Azure templates for process mining
Easily onboard your process mining data with process mining templates. Templates help you start mining your processes for insights with just a few selections. You'll avoid the data identification and manipulation that's required with traditional process mining tools. Azure DevOps (work tracking), Azure DevOps (pipelines), Logic Apps (standard plan), Logic Apps (consumption plan), and Durable Functions templates provide insights that help you identify opportunities and optimize your development processes.
Creating and running a template is similar for all the Azure templates.
