Assign data columns of a PPM context

If you have configured a Process Mining context for your dashboard, you need only assign the data columns provided by the Process Mining context to the elements of the dashboard widgets (Assign data (2/2) dialog). You do not have to assign a data source to each widget first (Assign data (1/2) dialog). The Process Mining context is automatically assigned to all widgets in the dashboard that have no data source assigned.

By default, the PPM context provides all data columns of the PPM system. For the Process Variants widget, the columns are automatically filtered, and the PPM context provides only the variant dimension and numeric columns available.

Procedure

  1. Click the Process Variants widget on the dashboard. The relevant properties dialog is displayed.
  2. Click assign data Assign data to edit the data source assignment. The Assign data (2/2) dialog is displayed.

    Here you can assign the data source columns to the individual widget elements. See Settings for details.

  3. Assign the data columns of the PPM context to the widget elements using drag and drop.
  4. Click the assigned columns to specify the columns settings. See Settings for details.
  5. Click OK to save your settings.

The widget shows the variants as a bar chart based on the data of the assigned data source.

If you do not want to use context-based data columns, you can assign any other data source provided. You can change the data source by clicking Use other data. The Assign data (1/2) dialog opens. Here you can assign any data source provided. If you assign another data source, you cannot reassign the PPM context to the dashboard widget. For details, see chapter Assign data sources.

If required, you can adjust the list of data columns provided for the data columns assignment. Click Edit PPM context to edit the data columns specified in the PPM context.
