another tab allows you to display transaction data.

The detail view varies depending on the type of process step selected. The following details are shown:
|
Instance data can be exported in file format. The file formats supported are
Use Data Export in the sidebar to export instances. | |
In the Data Export dialog, enter the desired File Name and select the File Format for the export. The corresponding file extension is automatically added. Process name and current date are used as standard file name. Finally, click Export to start the download. |
It is also possible to transfer process-specific values ("custom values") to Scheer PAS Process Mining. To do this the values must be logged during execution and transferred to Process Mining.
Process-specific Values for Logging in Process MiningYou can evaluate process information in Process Mining, for example in order to identify problems in a process. A pre-requisite for the evaluation is that the required process information is logged and transferred to Process Mining. By default the following data is logged:
If you wish to expand the analysis with additional information on a process instance, you can widen the xUML service and log the values of customer specific fields (also referred to as custom fields or custom values). Each Builder model has a process tracing repository that can be used for this purpose. Illustration: Process Tracing Repository in the Containment Tree of Magic Draw The process class contains three value operations which can be used to log additional values from String, Float and DateTime fields.
ExampleThe LoanApproval example implements a very simple credit authorization process. You can find further information on this example process in the Scheer PAS BRIDGE Documentation > A Simple Business Process. In the Loan Approval process, additional custom fields are logged alongside the standard data:
Illustration: Logging Additional Values for Process Mining The three value operations each contain four parameters:
In Process Mining, custom values are displayed in bold:

Process-specific content, for example values from form fields, can be transferred to Process Mining and used in analyses. If you wish to log process specific values for Process Mining please contact your Scheer PAS consultant for advice. |
Process-specific content, for example values from form fields, can be transferred to Process Mining and used in analyses.
Currently, log collection is only possible for services with deployment target Integration. |
