The Path evaluation shows the average working time of the modeled process.
When decision shapes are used, there are different ways for the processing – depending on the number of decisions. If a process contains such alternative paths, they are displayed separately with their weighting.

Path evaluation with decision shapes
Hints for the calculation
As time for a process step the total sum of all times, that can be entered in the properties of the shape, is valid.

Meaning |
|---|---|
Average processing time |
Considers all paths and their weights, this means after a decision shape the times of the divided paths are multiplied with the percentage rate of the respective path. |
Processing time |
The processing time is the time, which is given by the sum of all shapes. |
Running time |
The running time is the time needed for a pass. Simultaneous processing of shapes is taken into account. |
Please note: |

The path evaluation is only calculated if the process design is valid. ▪A process design is only valid when it has a start and an end shape and all shapes in the working area are connected with each other. ▪Incomplete process designs can be saved, but they are not valid. |
