Data field properties

On the Data Field Properties dialog, select a data field in the current isolated region, and specify its properties for the Process Analyzer.

See About data fields for general information regarding using workflow data fields as dimensions and measures.

NOTE The maximum length of a data field on the Process Analyzer Engine is 64 characters.

  1. On the Data Field properties page, select Show system fields to display available system fields in the Field list, or clear Show system fields to display user-defined fields in the Field list. The list displays fields in the current isolated region.
  2. In the Field list, select a field name.
  3. In the Unique Name field, enter a name for this data field. Since the Process Analyzer processes data fields from all isolated regions, there can be multiple data fields of the same name from different isolated regions. Therefore, you must provide a name that is unique among all exposed data fields for all isolated regions.
  4. You cannot use a name that is used internally by the Process Analyzer Engine. The following names are reserved:

    Average Completion Time Minutes
    Average Completion Time Hours
    Average Completion Time Days
    Avg. Completion Time Minutes
    Avg. Completion Time Hours
    Avg. Completion Time Days
    Completed Work Item Count
    Completed Workflow Count

    Cycle Time Minutes
    Data Source
    Incoming
    Outgoing
    Productivity Count
    Queue
    Queue Load
    Status
    User
    Time
    Time Usage Minutes
    Work Item Count
    Workflow
    Workflow Count
    Workflow Definition
    Workload
  5. Specify how to expose the data field: Dimension or Measure. To better understand the use of dimensions and measures, see the Online Transaction Analysis Processing (OLAP) overview.

    Dimension: Any data type can be a dimension.

    Measure: Define measures as aggregate values. A measure must be data type integer or float. The default aggregation function for a measure is Sum.

  6. Select the Cubes where the data will be exposed. Use the following table as a guideline.

    Cube name Description
    Work in progress

    Real time—workflows, queues, steps. Not users.

    The work items are the finest granularity.

    Workflow Processing Time Historical. Workflow level
    Workload
    Work item processing time Historical. Queue-, user-, step-level information
    Queue load

  7. Optionally define ranges of values to aggregate values for dimensions of data type integer, float, or time. Each range is defined by two boundary values—(lower value+1) to the higher value.

    To add a boundary value to the list, enter the value in the Boundary field, then click Add.

    For example, for boundary values 500, 1000, 2550

500 range includes 1 to 500
1000 range includes 501 to 1000
2550 range includes 1001 to 2550
