Process Log
The Process Log sheet provides a detailed, event-level view of process instances in their raw form, highlighting the most relevant fields. It allows you to trace each process from start to finish and identify who (or what system) performed each activity, making it possible to distinguish between automated and manual steps. This enables precise tracking for audits, deviation detection, and technical debugging of the log generation.

The fields marked with OCPM are only displayed in the Process Log sheet if an OCPM-specific event log has been mined. Take a look at the following article How to Create an Event Log for OCPM to learn more about creating an event log for OCPM.
