View node details in Process Explorer
The event node pop up in Process Explorer provides additional details about a specific event, such as how frequently it occurs and an overview of all events that occurred immediately before or after this event. By clicking on an event node in Process Explorer, users can see the details of the selected event on the Occurrences tab, a list of events immediately preceding this event on the Objects from / Objects to tab, and a range of object-centric performance metrics on the Synchronization tab.
Note
In a multi-object Process Explorer, the Occurrences tab and the Objects to / Objects from tab show a breakdown of the events in each event log. Clicking the downward arrow will expand that specific event log to show the details for events that occurred in that event log.
For events that are shared among the different objects, the Synchronization tab shows the object-centric performance metrics evaluated for a specific event. Clicking the downward arrow will expand a specific metric related to that event.
Occurrences
The Occurrences tab shows usage details for this event, including how often this event occurred in a process, what percentage of processes included this event, and an average of how many times per object this event occurred. In the Select Filter section, there are a series of buttons that allow you to filter your process graph based on criteria such as how many processes included this selected event, how many processes do not include the event, how many times a process started with this event, and how many times a process ended on this event.
Clicking one of these buttons will close the details window and apply the selected filter to your process graph. To remove the applied filter, hover over the filter in the upper right corner and click the X to remove it.
Cases from/to or Objects from/to
The Cases from / Cases to tab shows a breakdown of the events that most commonly preceded and followed the selected event. The Preceding Events tab shows a list of all events that occurred immediately before this event and the number of objects in which this occurred. The Following Events tab shows the same overview for all events that occurred immediately following the selected event. On both tabs, the events are displayed in descending order by default, but can be re-sorted by clicking on the Objects header and selecting a different sort order from the dropdown.
Note
This tab will be titled “Objects from / Objects to” in a multi-object Process Explorer.

Synchronization (Multi-object Process Explorer only)
The Synchronization tab shows object-centric performance metrics, which allow you to view the range of event lead times, execution times, and synchronization times for all objects in a process. These metrics include:
Event Lead Time: Total duration from when the earliest input object becomes available to the completion of that specific event. Event Lead Time can be thought of as the total amount of time needed for the preparation and execution of all steps in the process.
Synchronization (Sync) Time: Time between when the first and last input objects arrive at a shared event. Sync Time captures the delay caused by waiting for all involved objects to be ready.
Execution Time: Amount of time from when all input objects are available to when the execution is complete. During this period, all objects are ready and nothing is blocked on the data side, yet no action occurs.
These metrics are computed for all shared events in the process and show the range of times for each metric as well as how frequently each value occurred across the events in this process. In addition, these metrics provide the average, median and trimmed median values.
Note
For median and trimmed median values, the sync+idle=lead calculation is not necessarily always accurate as it is for the average value.
