Upload the process data
On the Upload process data page, you can upload your process data into your Process Mining project using a file containing CSV data. The uploaded file with process data in CSV format is used to configure the project and then it will be imported into PPM.
You must upload one file here to continue the wizard. If you have uploaded a wrong file, you can upload the correct file. Every upload overwrites a previous uploaded file.
Drag and drop your data file into the blue colored box on the Upload CSV file page.
Alternatively, click Select your file, select the required data file, and click Open.
Click Next.
You can continue when your file is uploaded. A progress bar shows the status of the file upload.
Your process data is uploaded into your project.
If you want to return to the previous wizard page, click Previous. To exit the wizard, click Cancel. If you click Cancel to close the dialog, the configuration is deleted and the Manage projects page opens.
Process data restrictions
The CSV file containing the process data must meet the following conditions:
CSV files containing special characters must not contain ISO control characters. CSV files must not contain special characters with Unicode code points upwards of 65.536, which do not correspond to a single UTF-16 character.
CSV files must not contain tabs in column values (tabs used as column separator are allowed).
All CSV files must start with a header line.
Every line after the header line should contains the data of a single process activity
If a CSV file does not meet these restrictions the upload leads to an error.
The error either occurs in the wizard (if the invalid character is contained in the values used in the wizard) or the data import causes an error preventing the data from being imported. Then you must remove the invalid characters from the CSV file and you must upload and import the file again.
