Grouping
Grouping is a useful feature to combine activities for a more simple analysis. You may want to group process activities by Department, for example.
- Click "Add Group" and a new group appears in the empty space on the right of the activity list.
- Give your group a name by clicking on the pencil-symbol.
- Drag and drop the activities below the group name.
- You can create several groups or switch activities from one group to another.
- Once your groups are defined click on "Apply Grouping". You can also delete a group by clicking on the "x" icon on its right.
- Remove an activity from a group by clicking on the "x" next to the activity.
- Delete a group by clicking on the "x" next to the group name.
- When done, click "Apply Grouping"
Parent Groups
Creating parent groups is useful because it lets you switch between different levels of detail in the process analyzer.
- High-level analysis of your process (by collapsing the groups)
- Detailed analysis (by expanding the groups)
To create nested groups, with a parent and child group, simply drag one group onto another.
Here are various situations to use nested groups:
- Using the same event log information but displaying only the relevant information to different stakeholders
- Separate activities by department
- Divide between standard process steps and undesired process steps
More information on enable Grouping is found in the Data Engineer Guide.
