Operators and operands for scripted definitions

Create your scripted definitions using the following syntax.

Aggregation operators

Aggregation operators are available only for measures.

Average (AVG)

Calculates the average of all matching field values.

AVG(field: string[, considerDistinct[=(true|false)]])

The following syntax applies to enhanced scripted measures only!

AVG(field: string[, FILTER(filter: Filter)][, (considerDistinct|ignoreGlobalFilter|ignoreDimensions)[=(true|false)]]*)

Count (CT)

Calculates the count of all matching field values.

CT(field: string[, considerDistinct[=(true|false)]])
CT(field: string[, FILTER(filter: Filter)][, (considerDistinct|ignoreGlobalFilter|ignoreDimensions)[=(true|false)]]*)

Count distinct values (CTD)

Calculates the count distinct values of all matching field values.

CTD(field: string)
CTD(field: string[, FILTER(filter: Filter)][, (ignoreGlobalFilter|ignoreDimensions)[=(true|false)]]*)

Maximum (MAX)

Calculates the maximum of all matching field values.

MAX(field: string)
MAX(field: string[, FILTER(filter: Filter)][, (ignoreGlobalFilter|ignoreDimensions)[=(true|false)]]*)

Minimum (MIN)

Calculates the minimum of all matching field values.

MIN(field: string)
MIN(field: string[, FILTER(filter: Filter)][, (ignoreGlobalFilter|ignoreDimensions)[=(true|false)]]*)

Median(MED)

Calculates the median of all matching field values.

MED(field: string)
MED(field: string[, FILTER(filter: Filter)][, (ignoreGlobalFilter|ignoreDimensions)[=(true|false)]]*)

Standard deviation (STDDEV)

Calculates the standard deviation of all matching field values.

STDDEV(field: string)
STDDEV(field: string[, FILTER(filter: Filter)][, (ignoreGlobalFilter|ignoreDimensions)[=(true|false)]]*)

Sum (SUM)

Calculates the sum of all matching field values.

SUM(field: string[, considerDistinct[=(true|false)]])
SUM(field: string[, FILTER(filter: Filter)][, (considerDistinct|ignoreGlobalFilter|ignoreDimensions)[=(true|false)]]*)

No aggregation (NOAGGR, only supported in legacy mode)

Does not aggregate the values.

NOAGGR(field: string)

Ratio (RATIO, only supported in legacy mode)

Calculates the ratio of all matching field values. User-defined aggregation rule that allows to calculate the ratio of a measure for specific cases or activities relative to other cases or activities.

RATIO(aggregation(field: string), condition[, considerDistinct[=(true|false)]])

You can find various examples of using the RATIO operator in the Script examples chapter.

Flags

IGNORE_DIMENSIONS

Calculates the aggregation without taking any dimensions from the query into account, therefore resulting in a single value per component.

Example 38.

SUM("_ARIS.Case"."Number of cases", ignoreDimensions)



IGNORE_GLOBAL_FILTERS

Calculates the aggregation without taking the global filters into account.

Example 39.

AVG("_ARIS.Case"."Case duration", ignoreGlobalFilters)



CONSIDER_DISTINCT

Calculates the aggregation by considering each encountered row of the fact table only once. For more details, see the chapter Consider objects distinct.

Example 40.

SUM("factTable","amount", considerDistinct)



Arithmetic

Combines two values.

/ | * | - | +
Example 41.

AVG("_ARIS.Activity"."Activity duration") + AVG("_ARIS.Activity"."Activity wait time")



Filters

Defines a filter that is applied to the query additionally. You can attach multiple filters by means of a comma.

FILTER(filter: Filter)
Example 42.

AVG("_ARIS.Case"."Case duration", FILTER(VALUE_MATCHES("_ARIS.Case"."Color", 'green')))



Filter operators

You find more information on the supported filter operators and their use in the Scripting operators and operands chapter.

Operator type

Subtype

Description

Example

Field filter

VALUE_MATCHES

Defines a filter that exactly matches field values.

VALUE_MATCHES("_ARIS.Case"."Color", 'green', 'blue')

Range filter

VALUE_GREATER_THAN | VALUE_LESS_THAN

Define a filter that compares the field value with a numeric or date value.

VALUE_GREATER_THAN("_ARIS.Case"."Costs", 10000)

VALUE_BETWEEN

Defines a filter that compares the field value with a numeric or date range. The upper limit is exclusive.

VALUE_BETWEEN("_ARIS.Case"."Case start time", DATE(2023-01-01) - Date(2024-01-01))

Path filter

DIRECTLY_FOLLOWED_BY

Defines a filter that compares all cases with the specified activity sequence occurring. The second activity must follow the first activity.

DIRECTLY_FOLLOWED_BY('Activity A', 'Activity B')

EVENTUALLY_FOLLOWED_BY

Defines a filter that compares all cases with the specified activity sequence occurring. The second activity must eventually follow the first activity.

EVENTUALLY_FOLLOWED_BY('Activity A', 'Activity B')

Activity filter

CASE_STARTS_WITH

Defines a filter that compares all cases that start with any of the provided activities.

CASE_STARTS_WITH('Activity A', 'Activity B')

CASE_PASSES_THROUGH

Defines a filter that compares all cases that pass through ALL of the provided activities.

CASE_PASSES_THROUGH('Activity A', 'Activity B')

CASE_PASSES_THROUGH_ANY

Defines a filter that compares all cases that pass through any of the provided activities.

CASE_PASSES_THROUGH_ANY('Activity A', 'Activity B')

CASE_ENDS_WITH

Defines a filter that compares all cases that end with any of the provided activities.

CASE_ENDS_WITH('Activity A', 'Activity B')

Not

NOT

Inverts the specified filter.

NOT(VALUE_MATCHES("_ARIS.Case"."Color", 'green', 'blue'))

Null

NULL_NUMBER | NULL_TEXT | NULL_DATE

Null values can be used as constant values.

VALUE_MATCHES("_ARIS.Case"."Color", NULL_TEXT)

Granularity

Specifies a granularity for a date field.

CTD(YEARS("_ARIS.Case"."Case start time"))
