Filtering in QPR ProcessAnalyzer

There are two types of filtering available in QPR ProcessAnalyzer: Runtime Selection and Include / Exclude Filters.

Runtime Selection

A runtime selection filter is applied when event types, transitions, cases, or attributes are selected and you click on any other analysis button on the ribbon except the Flowchart button. The data on the view that is opened will then be filtered based on what was selected. The runtime selection is not a persistent filter, so it is not added to the Filter History. In addition, opening the Flowchart analysis will clear the runtime selection.

Include / Exclude Filters

Using the Include Only and Exclude buttons, it is possible to filter the data. Depending on the active view, the buttons do the following:

Flowchart Analysis View with 1..n Event Types Selected, 1..m Transitions selected

• Exclude

• Exclude

The filtered view that is created will be available in the Filter Manager.

Note that if you use attribute values with exponents so that the value is bigger than 1E15 (that is, 1 times 10 to the power of 15) or smaller than 1E-15, the filtering does not work correctly. For example, if you have such cost as 2,31176835E+21 and 9,43E-15 and you select these attribute values for filtering, they will give incorrect results.
