**Event analysis** is the main dashboard where you can analyze the events that occur in the Purchase-to-Pay process.

The information displayed in the dashboard is based on the creation date of the purchase order items. The **Period** filter in the **Filter** panel enables you to select a period to display the purchase order items that were created in the selected period.

:::note
Since the process graph displays all purchase order items which are **created** within the selected time period, the graph can also contain changes to these purchase order items that might be outside of the selected period.

## Timestamps

**Throughput time** is the duration between the event end timestamps of two events that follow each other. In this case, waiting time and idle time are also calculated. **Processing time** is the time actually spent on the event. In this case, waiting time and idle time are not taken into account.
