The Create New Analysis Wizard supports you during the creation of an analysis.

  • In step 1 the user must select a chart type.
  • In step 2 the process to be analyzed is selected
  • In step 3 the axis allocation for the analysis is configured.
  • In step 4 the user can finally create filters for their analysis.

Only the first three steps are mandatory, the creation of a filter is optional.

Creating a Filter

In step 4 of the wizard, the option Applying no filter is selected by default. This means that all instances of the process selected are evaluated in the analysis.

In step 4, it is still possible to create an analysis directly without a filter: Use the Create Analysis button to do so.

Relative Filtering

The operator relative filter is available for the instance attributes End DateLast Update, and Start Date.

Use the selection list to set predefined filters.

The following selections are available:

  • last minute
  • last hour
  • yesterday
  • last week
  • last month
  • last year
  • user-defined

If you choose the option user-defined, you can enter the desired duration manually (see Entering a Duration).

Nesting Filters

You can create as many filters as you wish. Filters can also be nested to any depth.

Once you have finished entering the desired filter, you can create the analysis using the Create Analysis button.

Creating Filters Specific to Measures

If an analysis has been configured with several measures (see page Configuring Axis Allocation), you can also create measure-specific filters.

The creation of measure-specific filters is not available for pie charts and tachometer charts as these charts can only be configured for one index number at a time.

If you have saved several measures on an axis, the All Measures tab appears when you open the filter wizard.

If you configure filters in this tab, the filters are applied to all allocated measures.

In addition to the global All Measures filter, you can create measure-specific filters.

To change the existing global filter to a filter specific to a key measure, open the selection list Apply filter to and select the corresponding measure.

The selected measure is transferred to the tab. All filters that you create now only affect the selected measure.

If you wish to create additional measure-specific filters, use option to add more tabs.

Use option to remove already created tabs.

Once a measure-specific filter has been created, the global filter no longer applies to this measure. The name of the tab therefore changes from All measures to Remaining measures.

Example:

The filter Process Count < 12 in tab Remaining measures will not be executed.

Filters to be applied to the Process Count must be saved in the Process Count tab.

Changing Filters

When all required filters have been created and the analysis has been created, the chart is displayed in the Process Analyzer. The settings for the analysis are shown in the sidebar:

Use the sidebar to assign a name and a description to the analysis. You can also edit the filter settings via the sidebar. Click in the Filters section in the sidebar to open a pop-up window where you can adapt existing filters and also create new ones:
