Minit 5.4: Mining Attribute, Oracle Database, Median & Quantiles Calculations, and More

Mining Attribute Selection

Tired of seeing only activity-based process maps? Some call it "multidimensional mining", but why use big words when we are talking just about a Mining Attribute Selection.

To see your process map from a different perspective – e.g., how your process flows between departments, plants, regions, etc. instead of activities – just choose your desired attribute in the process map. Minit will recalculate and visualize, on the fly, the analysis results, including performance analysis, finance, or rework detection. And to not forget, you can choose a different attribute in Variant analysis as well!

Mining Attribute in Process Map Widget

Process Map Widget is generated by activity or resource attribute. In some cases (for some processes), it is limiting. With this new functionality, Process Map Widget allows to pick up any other meaningful attribute as the mining attribute. This way, you can visualize the Process Map Widget from a different angle – the map flow will be shown from the viewpoint of other attribute, e.g. flow between departments or regions.

Supported Data Source: Oracle DB

Importing your process data to Minit is now possible also using Oracle DB as a data source. Connection to the Oracle DB is implemented the same way as for any other data source. You can load data directly from a table, view, stored procedure or by a custom SQL query. Within the Project Hub, click Add Process button and follow the Import Wizard instructions.

Custom Metrics: Median & Quantiles Calculations

New custom metrics operators calculate median, quantiles, and cumulative distribution function over defined data scope. For more details, see Custom metrics – Statistical Operations in Minit Help. Please note that Minit Dashboards do not reflect the median calculation. Hence, there is a difference between Minit Analyst and Minit Dashboards calculation.

Sequence Filter Support for Parallel Activities

The sequence filter is now able to work with parallel activities. New options allow the user to precisely select the filtering criteria. The options are:

• is parallel with
• is not parallel with
• is directly followed by or parallel with
• is followed by or parallel with

Minit Sequence Filter

Important note to a fixed issue

In the Minit Analyst, we have fixed the issue “Event-level filters defined in the Business Rule are not applied after all Process View filters”. In order to update the data in Minit Dashboards, please note that it is important to republish views with applied event-level filters to Minit Dashboards.

Analyst Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Improvement: Application audit log now stores identification of the user performing a particular operation in Minit Analyst
• Update: Multi-spring layout removed from Social chart display options
• FIX: Custom metric operator ISPARALLEL marks cases as parallel if they contain events that end and start at the same time (no overlap between these events)
• FIX: User is able to select cluster and hierarchies for circular or multi-spring social charts, which do not support cluster or hierarchy display
• FIX: Show terminal nodes switch not correctly interpreted in Simulation BPMN model
• FIX: Event-level filters are not applied sequentially in order as defined by the user
• FIX: Event-level filters defined in the Business Rule are not applied after all Process View filters
• WARNING: Republish views with applied event-level filters to Minit Dashboards
• FIX: Applied calendar stays in the View Settings in case the process data is missing the “event start” column after data refresh
• FIX: Unable to save Business Rule with the defined custom output after changed Business Rule scope
• FIX: The scheduled job is saved with an undefined repetition interval, causing job repetitions every second

• FIX: It is not possible to collapse hierarchy cluster in the process map, after editing map cluster hierarchy
• FIX: Event-level filter defined for Business rule is incorrectly evaluated before Case level filters for actual View
• FIX: Event-level filters are evaluated in a different order as they are displayed to user in filter panels
• FIX: Import Wizard allows to set NULL value for stored procedure argument when the argument is non-nullable
• FIX: Incorrect average waiting time visualization for activity in simulation detail view
• FIX: Selected hierarchical map cluster in process map is cleared out after change data structure and re-import
