## UiPath Process Mining Superadmin

**UiPath Process Mining** Superadmin page is used for collaboratively developing, maintaining, and deploying apps.

The App Developer develops or customizes discovery accelerators or apps. To make the app ready for roll-out, Tags, Performance indicators (KPI’s) and named variants can be added to the app, so it fits the context of the business users. The App Developer then deploys this app to end-users so they can easily analyze and monitor their processes.

See [App and Discovery Accelerator development](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/standalone/2021.10/user-guide/app-and-discovery-accelerator-development#app-and-discovery-accelerator-development)

## TemplateOne

**TemplateOne** is a fully customizable, flexible, and re-useable starting point to develop advanced Process Mining applications and dashboards. Similar to **AppOne**, **TemplateOne** provides a set of out-of-the-box dashboards. **TemplateOne** is more customizable and simplified compared to **AppOne**.**TemplateOne** is the starting point of customization into something more process-specific, for example, a discovery accelerator. It offers the flexibility to add process-specific dashboards, metrics, and KPI's.

See [Getting Started with TemplateOne](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/standalone/2021.10/user-guide/getting-started-with-templateone-1-0-0#getting-started-with-templateone).

## AppOne

**AppOne** is the ready-to-use **UiPath Process Mining** standard app for gaining insights on processes, carrying out root-cause analysis, and for continuous monitoring. Using **AppOne**, you can start analyzing your process immediately, without having to create a new app from scratch.

See [Introduction to AppOne](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/standalone/2021.10/user-guide/introduction-to-appone#introduction-to-appone).

## Purchase-to-Pay Discovery Accelerator

The **Purchase-to-Pay Discovery Accelerator** is a ready-to-use **UiPath Process Mining** standard discovery accelerator for analyzing and monitoring the Purchase-to-Pay process based on input data from, for example, your SAP system. It simplifies process analysis and monitoring for procurement and order-management stakeholders through predefined metrics (such as throughput times and on-time delivery rates) and dashboards tailored to business outcomes critical to the success of their respective departments. Multiple views on the end-to-end Purchase-to-Pay process are available, tailored to the needs of each stakeholder.

## Order-to-Cash Discovery Accelerator

The **Order-to-Cash Discovery Accelerator** is a ready-to-use **UiPath Process Mining** standard discovery accelerator for analyzing and monitoring the Order-to-Cash process based on input data from, for example, your SAP system. It simplifies process analysis and monitoring through predefined metrics (such as throughput times and delivery rates) and dashboards tailored to business outcomes critical to the success of their respective departments. Multiple views on the end-to-end Order-to-Cash process are available, tailored to the needs of each stakeholder.

## Connectors

A connector is used to load data for the components mentioned above, using the following steps.

![docs image](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/process-mining/process-mining-docs-image-54873-32a9edd4-47c48f28.webp)

The table below describes the different steps.

| Step | Name | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **Extract** | The data is extracted from source systems. |
| 2 | **Transform** | The data is transformed to make it ready for **UiPath Process Mining**. The data can be enriched with additional business logic. |
| 3 | **Load** | The data is loaded into **UiPath Process Mining** for analysis using dashboards. |

The **Extract** and **Transform** steps are combined in a connector. There are two types of connectors: SQL connectors and MVP connectors. MVP connectors, such as the **Basic Connector for AppOne**, have the file extension `.mvp`. Below is an overview of the differences between SQL connectors and MVP Connectors.

| SQL connectors | MVP connectors |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Language | SQL | UiPath Process Mining expression language |
| Compatible with Process Mining Cloud | Yes | No |
| MS SQL Server database needed | Yes | No |

*SQL connectors* are recommended over *MVP connectors*. SQL connectors are:
* easier to adapt and maintain. The Structured Query Language (SQL) is a language that is mastered by many people that use and work with data.
* compatible with UiPath Process Mining Cloud, which only supports SQL connectors. This means that transitioning to UiPath Process Mining Cloud is easier when SQL connectors are used.
  :::note
  From release 22.4 and onwards, the new connectors developed and provided by UiPath will be SQL connectors.
  :::
A Microsoft SQL Server database is required for using SQL connectors to run the transformations on.

For more information on SQL connectors, see [Introduction to SQL connectors](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/standalone/2021.10/user-guide/introduction-to-sql-connectors#introduction-to-sql-connectors).

See the **Discover** section in the [Product lifecycle](https://docs.uipath.com/overview/other/latest/overview/product-lifecycle) page for an overview of all apps and connectors available for Process Mining.
