Add Observed Process

Observed process can be used to represent the observable events and steps of your process. You can use this procedure to add an observed process to the visibility scenario.

Prerequisites

You have chosen Observed Process under the Processes tab to configure an observed process in your visibility scenario.

Context

The process visibility capability supports out-of-the-box visibility for immediate time to value. The observed process provides visibility on processes running elsewhere, or on your operational data where there is no notion of a process. To gain visibility on observed process:

You need to define the events in the visibility scenario model as detailed out in the procedure section.
Push events to Process Visibility.
- For more information on pushing events in Live Process Project, see Push Events.
- For more information on pushing events in Business Process Project, see Push Events to a Visibility Scenario.

Procedure

In the Add Observed Process dialog box, enter a Process ID that represents the process definition or the object type of a process participant.
Enter Process Name and choose Add.

The process is created under the Processes tab.

To add events to the newly created process, perform the following steps in the Steps and Events section:

Choose  Add icon.

In the Add Event dialog box, provide the following details:

Name	Description
Event Type	This field refers to the `eventType` attribute of the event. For more information, see Supported Event Formats.
Event Name	This field represents a human-readable name for the event that is unique across the visibility scenario.

You can choose to configure a Step if it is associated with an event. To configure a step, provide the following details for the step:

Name	Description
Name	This field represents a human-readable name for the step.
ID	This field refers to the ID of the step that is associated with an event.
Type	This field refers to the type of a step in the process. Example User Task, Intermediate Message Event.
Step Status	This field depicts the status of the step based on the event defined. Possible values for step status are Completed, In Progress, Abruptly Ended, and Failed. Example For an Order Created event, the step status could be set as In Progress and for the Order Completed event, the step status could be set as Completed.

Choose OK.
Note
- You can add multiple events by performing the above steps.
- You can edit an event by choosing  Edit icon in the Events section.
- To delete an event, choose  Delete icon.
- You can edit a step by choosing  Edit icon in the Step section.
- Removing a step removes all the events grouped under that step.
- All the events that do not contain step-related information are grouped under Process Events.

To add an icon to a step, choose  Edit icon for the required step and select the desired Icon and Color. The icon will then be visible in the path view for the respective step in Process Workspace.

Note

To configure an icon for a step, both Icon and Color must be configured.

To add context for a process, perform the following steps in the Context section:

Choose  Create New Context icon.

In the Add Context dialog box, provide the following details:

Name	Description
Name	A human-readable name which is unique across the visibility scenario.
ID	ID of the attribute
Path	This field provides the path of the context attribute in the event. For example, path for Candidate ID attribute is CANDIDATE_ID if the event is of the following format: Sample Code { "processDefinitionId": "onboard", "processInstanceId": 3567, "eventType": "CREATED", "timestamp": "2018-08-25T02:07:42Z", "context": { "CANDIDATE_ID": 3361 } }
