What is new

Custom tables

As your business processes may have a data model that requires more tables than the tables available for the default app templates, you can now add new tables and create relations. You can use these additional tables in your process app, and enrich your dashboards with filters and KPIs created on these tables to add extra value to your business processes.

You can now view and edit the data model for your process app in Data transformations.

See Adding tables for more information on how to add tables and data model requirements.

Data manager

You can now also remove a table that does not contain fields that are used in charts or metrics. See Data manager.

Conformance checking

The new Conformance checking dashboard contains information that will help you determine whether the process complies with the Discover process model or the Import BPMN model.

Conformance checking enables you to detect inefficiencies, compliance issues, process enhancement opportunities, and discrepancies between the actual process and the reference process model.

Note:

The Conformance checking dashboard is 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.

See Conformance checking.

Improvements

SAP Ariba extractor

A new version of the SAP Ariba extractor is available. This extractor can be used in combination with the Purchase-to-Pay and Vendor Sourcing app templates.

See also Extending the SAP Ariba extraction tool.

Data manager

A preview of the metric calculation is now displayed in the Edit KPI panel.

See Data manager.

What is new

Process manager

With Process manager you can view the process model that is used as reference in the model-based Process Mining applications. You can export the model as a Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) 2.0 model, which enables you to import the file in a BPMN modeler, for example BPMN.io, or to import the BPMN file in another process app.

Process manager is integrated in the dashboard editor.

See Process manager.

Published process apps

You can export the process model as a Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) 2.0 diagram using the Export as a BPMN 2.0 diagram option in the context menu of the process graph.

Note:

The Export to BPMN 2.0 diagram option exports the as-is process as a BPMN process diagram.

Process-specific terminology in Custom process apps

When creating a new process app using the following app templates, the dashboards in the published process app now use process-specific terminology for fields and metrics, rather than the generic terminology used in the Custom process app template.

• Jira Incident-Management

• Salesforce-Account-Management

• Salesforce Configure-Price-Quote

• SAP Accounts-Payable

• SAP Equipment-Maintenance

• SAP Production-Planning

• SAP Warehouse-Management

Additionally, the data transformations have been simplified to make them easier to customize. Output tables are now located in the group where they are created, and are no longer repeated in the 5_business_logic group. For example, the Cases table is in the 2_objects group, and the Event_log in the 4_event_logs group.

Process inefficiencies

You can identify inefficiencies, such as low automations, directly from the process graph. This will help to to detect prossible issues in your process from the process graph. See Working with process graphs.

Improvements

Data manager

• In addition to the division operator (/), you can now select the addition (+), subtraction (-), and multiplication (x) operators in rules when using multiple aggregations for creating metrics.

• You can now use constant values in metric calulations with the new Input value aggregation option.

See Data manager.

Editing data transformations

When you edit a .sql file it is now indicated in the Transformations folder structure that there are unsaved changes.

See Editing and testing data transformations.
