Process Mining

Last updated Jan 15, 2026

Mapping input tables

Note: The required tables for the process app are displayed in the Required tables section on the Select data source page.
  1. Drag and drop the files required for the input tables of the process app, or use the Select files icon to select the files from your computer. The file or files are uploaded.
    Note: If any required tables are missing, you can upload additional files using the +Upload file(s) option.
    A new table is added in the Source tables section for each uploaded file and is automatically mapped to the related input table in the Target tables section.
    Tip: A blue dot indicates that new data was uploaded for the table. This can be either for a new table, or an existing table.
  2. Make sure each table is mapped to the correct target table. If required, select a different table from the Target tables list to correct the mapping.
  3. Select Next. The Fields page is displayed where you can continue with mapping the input fields.

If you upload a file that is not listed as a required table, a new table is automatically added in the Source tables section for each uploaded file and a corresponding input table is created in the Target tables section. By default, the file name of the uploaded file is used as the name of the tables.

Note: A warning message is displayed indicating the table needs configuration before data can be uploaded for the table. When a new table is uploaded, it becomes available in data transformations. However, further steps are required to make this data visible on the dashboards. First, the table data must be loaded using a SQL query. Then, the table should be incorporated into the data model of the process app. Refer to Data models for more information on how to add a table in the data model.

Mapping input tables

Your input data must meet the data model defined for your app. If needed, you can map a Source table to a different Target table.

Configuring input tables

The settings for the target input table are automatically detected and you just need to check them.

Follow these steps to edit the settings for an input table.

  1. Locate the table you want to configure and select the Edit table icon to open the Edit table panel for the selected table.
  2. Edit the settings as desired and select Save.

The following table describes the table settings.

SettingDescription
Table nameThe name of the input table in Data transformations.
Mandatory

Option to define the table as mandatory.

If TRUE, the table will be required later when publishing or importing the process app. If the table is not uploaded then, an error is thrown. If FALSE, the table is considered as Optional., when publishing or importing the app. If the table is not uploaded then, an empty table will be created such that subsequent SQL queries will not fail.
AutodetectEnables you to identify field types in the input file and automatically apply the detected field types to the corresponding fields in the target table.
EncodingThe encoding used in the file.
DelimiterThe delimiter separating the different fields.
Line endingThe character that is used to denote the end of a line and the start of a new one.
Quote characterThe quote character used in case fields are wrapped within quotes.
Escape characterThe escape character used to correctly interpret characters that would otherwise be treated as special control characters (such as quotes or delimiters).
Note: By default, the selected Quote character is used as the escape character. Alternatively, you can select the backslash (\) as the escape character.
Load typeThe load type for the table.
Note: If you select Incremental as the Load type, you must specify additional settings to configure incremental load for the table.

Removing a source file

If you accidentally select a source file while uploading source data, you can remove it from the Input data screen.
Note: A source file can only be removed if no data has been uploaded for it.
Follow these steps to remove a source file.
  1. Locate the source file you want to remove in the Source tables list.
  2. Hover your mouse over the table, and select Remove file.
The input file is removed.
