allowed case start activities

Overview

The enrichment defines conformance issues if a case does not start with one of the selected activities. Conformance checking helps identify process deviations by validating that cases follow expected patterns. By controlling which activities can start a case, you can ensure your processes begin correctly and identify cases that don't follow standard procedures.

Example configuration

Examples

In this example, we configure the enrichment to ensure cases start with approved entry points. Any case starting with a different activity will be flagged as a conformance issue.

To specify the activities that our cases are allowed to start with, configure the settings as shown above, then click 'Create' and once you're ready click 'Calculate Enrichment' to add the new attribute to your data set.

Output

When this enrichment is executed, it creates a new Boolean case attribute with the name you specified in "Rule Name". The attribute value will be:

TRUE: If the case starts with an activity that is NOT in your allowed list (conformance issue detected)
FALSE: If the case starts with one of the allowed activities (no conformance issue)
