Welcome to QPR ProcessAnalyzer Wiki! QPR ProcessAnalyzer is a software for turning event and transactional data into visual process analysis and intelligence. Topics in this documentation are divided based on user roles for process analysts, developers and administrators.

For Process Analysts

This section contains information how to get started with QPR ProcessAnalyzer and how to create your first dashboards! This section also describes how to use filters and how to make different kinds of analyses with QPR ProcessAnalyzer.

For Citizen Developers

This section describes how to build ETL scripts that transform the source data into process mining models. There is also a detailed description how the process mining models can be configured so that they are optimal for the desired analyses. Finally, there is reference documentation for all expression language related functionality, that can be used both when writing custom KPI's in dashboards and in the ETL scripts.

-To build QPR ProcessAnalyzer models, you need to extract data from source systems, transform data to a format compatible with QPR ProcessAnalyzer and finally load data as process models. To perform these tasks, you can use T-SQL and QPR ProcessAnalyzer scripting commands. When you have created a model, users can analyze the model and create dashboards.
+This section describes how to build ETL scripts that transform the source data into process mining models. There is also a detailed description how the process mining models can be configured so that they are optimal for the desired analyses. Finally, there is reference documentation for all expression language related functionality, that can be used both when writing custom KPI's in dashboards and in the ETL scripts.

-QPR ProcessAnalyzer installation requires installing the QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server to IIS and two databases. It is recommended to install also QPR UI server to fully utilize the power of QPR ProcessAnalyzer. With QPR UI installed, QPR ProcessAnalyzer can be used via web browser for analyzing process models and analyzer users do not need any additional software installed on their workstations. Developer users need also to have QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel client installed.
+This section starts with the planning of QPR ProcessAnalyzer installation. After all requirements have been fulfilled, you can continue with the installation and configuration of QPR ProcessAnalyzer. Finally, learn how to manage users and perform other administrative tasks.
