Role required: sn_process_mining_analyst, sn_process_mining_power_user, or sn_process_mining_admin

Slow duration on node displays a group of records that, on an average, stay longer in a step than another group. It points to the delayed steps that are shown by some records while others progressed faster.

   • The step must have at least 50 occurrences.
   • The step must have at least 20 occurrences within the slow duration group.
   • The step must have at least 20 occurrences within the regular duration group.
   • The minimum gap between the longest slow duration and the shortest regular duration must be 120 minutes.
