About this task
Process Mining gathers audit log field data for activities you define. Configure at least one activity to extract for and display in your process map records that start, end, or pass through a specific activity.
You can set up dot walking on activities that will flag any kind of change that you want to keep a track of.
Large organizations find it inefficient or non-compliant to change Configuration Items (CIs) and business services, especially when they're associated with legal and geographical entities. To address this, they perform data mining on dot-walked fields for insights without changing these critical attributes.
While adding activity definitions, you can add a reference field (dot walked field) to flag any such non-compliance. For example: Assigned_to.Location. After the mining is complete, the graph will display the data flow across different locations making it easier for you to track any non-compliance.
You can also group multiple activities to track changes made to each of the activities. For this, you can add an activity definition of type "Compound" and select the fields. After the mining is complete, the graph will display that something has changed for these fields. This will simplify the graph. To know the details, you can further filter them.
