Object Centric PM
OCPM extends traditional process mining by allowing analysis across multiple interconnected business objects simultaneously — providing a more realistic view of how processes actually operate.
Traditional process mining uses a single case identifier (e.g. Order ID). OCPM tracks the lifecycle and interactions of multiple related objects: Purchase Orders, Invoices, Deliveries, Customers, Materials, Assets.
Object-Centric Event Log (OCEL)
An OCEL captures relationships between events and multiple business objects. It records: business events, object identifiers, object types, relationships between events and objects, and event timestamps.
Uploading an OCEL
Access via Extraction → OCEL Event Log Upload. Two files are required:
| File | Required Columns |
|---|---|
| Relations File | Event ID, Activity, Timestamp, Object ID, Object Type |
| Objects File | Object ID, Object Type |
- Click Create and enter an OCEL Event Log name.
- Upload the Relations File and Objects File
- Map Columns – Map mandatory fields: Case ID, Activity, Event Timestamp. Map optional fields: Case Dimension, Event Dimension, Value, User.
- Verify file contents and click Submit.
Upload Status
- Navigate to the FUTUROOT home page. Click FR Prism to access the OCPM workspace.
- Click Create Process. Enter a Process Name, select the uploaded OCEL Event Log, and click Create
- Open the Process Map Panel. Select Object Types and Events to visualize. The OCPM Process Map is automatically generated.
Understanding the OCPM Process Map
Each object type is automatically assigned a unique color applied to object nodes, process paths, and connectors. Activities shared by multiple object types are immediately visible, showing intersections and dependencies.
Each object journey contains a Start Node (first event) and End Node (final event).
FR Prism Control Panel
Access from the Process Map section. Contains:
- Object Centre – Total objects, count by Object Type, assigned colors.
- Activity Centre – All visible activities, associated object types, color indicators.
Global Filters
Click the Global Filter icon in the upper-right corner. Open the Object Filter section, select one or more object values, and apply. The process map refreshes showing only the selected data.
