SAP Certified Associate - Process Data Analyst - SAP Signavio

• The Digital Footprint is the trace left behind by every detail recorded throughout processes and operations.
• Plug and gain by SAP Signavio delivers process mining content for specific predefined process flows.
• Process Transparency in Business Process Management involves modeling processes and designing them to provide easily accessible information.
• DATE_TRUNC function in SiGNAL is used to limit timestamps to certain units of time and remove details of timestamps.

• The three process-related areas in focus for Business Process Management are Process Improvement, Process Transparency, and Process Implementation.
• Process Documentation can start with running workshops with process participants, creating process-related surveys, and conducting process interviews.
• The SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub is the heart of the SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite.
• The SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub provides access to process diagrams, journey models, a news feed, and favorite and recently viewed diagrams.
• Users can access workflow tasks from SAP Signavio Process Governance.
• Users can access their analyses from SAP Signavio Process Intelligence.
• The Process landscape in the SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub enables users to quickly navigate through the processes of an organization.
• The search function with filters in the SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub can be used to find specific processes, content, and dictionary entries.
• Users can get additional information about a process by clicking on elements in it.
• The Legend under the diagram provides more information and a detailed description of the process.
• Users can mark processes as favorites by clicking on the Star icon in the SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub.
• Comments can be added on the entire diagram or specific steps/gateways for collaboration in the SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub.
• A Process Variant is a set of cases with the same process flow (choices and activities)
• The three main capabilities of Process Mining are Process Discovery, Process Conformance, and Process Performance.
• Process Performance helps evaluate improvement measures, benchmark performance across different regions, and monitor performance in real time to react to changes.
• Process Mining provides benefits such as process standardization, reduced costs, faster reaction time, resolved bottlenecks, and ensured compliance.
• Typical roles in Process Mining include Process Modeler/Owner, Process Analyst, and Data/IT Expert.
• A Process Intelligence investigation requires an extracted event log containing a unique case ID number, timestamp, and activity name.
• The three parts of SAP Signavio ETL are Integration Management, Data Model Management, and Data Source Management.
• SAP Signavio Process Intelligence activation can be requested via a support ticket.
• Before starting the process of uploading and analyzing data, it's necessary to create a new process.
• A Process Intelligence investigation can be structured around specific topics.
• Chapters allow users to break down the process for clarity and filtering.
• The Process Discovery and Variant Explorer widgets visualize process flows (variants) by tracing the executed events.
• The Process Discovery Widget represents the first widget in an investigation and provides a view of the actual process flow.
• Filters are additive and can be applied at the investigation, chapter, or widget level.
• Filters add or remove cases from the data, which impacts the display in the investigation.
• Value (aggregates case data) and Breakdown (generates a bar chart from data) are flow widgets for understanding the "as-is" process flow.
• The common aggregation functions available are SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN, MAX, COUNT(DISTINCT), FIRST, LAST, BOOL_OR, and BOOL_AND.
• The Over time and Distribution widgets are time-oriented widgets that display the development in a process over time.
• The Process Conformance, Process Funnel (line width indicating traffic), and Diagram widgets are related to the process model.
• To set up monitoring widgets in the SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub, users need to copy the Widget ID first.
• Workflow Mining is a feature that enables the quick export of event logs from executed workflows for process analysis using SAP Signavio Process Intelligence.
• Data extraction from multiple systems involves defining the process scope, identifying relevant business objects, and identifying the required systems and tables.
• Data transformation is essential for ensuring uniformity and standardization, as well as aligning the data to a specific target format.
• A standalone connector handles the communication between the source system and SAP Signavio Process Intelligence, especially for source systems not covered by standard connectors.
• SiGNAL, in contrast to SQL, is not able to create inner joins, not in data table format, and is used to start queries.
• A query is a request for information from a database.
• Metrics can be added from the library, created manually, or uploaded from a JSON file.
• Blue color-coded boxes in the SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub are for informative purposes and do not indicate a blocker.
• A Reference Guide with Guided Analysis is available for some process flows.
• Internal benchmarking is looking within a company to determine the best business methods, compared to external benchmarking, which compares to other companies.
• The SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub provides tools for process discovery, process modeling, process analysis, and process collaboration.
• Workflow Mining is a feature that accelerates the analysis of workflows by extracting event logs from workflows that can be uploaded to SAP Signavio Process Intelligence for process analysis.
• The SAP Signavio Process Governance feature allows users to manage and monitor the performance of processes and ensure compliance.
• Process Conformance is a process mining capability that helps organizations to identify and analyze deviations between the actual execution of a process and its desired model.
• Process Performance is a process mining capability that helps organizations to measure and understand the efficiency and effectiveness of their processes.
• Process Discovery is a process mining capability that uses event logs to identify the actual steps and variations in a process based on real-world data.
• Process analysis is the process of examining data related to a process for several purposes, including identifying bottlenecks, improving efficiency, and ensuring compliance.
• Event logs are files that record the events that occur during a process, providing a detailed history of how a process is executed.
• Data transformation is necessary to prepare data for process mining by cleaning, standardizing, and transforming the data into a format that can be analyzed by the process mining software.
• The SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite offers a comprehensive set of tools for improving business processes and streamlining operations.
• Process Collaboration Hub is a central platform where users can create, manage, and collaborate on processes.
• Workflows are automated sequences of tasks that streamline business processes and improve efficiency.
• Process landscape is a visual representation of all the processes in an organization, allowing for easy navigation and understanding of the overall process structure.
• Digital footprint is the trace left behind by every detail recorded throughout processes and operations.
• Plug and gain is an approach that offers predefined process mining content for specific process flows, accelerating the process mining project.
• Process transparency is achieved by modeling and designing processes for easy access and understanding.
• DATE_TRUNC is a SiGNAL function used to limit timestamps to certain units of time to remove specific details.
