Add a PPM Chart to a Workspace
Process Performance Manager (PPM) lets you discover and analyze processes in your organization, whether they are managed by a business process management solution (BPMS) or not. Using data sources throughout your enterprise, PPM can model a process and assess its performance across a variety of dimensions. PPM can also mine other data in your enterprise for meaningful patterns, trends, or correlations.
You can include insights from the analyses you perform in PPM in a workspace using the PPM Chart app in MashZone NextGen. This app allows you to add charts that you have created and saved as favorites in PPM to a MashZone NextGen workspace.
Note: | The PPM Chart app is only available in MashZone NextGen if:  A MashZone NextGen administrator has imported this app into MashZone NextGen, configured a connection to the Integrated MashZone Server for MashZone NextGen and configured a connection to the PPM client that hosts the charts you want to work with. PPM is installed, configured and PPM clients are accessible to MashZone NextGen. |
1. In the PPM client that hosts the analysis you want to work with, find the favorite for the chart you want to use and:
a. Right-click the favorite.
b. Select Use in dashboard to copy the URL for this favorite to the clip board.
Note: | You can use most chart types from PPM in MashZone NextGen except for the following: Assessment charts Communications network charts EPC (event-driven process chain) models Relational explorer charts |
2. In Mashboard in MashZone NextGen, create or open the workspace where you want to use this PPM chart.
3. Find the PPM Chart app in the Apps menu and drag it into the desired position in the open workspace.
The PPM Chart app loads and displays a button that you must use to identify the specific PPM chart you want to display in this workspace.
4. Click Select PPM Favorite in the app.
5. Paste the PPM favorite URL that you copied earlier in the URL field.
6. Click Next.
Information about connecting to this chart using the URL for this favorite displays, including the name of the connection to PPM (the Data source).
Note: | If no data source is shown, cancel this configuration for the chart. Ask a MashZone NextGen administrator to add a connection to the PPM client where you found this favorite and then return to configure this PPM chart. |
7. Enter the user name and password to use for PPM in the User and Password fields.
8. Click Apply.
The configuration window closes and the PPM chart you have selected displays in the workspace.
