Overview

The Infor Process Intelligence application includes the Process Modeling module and Process Mining module.

Process Modeling enables users to explore, review, extend, enhance, and build industry-specific business processes and configuration content available to your organization.

Process Mining is an add-on license-based module that enables users to create visual insights to analyze business process variants, deviations and compliance, measure performance, cost and opportunities for improvement.

Process Modeling

Process Modeling enables users to explore and review industry-specific business processes that are available as part of an Infor CloudSuite.

Industry content is organized in folders. Each folder can contain one or more subfolders and one or more business process diagrams with various details and related documents.

To use the Infor Process Intelligence application, users must have one of these roles:
  • IPI-ModelerAdmin to access the application Configuration, Settings pages, and all other pages
  • IPI-ModelerDesigner to access the Process Viewer, Process Designer, and Registry pages
  • IPI-ModelerViewer to access the Process Viewer page where the industry content is displayed

Additionally, the IPI-ModelerAdmin can define permissions to restrict view and design access to industry-specific content for viewer and designer users.

The security roles for access to industry-specific content are defined and assigned in Infor Ming.le User Management by an IFS administrator.

The mapping between the security roles that give access to the industry content and the industry content folders is maintained in the Settings > Permissions page of the Infor Process Intelligence application and explained in this guide.

Process Mining

Process Mining enables users to define and review the metadata repository for industry-specific business processes that are available as part of an Infor CloudSuite. The metadata is needed to transform the executed events into a process mining format so that it can be used to build business insights.

Industry content is organized in CloudSuites. Each CloudSuite consists of one or more business processes. These processes can have one or more objects, which are utilized by applications to store transactional data, for which events and attributes are defined. The events, or activities, happen to specific objects and must be mapped to particular steps of an BPMN diagram in Process Insights. This mapping enables tracking of the actual course of the process and identifying any inconsistencies with modeled process.

To use the Process Mining module, users must have one of these roles:

  • IPI-MiningAdmin to access the Process Insights, Process Mining, and, additionally, the Category and Registry pages from the modeling module
  • IPI-MiningDataEngineer to access the Data Definition and Data Load Management pages
  • IPI-MiningDesigner to access the Process Insights, Data Load Management, and Insights Designer pages
  • IPI-MiningViewer to access the Process Insights page
