Importing/Exporting Process Mining Data

Overview 

Event log data may originate either from an internal process-tracking Data Structure such as a Case Entity or Flow Execution Extension or from external software such as Jira, ServiceNow, or Salesforce.

Regardless of its source, all event log data must contain the required data variables. Please check if the data meets these requirements before importing.

Importing External Data

Data from any system such as ERP, CRM, PDM, legacy logs, etc. can be imported via the supported file extensions:

• BPMN
• CMMN
• CSV / CSV.GZ
• DMN
• XES / XES.GZ
• XLSX / XLSX.GZ
• JSON / JZON.GZ

1. Log in to the Process Mining instance. On the Process Mining Home page, select Import/Export > Import File.
   
2. Select a supported file for import. Upon importing a file, columns may be assigned essential tags to determine how they are treated in the Process Mining.
3. Finally, events tagged as the Activity column as shown in the prior video can be manually custom sorted before confirming the import. Multiple tags cannot belong to one column.
   
4.  After successfully importing the data, the Process Map Analyzer will automatically open.

Exporting Process Mining Data

1. Back on the Home page, select an event log or BPMN model to export.
2. Select Import/Export > Export File. The file will automatically begin downloading in the browser.
