Group by

You can use Group by fields to categorize and organize event data when you create charts in dashboards in the Business Performance Center. A Group by determines how aggregated values are split into different categories so that you can compare metrics across multiple dimensions.

When you add a Group by field, Business Automation Insights calculates the selected aggregation for each unique value of that field. For example, you can group the count of completed cases by region or process name to see how each category contributes to the overall metric.

The Group by function supports fields of type keyword, boolean, date, integer, and long. For keyword fields, you can group values such as region or process name to compare categories. For boolean fields, you can group results such as true or false to distinguish between outcomes like success versus failure. Grouping by date lets you see how metrics change over time, such as daily or monthly trends. Grouping by integer fields lets you compare discrete values, such as number of approvals or priority levels. Grouping by long fields helps analyze large numeric values such as duration or amount.

You can add one or more Group by fields depending on the chart type. The chart type determines how multiple Group by fields are displayed (for example, stacked bars or grouped columns). When no Group by field is defined, the chart shows a single aggregated value.
