Process Mining
Manage deviations and Conformance checking are only available for apps that are using a process model. Which means process apps that were created using the Discover process model or the Import BPMN model.
Check out Process models and Working with Discover process models and Import BPMN models for more information.
With Conformance checking you can determine whether the process complies with the Discover process model or the Import BPMN model. It enables you to detect deviations such as compliance issues, process enhancement opportunities, and discrepancies between the actual process and the reference process model.
In particular situations, not all the deviations that are detected by default using Conformance checking, should be marked as actual deviations. For example, if the detected deviation is not a real problem in the context of your actual business process, you may not want to focus on the deviation and hide it from the Conformance checking dashboard.
Managing deviations allows you to mark deviations as conforming. In this way, you can define that the deviations will not be taken into account in the calculations for the Conformance rate and the number of deviations, and also will not be visible in the Conformance checking dashboard. You can undo this at any time and set the deviation back to non-conforming.
In the Conformance checking dashboard in the dashboard editor, select the Manage deviations button to open Manage deviations. The Manage deviations page is displayed, showing the deviations detected for your process. You must have edit permissions for the app to clone the app.
The following table describes the elements.
|
Element |
Description |
|
Deviation |
The name of the deviation. |
|
Deviation type |
The deviation type. Refer to Conformance checking for a description of the deviation types. |
|
Number of cases | The total number of cases. |
|
Avg. throughput time | The average time it takes to execute the end-to-end process. |
|
Conforming |
Option to mark a deviation as conforming. |
|
Show on process graph | Displays a process graph in Conformance view showing all cases that are part of the deviation. Viewing this deviation on the
process graph highlights the cases in which it occurs. Note that these cases may also contain other deviations, which will
be displayed as well.
Tip: Select a deviation from the drop-down list to view it on the process graph. This allows you to quickly switch between deviations.
|
Follow these steps to mark a deviation as conforming.
-
In the dashboard editor, select Conformance checking, to display the Conformance checking dashboard.
- Select Manage deviations. The Manage deviations page displays.
- Locate the deviation you want to set as conforming.
-
Enable the Conforming option in the for the deviation.
The deviation is marked as conforming and a blue dot is displayed indicating that the conforming status for the deviation has changed.
When you mark one or more deviations as conforming, a chart filter is created in the Conformance checking dashboard. When business users open the Conformance checking dashboard, the Deviations chart will only display the non-conforming deviations. Refer to Editing a chart for more information on Chart level filters.
