How can we make ARIS Process Mining better?

Additional variant classification options

Feature Description

Provide additional variant classifications besides the “Unique” classification that currently is used. To summarize:

1)Variant class 1 (Existence + Frequency + Sequence) (current method)

2)Variant class 2 (Existence + Frequency)

3)Variant class 3 (Existence)


Reason

In most productive process mining projects end-users will typically see thousands of different variants. A frequent complaint is that the current variant list and numbers give a false impression on the process stability. Its considered too strict…

The other options would allow for more ‘meaningful’ variants.

Of course ‘meaningful’ is a subjective term but I'd prefer additional views on the process variance where I can select what best fits to the current analysis.

    One further comment.

    Additionally i can also envision an option that we offer a variant customization tab in our Data Set configuration - similar to the Conformance tab that is now also available.


    Before loading the data the user can configure a custom variant classification. Here the user can do 3 things

    1- Select the functions that need to be considered in the variant determination

    2- Select the variant classification (see first comment) that needs be used

    3- Give custom variant class a name


    After which the user then can load the data, the system determines the variants, In analysis the user can select his/her own variant classification to analyse the "meaningful" variants.
