Configure process data

You must configure the source data so that ARIS Process Mining can use the data to perform process analyses. That means, you must specify the columns of the uploaded source table that contain the case IDs, activities and timestamps. In any case, this information is needed to recreate the processes from the source data. The data set must contain exactly one activity table.
