Business Activity Monitoring

The Business Activity Monitoring Client graphically displays the chronology of deployed processes. In the Gantt-Chart the activities' and tasks' durations are represented as bars. Therefore, it is necessary to specify durations for all activities and to activate CPM.

Element Description
1 In this section temporal progress is depicted by a diagram. The vertical black line indicates the current time. Each activity has its own dedicated timeline with its length corresponding to the estimated time required for processing assignments. An activity that is currently undergoing processing is highlighted in blue. An activity is highlighted in green if it is successfully completed within the predefined time frame. Furthermore, the relative area of the bar that is highlighted represents the time needed to complete the activity. If an activity takes longer than initially expected, the entire time line will be highlighted in red. The background of the rows representing distinct activities is colored either light green or white in a alternative fashion in order to aid in distinguishing between different activities.
2 The preferred process definition can be selected via this drop-down menu.
3 Each of the process instances related to the selected process definition is distinctively shown in a list. The most recent instances appear at the top of this list.
4 For selected process instances, this options gives the unique opportunity to determine which activity should be shown.
5 This options enables the decision to display exclusively activities with a certain status.
6 This field allows you to decide if only activities with starting points within a certain time range will be displayed.
7 At the same time activities with ending points lying within a certain time range may be shown.
8 This option gives you the discretion to only display activities with expected starting points matching a certain time range.
9 This field enables you to decide if only activities that are assigned to a certain user in his or her capacity as an assignee will be shown.
10 The list of all activities can be arranged and sorted according to a wide range of elements.
11 Within this search field, filters can be applied to the list of activities.
12 With this option the settings of a certain time range can be changed in order to search more effectively for desired activities. In this option settings relating to the dates of starting and ending such as days (d) and hours (h) can be selected.
13 With the option Navigation map the user can decide which section of the client he would like to view. By rearranging the purple-colored bars a particular section can be displayed and enlarged as desired.

Relevant information will be shown by clicking on the arrow displayed in each row representing an activity of an instance. The arrow opens a drop-down menu. This additional window panel shows how many tasks within the selected activity have been finished up to the current time. In addition, information on the person responsible for executing as well as the point in time for ending the task is provided.

Visibility of Processes

In the Business Activity Monitoring Client users can review all processes and their respective instances if they posses owner rights for said processes.

Definition of Bars

Element Description
This bar indicates that the task has been finished before the predetermined ending point lapsed. The remaining time will be color-coded in grey. The color-code of the bar will be depicted completely in green if there is no time left for further processing. Mouse over information:
The blue color-code of the bar indicates that the task is still work in progress. The grey colored area shows how much time still remains to finish this task. Mouse over information:
In this case the task is still being processed (hence the blue color-code). But the red color-code indicates that the time limit for the completion of the task is already over. Mouse over information:
This bar indicated that the task is currently being processed, but that work on it was not started at the intended time. The red color-coded part of the bar represents the time difference between the originally intended starting point and the actual starting point. If a task has been started with some delay, but was still finished within the time restraints, the corresponding section of the bar will change to the color green. Mouse over functionality:
The grey-colored bar indicates that a task has not been started yet. Mouse over information:
This bar indicates that even though the task was eventually finished, some delay during processing occurred.

Symbols
