Constraints are similar to filters but with the addition of logic to further 'constrain' the selected events and issues based on operator logic related to volume, duration and occurences.
Activities
The Activity constraint uses the standard grid functionality to allow selection/deselection of 1 or more activities. The retention can be specified i.e. do you want to include or exclude the activities selected, and if more than 1 actijvity is selected, an operator is available to define whether the selection is 'and' or 'or’
The Contraint Type can be one of the following:
Duration
Only include activities where the duration matches the specified operators
Relative
Only include activities where the duration matches the relative operators i.e. the duration is > than average
Occurences
Only include activites that match the occurence operator
Steps
The Step constraint uses the standard grid functionality to allow selection/deselection of 1 or more steps. The retention can be specified i.e. do you want to include or exclude the steps selected, and if more than 1 step is selected, an operator is available to define whether the selection is 'and' or 'or'
The Contraint Type can be one of the following:
Duration
Only include steps where the duration matches the specified operators
Relative
Only include steps where the duration matches the relative operators i.e. the duration is > than average
Occurences
Only include steps that match the occurence operator
Path
The Path filter allows steps to be selected based on predicate logic. Predicates include 'Directly Followed', 'Eventually Followed', 'Not Directly Followed' and 'Not Eventually Followed'. Multiple activities can be selected for the From and To components of the Path, and Retention logic is available based on inclusion/exclusion of activities
The Contraint Type can be one of the following:
Duration
Only include paths where the duration matches the specified operators
Same Resource
Only include paths where the same resource is associated with the from/to path combination
