Business Rules

New Business Rules feature allows you to evaluate and score custom calculations with user-defined thresholds and limits. Available categories are "Error", "Warning", "OK", or "Unknown".

Business Rules are defined in process context, and thus are available in each process view. By default, Business Rules are calculated over actual view data, but you can the narrow data set by additional business rule filters.

Process Simulations

Process Simulations quickly became one of the most desired modules of Minit and we are dedicated to improving it further.

Current release introduces several changes to move the Simulations experiences to the next level:

• Normal, Lognormal, Triangular - the list of case arrival distributions felt like second graduation. A statistics master's degree is no longer needed to simulate the past. We are introducing Original arrival distribution, which starts cases in the exactly precise manner as they have started in the past - just pick your timespan out of the original event-log and push the Simulate button.
  
  
• Some users have specific simulation scenario in mind, others just want to try different options. The later would like to see the impact of their What-If scenarios immediately, without the need to import the simulated event-log and comparing it in a new process view.  Simulation results have been redesignedand summary performance/cost comparison to the original process model is now just a single on/off switch ahead. Not getting the expected ROI? No problem. Just change the configuration and re-simulate!
  
  
• Financial attributes and cost simulation were visible in the summary Simulation result, but not synced with resulting simulation event-log. That is no longer the case and financial attributes are transferred to the newly imported simulation process as well.

On top of that, we added several bug-fixes and performance improvements (for details, read further).

The standard deployment of Minit is still using Microsoft Azure based simulation engine to run your what-if scenarios.

Based on your feedback, we do offer an on-premises simulation engine installation, using a Docker image. Interested? Just contact our support@minit.io for further details and deployment support.

Custom Metrics 

Powerful Custom Metrics calculation engine is expanded again with new (context) calculation modes and useful operators like MAXVAL, ALL or ANY.

New context modes allow users to combine data among process, view, and business rule data sets. For Case Metric and Event Metric filters user can use expression to evaluate non-aggregated events within single case.
