  • Rule-based finding definition is a custom rule that displays improvement opportunities for a use case on the Summary and insights page.

    Before you begin

    Role required:

    • The sn_process_mining_admin and sn_process_mining_power_user roles can create an improvement opportunity for a project.
    • The sn_process_mining_analyst role can view an improvement opportunity for a project, but can’t create, edit, or delete an improvement opportunity.

    By setting up your own rules, you can focus on specific areas of the process that you'd want to know more about, thus identifying improvement opportunities for a given use case.

    For example, you can set up a rule to display records that took more than 7 days from Awaiting verification to Resolved.
