Analysis model
The analysis model is the result of combining the columns of the tables in the data model with the fields calculated on them. The analysis model is built by joining all enhancement tables into the activity table, considering the relations defined by the user. The analysis model is then expanded to include the calculated fields.
Based on the data model, ARIS Process Mining generates the analysis model that represents the data structure using objects and fields. An object represents a data table and includes cases, activities, and connections. An object contains fields that in turn represent the columns of a corresponding data table. For example, an activity object can be defined by multiple fields, such as, activity ID, activity name, activity duration, or activity start time.
Thus, the analysis model represents the hierarchical structure of the data model in a simple way. The fields of the analysis model are divided into the following categories:
Case fields
All fields containing data (dimensions and measures) that describe a single process case (process instance).
Activity fields
All fields containing data (dimensions and measures) that describe a single activity (event) within a case.
Connection fields
All fields containing data (dimensions and measures) that describe a transition between two activities.
