In this step of the View creation process, you can define optional advanced options for the View, such as how Pega Process Mining handles errors in the source data.

The following figure and definition list that follows describe the options that you can configure in the Advanced Properties tab:
The Advanced Properties tab in the View creation wizard provides fields for advanced configuration options, such as the Ingestion Mode.

Ingestion Mode
The ingestion mode controls how Pega Process Mining handles errors that occur during View creation. The default ingestion mode is PERMISSIVE, but you can select a different ingestion mode:
  • PERMISSIVE: The system keeps rows with problems but uses NULL values where the row is affected.
  • FAIL FAST: The system stops the process when it encounters a malformed row and displays an error message.
  • DROPMALFORMED: The system removes rows with problems from the final View.
Activities to be removed
This list includes the activities that Pega Process Mining detected in the data source. Select activities that you want to remove from the View. Events that contain removed activities are not included in the View and do not affect the metrics in any way.
Select possible activities that should be the initial step of a single Case
Select one or more columns to be the initial steps of a single case.
Select possible activities that should be the final step of a single Case
Select one or more columns to be the final steps of a single Case. Pega Process Mining uses these values to perform operations on predictive analysis and to improve other widgets by showing Cases that are still open or already closed. Selecting the final steps also enables the Predictive: Case Duration analysis within the Analyses section for the View.
Select the success states
In addition to selecting end activities, you can use this field, along with Select the fail states, to indicate which activities represent successful end states and which ones represent failures. Pega Process Mining uses this information to improve the predictive analysis.
Select the fail states
Select activities that represent failures. Pega Process Mining uses this information to improve the predictive analysis.

The following figure shows an example of definitions for the initial step of a single Case, final step of a single Case, and the activities that denote success or failure.

The Advanced tab provides options to define the initial step of a single Case, final step of a single case, and the activities that denote success or failure.
