Event definition

Define process events from uploaded CSV files. Select a column; the system removes duplicates and recognizes each distinct value as an event.

Create events​

Click Create to select a file and create events.


❶   Search file names.
❷   Select one file for creating events. Files already used for objects cannot be selected.
❸   Click Next to select the event column.


❶   Select the column containing event names.
❷   The values of the selected column appear here. Choose the events to create.

Note

You can create multiple events at once.

❸   Switch between all attribute values and values not yet created as events.
❹   Click Next to open Attribute mapping.


Select the Event ID and Timestamp columns by clicking their attribute cards.
Click Finish after mapping, or skip mapping and specify the columns later on the Event definition page. Mapping here applies the ID and Timestamp selections to every event created in this operation.

Note

ID is typically a unique value identifying each event instance in the process. Timestamp is when the event actually occurred.
