Process Reports

A process report provides information on the execution of process requests. The report lists the process requests that meet the report's criteria.

Creating a Process Report

To create and configure a process report in the Resources or the Project Configuration module, you select the Process Reports section on the Reports tab, and click Add.

You can configure the execution mode for your report, define filters, choose the columns to be included in the report, and group the report results as required.

Defining Filters

You can filter the process requests to be included in your report. The Add Filter button allows you to include only process requests that meet specific filter criteria depending on the parameters used. If you define more than one filter, they are combined by a logical AND.

If no process is selected as the basis for the report, you can filter it by the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
Day	Day when the process request was launched.
Delay	Time delay between the moment the request was created and the moment the request started executing in milliseconds.
Duration	Duration of the process request in milliseconds.
Events	Events of the process request.
Keyword	Keyword of the original process. Only applies to processes of standard portal applications.
Modified by	Name of the user who has last accessed the process request.
Month	Month when the process request was launched.
Name	Name of the process request.
Origin	Process ID of the original process. Only applies to processes of standard portal applications.
Parent	Parent of the process request.
Request id	ID of the process request.
Started by	Email address of the user who launched the process.
Step ID	ID of a process step.
Step Status	Status of process steps. For the list of step statuses, see below.
Step Type	Type of process steps. For the list of step types, see below.
Updated	Date and time the process request was last updated.
Year	Year when the process request was launched.

Step Types

You can filter your process report by step types. For details about step types, refer to Process Step Types.

Step type	Description
[Event] Start	Start event.
[Event] Timer	Timer event.
[Event] End	End event.
[Event] Condition	Conditional event.
[Event] Timer on Activity	Timer intermediary event.
[Event] Cancel on Activity	Cancel intermediary event.
[Event] Error on Activity	Error intermediary event.
[Activity] None	Empty activity.
[Activity] Connector	Activity for calling a web service (except for a composite API).
[Activity] Manual	Activity for executing a manual task.
[Activity] Composite API	Activity for calling a web service for a composite API call.
[Activity] Email / Notification	Activity for sending a push notification or an email.
[Activity] Script	Activity for executing a script.
[Activity] Subprocess	Activity for launching a subprocess.
[Gateway] And (Split)	And Split gateway.
[Gateway] Xor (Split)	Exclusive Or Split gateway.
[Gateway] And (Join)	And Join gateway.
[Gateway] Xor (Join)	Exclusive Or Join gateway.

Choosing the Report Columns

If you have not selected a process as the basis for the report, you can choose the following columns:

Column	Description
Created	Date and time when the process request was launched.
Day	Day when the process request was launched.
Delay	Time delay between the moment the request was created and the moment the request started executing in milliseconds.
Duration	Duration of the process request in milliseconds.
Events	Events of the process request.
Keyword	Keyword of the origin process. Only applies to processes of standard portal applications.
Modified by	Name of the user who has last accessed the process request.
Month	Month when the process request was launched.
Origin	Process ID of the origin process. Only applies to processes of standard portal applications.
Parent	Parent of the process request.
Request id	ID of the process request.
Started by	Email address of the user who launched the process.
Status	Current status of the process.
Updated	Date and time the process request was last updated.
Year	Year when the process request was launched.

If you have selected a process as the basis for the report, you can also display the values of measures defined for it. This is useful, for example, to show the status of each request, if the status has been defined as a measure. For details about measures, refer to Measures.

Grouping Report Results

You can choose fields to group the report results by. For example, grouping by Status will group all process requests that have the same status. You can define two levels of grouping:

Group 1: Group the process requests by the selected field. Here, you can use aggregation functions to obtain specific summary information at group level, for example, the number of process requests in a specific status.
Group 2: Group the results within Group 1 by another field, for example, group all process requests of a specific status by the users who have started them.

Displaying Report Results

To display the report results, you run the report. You can change the configuration or reset it by removing individual settings or clearing all settings.

The following image shows an example of a process report.

When you click a process request in the list, you are forwarded to the Process Console of DigitalSuite Studio. The Process Console provides a visual representation of a process request, showing the request's execution path along with any errors that occurred. For details about using the Process Console, refer to Process Console.

To present report results to users, you can include process reports in a web interface using the Process Report List widget or Process Report widget. For details, refer to Widget Types.

The following example shows a process report embedded in a web interface via a Process Report widget. It lists all process requests assigned to the logged in user, thus giving the user an overview of her/his requests.
