Pinned ideas

PINNED Filter UI enables having OR between filters (not just AND)
Users want to filter cases for client1 OR client2. They can't without creating a custom filter with javascript -- which they don't like at all
PINNED SQL statements in Dashboard Widgets
I think using SQL statements in widgets would be great to leverage the entire potential of the data uploaded to IBM Process Mining. Lots of important and helpful information cannot be displayed today as it's only SQL-like. I don't think that using...

View on the dates of the process

When filtering for a single practice, it would be useful to see the timestamp of individual activities in the model page in order to avoid to download a CSV to do analysis on the individual case.

Role-level based Activity map and Social net

Data mapping is required when uploading CSV and creating processes. We can then assign the resources and roles associated with the activities. Activity map and Social net in "Resource mapping" will be displayed properly if data mapping is complete...

Change a non-conformant process variant to conformant directly in the Model conformance pane

When viewing non-conformant process variants in the Model conformance pane in the Model page, users should be able to change / reclassify a non-conformant process variant as conformant. As of now the only option to simulate this action is to "Crea...

Allow user to disable the "snapshot" function

We understand that the snapshot function is the key to mutil-user editing. However, in same business scenario, client may prefer to not use it: which means all changes to the process will automatically update to every user. (without manually reset...

Alphabetization in ONLY SOME of the dropdown lists, which can have a huge list of variables

Some filters go by execution but with a long and vast list of process steps or attributes it makes it impossible to type ahead and search for specific action. Also when editing a filter the type ahead is disabled

IBM Task Mining downloadable from the Web Console

Clarify the expected format for timestamps

As the expected format options aren't documented, this leads to too much guessing and trial/error. Especially confusing as it appears that the syntax is closer to Java (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1459656/how-to-get-the-current-time-i...

View Side by Side Process Models for Two Processes or Two Differently Filtered Processes

There is a need to view two processes side by side to easily compare and contrast. In the Compare tab, two processes are shown, but overlaid in a single process model making it difficult to see the differences. The Dashboards only allow one proces...
