Create a timing interval
If you want to analyze the amount of time that elapses between certain steps in your process, you can add tracking points to your BPD and then create a timing interval to capture the duration between defined start and end points. When you create a timing interval, you can create custom reports that enable you to calculate the duration of a process, or compare the duration of several processes.
Do the following tasks before creating a timing interval:
- Enable autotracking
- Add tracking points to the business process definition
- Create a tracking group to hold the timing interval data (make sure to add each tracking point to the tracking group you created)
To create a timing interval...
Procedure
- Open the business process diagram in Process Designer.
- In the Designer library, expand Performance by clicking the plus icon, and then click Timing Interval from the list of components.
- Type the timing interval name in the Name field (for example, TimeToCompleteRequest), and then click Finish. The Timing Interval window opens in Process Designer.
- Define the timing interval.
- Use the Add button in the Start Points and End Points panels to add the start and end points for the timing interval.
- Use the Calculation Bound list in the Start Points and End Points panels to indicate the binding calculation you want to use for the start and end points in the interval.
- Save your changes.
What to do next
Add the timing interval to a report definition.
