Edit an activity mapping

You can edit an activity mapping. For example, change the mapping of a task and an activity, or add a new activity to the mapping.

Note that if you change the currently activated event log used in your analysis model, the current activity mapping remains unchanged. However, changes are displayed in the current activity mapping, for example, deleted activities in the changed event log are displayed as a User-created activity in the activity mapping.

Prerequisites

You created an activity mapping.

Procedure. Procedure

  1. Open the data set that contains the reference process with the mapping you want to edit.

  2. Click Reference processes in the data set panel. The Reference processes section opens with the Reference processes page. The page lists all reference processes that are available for the data set.

  3. Click a name of a reference process. The page with the mapping opens.

  4. To undo a mapping, move the mouse pointer over a mapped element and click the Refresh Reset icon.

  5. To remove the Ignored label from a task, move the mouse pointer over the task and click the Refresh Reset set icon.

  6. To remove the Ignored or Unwanted label from an activity, move the mouse pointer over the activity and click the Refresh Reset set icon.

  7. Click Auto-Map Automatic mapping to automatically map the tasks and activities of the same name. If no identical names exist, the option is not available.

  8. You can map tasks and activities manually.

    1. First select a task or an activity on one of the two sides. The selected element is placed at the top of the list, all other elements are grayed out.

    2. Select the element to be mapped according to your first selection on the other side. The mapped elements are connected and placed on the same line below the unmapped elements.

  9. You can mark a task or an activity as ignored ignored. The marked element is not used for the conformance analysis. Move the mouse pointer over an element and click ignored Mark as ignored. The element is crossed out.

  10. You can mark an activity as unwanted unwanted. The marked element is considered in the analysis as an "is unwanted" issue type. Move the mouse pointer over an element and click unwanted Mark as unwanted. The element is crossed out.

  11. You can see whether a task has already been mapped to an activity and use this mapping.

    1. Move the mouse pointer over a task.

    2. Click the Show mappings Show other mappings button. Existing mappings are shown, if available.

    3. Select a mapping. The selected mapping is assigned to the task.

  12. You can add a new activity that does not yet exists in the data set, for example, if you want to include a task in your analysis, but there is no matching activity yet.

    1. Click + Add activity.

    2. Enter a name and click Add.

      The new activity is added to the activity list. To delete the activity, move the mouse pointer over the activity and click the delete Delete icon.

  13. Click Activate mapping Update mapping to save and activate the mapping for the data set.

  14. If required, click Recalculate to (re) calculate the conformance. ARIS Process Mining calculates the respective conformance of the cases and load it into the data set.

You changed an activity mapping and loaded it into the data set.

Go back to the Reference process page. The Mapping state of the reference process is set to Modified.

If you want to use the mapping in the Compliance app to analyze the conformance of your processes, select the reference process and click Select for conformance check.
