Conformance check widget

The Conformance check widget displays the result of a process conformance check performed in PPM. A process conformance check analyzes whether an executed and measured process instance of a production system is compliant with a designed process model in ARIS.

The Conformance check widget shows conformance issues and the influences of the processes with conformance issues compared to the modeled to-be processes.

For details on performing a performance check, please refer to the PPM conformance checking with ARIS document.

The widget provides an overview area and an issue area.

Overview area

By default, the overview area displays the values of the Number of processes measure and up to two additional measures, if these have been configured.

If the aggregation of the measure is average, the impact of the measure is displayed as well.

If no measured values for the additional measures exist for non-compliant or compliant processes, this is indicated by hyphen "-", and no impact is displayed.

If only non-conforming processes exist, no impact is calculated and only the value of the non-compliant processes is displayed for all additional measures.

If no non-conforming issues exist, only the Number of processes measure is displayed with the value "0 vs <Number of conforming processes>".

Issue area

The issue area shows the different issue types and the function that caused the issue. You can select an issue type in the corresponding drop-down menu to filter the issue list. A tooltip displays additional information. The drop-down menu provides all identified issue types. Initially, all available issue types are displayed.

The bar displays the relative value of the non-conforming processes of an issue in relation to the overall non-conforming processes. In the example below, the issue Create contract should not start process was caused by 66% of the non-conforming issues (4833 out of 7303 non-conforming issues).

For measures with an Average aggregation specified, the value next to the bar displays the impact of non-conforming processes compared to the conforming processes.

For measures with a different aggregation type, only the resulting measure value for this issue is displayed.

A hyphen "-" indicates that no measure value could be retrieved. A tooltip displays additional information.

Context filter

You can use the Conformance check widget to set a context filter, and the widget can be filtered by a context filter of another widget. To set a context filter in the widget, select an issue in the issue list. The widget currently provides the coordinates Non-conforming function, Conformance issue type, and Preceding function for context filter. For details on how to define a context filter, refer to the chapter Configure filters for Process Mining context-based widgets.

Actions

The Conformance check widget supports various actions.

Selection

The widget supports the selection from other widgets, that is, other widgets can be used to set a selection in the Conformance check widget. At least the criteria Conformance issue type and Non-conforming function must be configured. Otherwise, it is not possible to select a specific line in the Conformance Check widget.
