Create project in ADONIS PME​

Once you've opened ADONIS PME, you'll land on the project dashboard. From here, you can create and manage your process mining projects. Proceed as follows:

Initiate project creation​

To start a new project, click the Create new project button.

Create new PME project

Upload file​

Next, you will be directed to the Create new project page with the Upload file section already displayed. You have to select and upload the event log file. It can either be browsed in the file explorer by clicking on the Choose button Choose button, or you can simply drag and drop the file.

The requirements of the event log file are:

  • Supported file formats: .csv and .xes

  • Maximum file size: 1 GB

After the upload is complete, a confirmation message will appear saying the file is "Ready for mapping".

Ready for mapping

Map columns​

After uploading a .csv file, a preview of your data will be displayed in a tabular format. Before you can import and analyse the event log, you’ll need to map three key parameters to the corresponding columns in your file.

note

If you're uploading a .xes file, this step is skipped - ADONIS PME automatically maps the data using standard tags for key attributes.

Map the following parameters to the respective columns in your event log:

  • Case ID: Unique identifier for an instance of a business process.

  • Activity key: The name of the activity that represents a specific step or task within the business process.

  • Timestamp: The date and time when each activity in the process occurred.

You can map these parameters easily by selecting the appropriate column titles from the dropdown menus for each parameter. The table below provides a preview of your data, which will help you identify the correct columns for mapping.

Mapping columns

Complete project creation​

Once the columns are correctly mapped, click the Create project button to finalise the process.

Jump to the data analysis

In the background, the following actions will occur:

  • The data is being uploaded.

  • Visualisations are being created.

  • The project setup is being finalised.

Once everything is complete, you will be redirected to the newly created project. From here, you can begin analysing the visualised data.
