Introduction
The Microsoft Power Automate Process Mining desktop app is a feature-rich application that helps you complete more enterprise-focused process mining analysis. This module builds on your foundational knowledge of using the desktop application to explore the following analysis features:
Process comparison - Compares processes at the level of the process map or at the more detailed level of activities and edges (arrows from one activity to another). You can use this feature to identify the differences in the flow and frequency or time metrics.
Root cause analysis - Shows hidden connections in your data to help you identify key differences between cases. Root cause analysis can help you understand why some cases take longer to complete than others or why some cases get stuck in reworks while others run smoothly.
Custom metrics - Use this feature to combine different operations, functions, and constants in a formula editor to define your own custom or calculated metrics.
Business rules - Use this feature to define and evaluate KPIs based on your thresholds and limits. The system associates thresholds for the rule set with a category flag, such as error, warning, or OK, which you can use to identify problems in your processes.
Later in this module, you also practice using the desktop application to explore a process and use the desktop analysis features to discover ways for improving the process.
