Navigation Menu

The navigation menu can be opened by clicking the dashboard or view name in the header. In the beginning of the menu, for a quick access there is a list of all dashboards in the project, where the selected model is located. Also the following functionalities are available in the navigation menu:

Home

The Home view is opened by default when login in QPR ProcessAnalyzer, and it has quick access buttons to the most common functionalities.

Process Discovery

The Process Discovery is a starting point for an analysis to discover and visualize processes. The Chart on the right side allows the creation of customized charts to answer specific business needs, with measures and dimensions the user has selected. The flowchart on the left shows the process drawn as a conventional process flowchart.

Conformance Checking

Conformance Analysis incorporates the Conformance Checking capability of QPR ProcessAnalyzer. There are two dashboards that belong to the conformance analysis: the nonconformance reasons and the possible root causes for the nonconformance.

Clustering Analysis

Clustering Analysis analyzes through the process mining data, and divides cases into similar groups based on case attributes and occurred types of events. Use it to get a deep understanding of the analyzed process mining data and also to validate the data.

Enhanced BPMN

The Enhanced BPMN dashboard is for designing BPMN diagrams and visualizing process mining KPI's in BPMN diagrams. Also filtering based on conformance and process flow in the BPMN diagram can be created.

Workspace

Project workspace is for managing projects, dashboards, datatables and scripts.

Model Manager

Model Manager shows all available models, and it can be used to manage their memory loading status. One or several models can be selected (multiselect with Ctrl key pressed) and they can be loaded into memory and drop them from the memory. Functionalities available in the context menu:

• Refresh: The view contents is reloaded from the server to get the latest status of the models.
• Load Model: The selected model(s) are loaded into the memory.
• Drop Model: The selected model(s) are dropped from the memory to free memory resources.
• Reload Model: The selected model(s) are dropped from the memory and loaded again into the memory. Use the reloading to get the latest model data, e.g. when new data is loaded into the model.
• Open Model: The selected model is opened in the Process Discovery view. Note that if the model loading takes much time, it might be better to use the Load Model function first, because that loads the model in background.
• Model Properties: Open the Model Properties dialog.
• Export Model: Export the model as a .pacm file. The .pacm file can be imported into another QPR ProcessAnalyzer environment.
• Excel Export: Export the table of models to Excel.

More columns can be added to the table by clicking the Columns button in the top right and clicking check boxes for the additional columns. Note that the new columns appear to the right and they can be seen by scrolling the table to the right.

The models list can be sorted by any column by clicking the column header. Visible models can also be filtered by clicking the filter icon next to the column header.

Manage Users

Manage Users dialog is for administrators to manage users, groups, roles and permissions in the system. It's also possible to view the effective permissions for audit purposes.

Benchmark Performance

Benchmark Performance dialog tests how long it takes to run the presets, and based on that gives a report of the performance of the system. You can choose which presets to run (by default all) and how many times each preset is run (by default three times). You can choose not to run certain presets to make the benchmarking quicker or if for some reason, certain presets give error. Running each presets more times give more predictable result. Presets are run in a random order to further reduce the effect of random variation in the results.

When the run is completed, you can click the Export Results button to download a report in a text file. The report contains all run results and also basic information about the system and the model. The results show for each presets the average, median, fastest, slowest and standard deviation of the results, and in addition a sum of these measures for all presets.

System Reports

System reports dialog is available for administrators, showing essential system level information, such as recent tasks, running tasks, task statistics and listings of different kind of objects in the system. The reports can also be modified using the other available tabs in the settings (note that the settings cannot be saved).

Query Designer

Query Designer is for testing QPR ProcessAnalyzer KPI language queries that contain

• root expression to select objects to be analysed
• dimension expressions to slice the analyzed object into slices
• measure expressions to calculate KPI's and other measures from each of the slices
• data can also be sorted and number of rows limited

The expressions are written in the left side using a JSON format. When the Run Query button is clicked, the defined query is run and results appear to a table in the right side. Details of the JSON format can be found in QPR ProcessAnalyzer Expression Analysis.

Expression Designer

Expression Designer is used to run individual expressions in a generic context. Write the expressions in the upper box and the results appear in the lower box. The expressions can be run by clicking the Run All button which run all expressions in the upper box. It's also possible to select parts of the expressions and click the Run Selection button to only run the selected parts. If there are errors in the run, cursor is automatically moved to the point where the error occurred.

User Settings

The User Settings is used to change user language, change password and view system and session related information. When changing password, you need to provide your current password and also confirm the new password. Note that when authenticated using an external SAML 2.0 identity provided, the password changing is not available here.

Sign out

The user session can be signed out, which also clears all cached information in the browser side. When using a personal computer, signing out is normally not needed from the security point of view, but if there are other users in the same computer, it's important to sign out after using the system.
