Working with Task Mining data
Task Mining data overview
Task Mining data is captured from user machines and uploaded to the Celonis Platform.
The Task Mining data is stored in a Data Pool in the
user_interaction_event_logtable.The Task Mining data is processed and stored in the
TM_Labeled_Datatable.The processed Task Mining data is analyzed in Studio in the Workforce Productivity app.
The Data Pool and Workforce Productivity app are set up automatically when a Task Mining project is created. You can also configure the Workforce Productivity app to ensure it displays data that is relevant for your organization and customize the default Workforce Productivity app View and the Knowledge Model used. For more information, see Customizable components in the Workforce Productivity app.

The Task Mining Client software captures clicks, scrolls, text entry and other actions performed by a user or Robotic Process Automation (RPA). | Task Mining Client software is installed. For information on the default settings when you set up a Task Mining project, see Task Mining basic client settings. |
Specific user actions. | Use event processing rules to define the events, attributes and screenshots that are or are not captured for a Task Mining project. | Event processing rules are defined and enabled. |
Data and screenshots from specific applications only. | Use event processing rules to allowlist or denylist specific applications. | Event processing rules are defined and enabled. |
Data from specific websites only. | Use event processing rules to allowlist or denylist specific website URLs. | Google Chrome and/or Microsoft Edge browser extensions are installed. Event processing rules are defined and enabled. |
Data from websites even if user doesn’t interact with the website content | Use custom web page data extraction rules to extract specific data. You can specify, for example, that only the URL is captured. | Google Chrome and/or Microsoft Edge browser extensions are installed. Web page extraction rules are defined and enabled. |

Log data for the Task Mining Client software. FROM 2.1.8 | A new log file is created each calendar day when the Task Mining Client software is used. The log file contains log data about the Task Mining Client software is used by Support only. This log data is not sent to the Celonis Platform and does not contain captured Task Mining or user data. | Enabled in the Task Mining Client software and cannot be disabled. |
