For complex Process Maps, you can simplify the map by reducing the number of traces, activities, or transitions that are displayed in the map.

On the left side of the Process Map, use sliders to adjust the complexity of the map.

NOTE: The traces, activities, and transitions sliders do not filter data. They only simplify the representation of the graph.
As an example, in the following figure, the Traces slider is set to the minimum value, and the result is that the Process Map shows only the most frequent traces in the process:

If you want to view the map at increasingly more complex levels, move a slider, based on the data that you want to see in the map. The following figure shows an example Process Map at maximum complexity, showing all traces, activities, and transitions:

Increasing traces demo

The following demo shows how moving the Traces slider increases the number of traces shown on a Process Map:


Animation shows how moving the Traces slider increases traces on a Process Map.

Meaning of percentages

The percentages on the slider are relative values. For example, the steps on the Traces slider correspond to buckets of traces with an instance count between x and y. These x and y values are relative to the instance counts of top traces and bottom traces.

The last bucket on the right usually includes all traces with one instance. Therefore, if your View has many unique traces, such as 50% unique traces, clicking the minus button one time reduces the trace percentage by a significant margin.
