Tracking groups of process variables
Use tracking groups if you want to explicitly control your
tracked data and tracking points. For example, you can group the variables
that you want to track by type, strategically place tracking points
in your process, and track variables across multiple processes. With
tracking groups, your tracking points can also span multiple processes.
About this task
Tracking groups provide the following advantages:
- You can group similar data together for analysis. For example, you can track employee data, account data, or shipment status information in independent tracking groups.
- You can track process variables across multiple processes and process applications. For example, if your organization includes several locations and each location has a similar, but unique, onboarding process for new employees, you can create a tracking group to capture the business data for all of these processes.
- Tracking points for a timing interval can span multiple processes. For example, if you want to measure the duration between steps that start in one process and end in a nested process, you can include the start tracking point in the main process and the end tracking point in the nested process.
