Typification by attribute calculation

The typification can be done by using typification rules, or alternatively, by importing values in specific attributes, the so-called "pretypification".

The attributes can always be calculated separately from typification and process assignment. You can do that by assigning the attributes to the process tree root. This attribute calculation done by runppmimport is processed between merge and typification/measure calculation.

In this way, an EPC typification can be applied by importing or calculating the attributes AT_PROCTYPEGROUP and AT_PROCTYPE. If these are set typification will use their values instead of using the typification rules as described above.

Attributes AT_PROCTYPE and AT_PROCTYPEGROUP:
