How to create an aggregated process instance
An aggregated process instance represents the behavior of the process instances it is based on. The aggregated process instance is a result of the aggregation of several process instances. During aggregation, the EPCs, attributes and measures of the individual process instances are merged. The aggregation of process instances is associated with simplification and therefore with a loss of information.
During aggregation, all objects and connections of the selected process instances are transferred into the aggregated process instance. Objects or connections that meet specific identity criteria are merged to a single object or connection. This merge transfers only identical attributes of the objects or connections.
All process and functional measures are calculated as attributes of the aggregated process instance and the aggregated functions.
In addition, specific attributes for the evaluation of the aggregated process instance are calculated (for example, the number of aggregated instances).
