Hi all I am currenlty investigating very basic Visualizations in Process Explorer.

Ultimately I want the User to be able to include/exclude Activities in a matter where they are actually excluded form the the Directly Follows relations which are the edges of the graph.

 

 

as a minimal example lets say I have only Act A, Act B and Act C and only one case with variant A->B ->C.

If B gets deselected I want the process explorer show to show A->C then. The existing Graph Control Panel only hides the activities so it would actually remove B and A->B and A-> and no data remains.

 

I just stumbled across the REMAP VALUE (Activitycol, ('B', NULL)) PQL which would allows me to create a second event log in KM where I can then do the REMAP but only preemtively and hardcoded. I want the user to give some degree of freedom and customization the dashboard to select either a whole Event Log to be used (then I would just prepare 2 or 3) or actually do a select on the activities itself.

 

Does someone had similar use cases and ideas on how to tackle it? I am using the newest View for the project.

    Hi Manuel, 

    I need exactly the same. Our business users would like to see the process without certain activity but still keeping the cases which include it.

    So far, I could not find any option how the end users could do it.

     

    Have you eventually find some kind of solution for this case?

     

    Thank you very much.

    Hi,

    you can map activities to NULL then they don’t show up  anywhere in the Process Explorer.
    In the Process Explorer’s settings under “General Options”->”Custom Dimention” use

    CASE
      WHEN "ACTIVITY"."Name" = 'Act B' THEN NULL
      ELSE "ACTIVITY"."Name"
    END

    The name of the activity can be replaced by a variable containing a list of multiple activity names. That would give you something like:

    CASE
      WHEN "ACTIVITY"."Name" in ('<%=excluse_list%>') THEN NULL
      ELSE "ACTIVITY"."Name"
    END


    Hope this helps,
    br Florian
