Basic Process Properties
The following table describes the basic process properties.
Properties Page
Property
Description
General
Process Name
The name of the process model.
Important:
If you change a process-wide property, such as renaming a process or a package, Designer prompts you to regenerate the process.
Process ID
A system-generated process identifier. Not editable.
The Process ID consists of the process project name, any intermediate folders, and the process name, each separated by a slash ( / ), if all characters are simple ASCII characters. If any non-ASCII characters are used, Designer uses an encoding scheme to render all characters in the Process ID in ASCII.
Version
The current version of the process. The initial process version is 1. See Working with Process Versions.
Created By
The user name of the creator of the process. Not editable.
Description
Your descriptive information about the process, for documentation purposes only. Text in process descriptions is searchable.
Documentation
Documentation Fields
Local and default documentation fields to document in the process. Documentation fields are searchable. See About Process Documentation.
Documentation Field Value
Value for the assigned Documentation Field.
KPIs
KPIs for <Process Name>
Step-level KPI (Key Performance Indicator) definitions. For more information about the fields on this page and how to work with them, see About KPIs.
KPI Properties
Information used to describe a KPI: Name, Description, Unit of Measure, Associated Field, Aggregation Type, and Dimensions.
Name
Name of the KPI.
Note:
KPI names must be unique on a given Optimize server. Designer cannot, at design time, detect all the KPI names on the target server. However, if you duplicate a KPI name in a process, generation of the process produces a warning.
Description
Description of the KPI.
Unit of Measure
How the KPI is measured.
Associated Field
Associate the KPI with actual fields in the process. Only fields that are available in the output of the step can be used.
Note:
When you associate an output field with a KPI or a dimension, Designer automatically adds the field to the Logged Fields page in the Properties view. Designer does not, however, automatically remove an output field from the Logged Fields page in the Properties view if you remove it from a KPI or dimension.
Aggregation Type
Aggregation type can be set to SUM, AVERAGE, or LAST VALUE
Dimensions
Use this area to add, delete, and manage data dimensions for a selected KPI. You can associate a field from the step output with one or more dimensions.
Note:
Dimension names must be unique on a given Optimize server. Designer cannot, at design time, detect all the dimension names on the target server. However, if you duplicate a dimension label in a process, generation of the process produces a warning.
For more information, see About KPIs.
Stages
Stages
A list of the stages created within this process model. For more information, see Working with Stages.
Add Stage
Click to add a stage.
Delete Stage
Click to delete a selected stage.
Stage Details
Configuration information about the selected stage.
Name
Name of the stage (read-only).
Description
Description (optional) of the stage.
Start Milestone
Selected start milestone for the stage.
End Milestone
Selected end milestone for the stage.
Condition
Specified condition to define a stage breach.
Stop Tracking On Breach
Stops stage processing for all remaining stages in the process instance when a stage breach occurs in this stage, and only one stage breached EDA (deprecated) event is emitted. Remaining stages are not tracked and will be shown as Incomplete in Monitor. The check box is cleared by default.
