How to filter to have the longest duration case in an edge

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 27
Hi,
 
How should a filter be created to show only the case that has the longest duration in an edge between two activities?
 
In this screenshot I have the green edge which has a maximum duration of 9.14a (years).
I want to filter to find out which specific case it is because it must be an error.
 
 
In the desktop application I suppose I should create a filter with an expression, a formula. But I am not clear on how it should be created.
 
 
Any ideas?
 
Thank you!

    How to filter to have the longest duration case in an edge
    Hey Francesc JC,
    its possible to analyze and filter the longest duration on the edge. The simplest way how to do it in the PAPM desktop application is following:
    1.  Go into statistics from the left menu
    2. Select the Edge statistics:
    3. Click on the column description - Maximum duration (thus you will invert the order).
    4. This displays the longest path. Select it and click create filter:
    This takes you to the filter section, where you select conditions which you want to see - e.g. Edge metric Maximum Duration greater that xxx( a bit below your maximum value you have seen a while ago).
     
    Please be aware that this is case-level filter, not event-level filter. Similarly, we are able to create the event-level filter. Filter selection depends on what we are trying to achieve.

    Sure. I think it's not possible.

    Hi Francesc,

    I wonder if this is possible with an expression range. The event log is being transformed for optimal presentation. What I usually do is opening the source event log file in Excel, then calculate the duration and then search for specific activities.
