Specify filter conditions

You can filter the processes to display only activities or cases that meet certain conditions. The filters help you to examine specific aspects of your processes. You can filter the processes by fields, individual activities, or a specific activity sequence.

  • If you filter processes by fields, only the cases that match certain field values, such as a duration value, are displayed.

    Note that if a field selected as a filter contains parameters, such as a calculated field, only the default parameter values are evaluated. This applies to filters that you set manually or take from other components.

  • If you filter processes according to individual activities, only the cases that contain specific activities are displayed.

  • If you filter processes according to a specific activity sequence, only the cases in which certain activities follow each other are displayed.
