Reference processes
Reference processes are target (to-be) processes that are modeled in ARIS using models of BPMN or EPC type. In ARIS Process Mining you can compare the reference processes with actually executed process instances and calculate relevant measures and dimensions. Reference processes are the basis for performing process conformance checks and using the Process model overlay app.
Before you can use reference processes in ARIS Process Mining, you must perform the following steps:
Transfer at least one reference process from ARIS to ARIS Process Mining. To do so, you have two options.
Start the process transfer from ARIS Process Mining.
If you want to use an EPC model as reference process for the conformance check or Process model overlay app, you must start the transfer from ARIS Process Mining.
Create an activity mapping for the transferred reference process.
Note
If you want to perform a process conformance check or use the Process model overlay app and you receive a message that there is no reference process or no valid activity mapping, various reasons might be the cause for that.
No reference process has yet been transferred from ARIS.
Reference processes are available, but none of them have a valid activity mapping.
