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.
1. Path evaluation without decision shapes
2. 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.
Time type |
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. |
Pass time |
The pass time is the time, which is required for a pass. It is taken into account that shapes are processed at the same time. |
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. |
