Process Details - Process Step Metrics Chart (since release 7.0)

This chart displays total occurrences of each metric for every step of the process, within the selected period:

  • Number of times step has been started (1)
  • Number of times step has been completed (or approved for decision steps, 2)
  • Number of times step has been rejected (3)
  • Number of times when step has been late (completed later than in planned time, 4)
  • Number of times step has been escalated (5)
  • Number of times step has been re-assigned (because of escalations or manually, 6)
  • Number of reminders, triggered on step (7)
  • Average duration of the step (by all instances matching selected period, 8)
  • Step Rating (Health) - property that is calculated based on the occurrences of different step metrics (Completed, Escalated, etc.). The higher the Health value, the more closely the step adheres to the desired resolution timing (9)

Numbers of Starts (1), completions (2), and rejections (3) do not consider flow restarts in this chart.

Note: number of rejections (3) will be shown only if decision steps exist in the process.

When clicked on the Step name (10), user is navigated to the Step Statistics screen (see below) where several charts related to this step will be displayed.

Also the chart has the ability to show trends:

  • Trends are calculated for each metric against the identical previous period. Trends and are indicated with arrows (11). For metrics with an objective value of the trend, a green arrow indicates a positive trend, while a red arrow indicates a negative trend. Black arrow indicate trend that does not have positive/negative meaning. Light gray arrow shows that no changes happened in comparison of previous period.
  • Trends can be switched off by the toggle at the bottom (12).
  • Trends are not available if select "All time" period to show.
  • If mouseover a trend icon (an arrow), a tooltip with more detailed information will be shown. This information includes property change (13), current selected period (14) and previous period to be compared with (15). Previous period has the same length (considering different number of days in months and years).

If the process has subprocesses, and they are turned on at the Totals tab ("display sub-process steps" switcher is on, 18), Process Step Metrics chart will display information about subprocesses too:

  • Names of subprocesses (18) that will open Process Details page of proper subprocess when clicked (in a new browser tab)
  • Information of subprocess steps (19) in the same way as for parent process steps

Steps that have subprocesses as far as subprocesses can be collapsed or expanded with proper buttons (20)

By default steps of subprocesses are shown in tree view that represents the structure of parent and child processes, like in Gantt chart. But by turning toggler (21) off this view can be switched to linear (22). In this view each process and subprocess steps are grouped together - that can be useful if user wants to pay attention on some particular process/subprocess only. Processes can also be collapsed or expanded (23).
