Performance Analysis  Time Between

Screenshot shows the Time Between dashboard analyzing the relation between Cancel Goods Receipt and Cancel Invoice Receipt. The single box plot summarizes the duration distribution across 979 qualifying cases, with the summary table showing max source and target occurrence counts and the number of outliers.

The Time Between dashboard is a focused analysis tool for investigating the time elapsed between two specific activities across all cases in the event log. Given a Source Activity and a Target Activity, it computes the duration of the eventually-follows relation between them for every case in which both activities occur, and presents the results as a box plot alongside a summary statistics table.

This view is particularly useful for measuring how long a specific step or handover takes in practice, and for comparing that duration across different subgroups of cases.

Activity Selection

At the top of the view, the Activity Selection panel allows you to define the relation to analyze:

Source Activity

The activity from which the time measurement begins, selected via the chevron. The row of buttons below the chevron sets the Source Selection strategy, determining which occurrence of the source activity is used when it appears multiple times within a case:

• First: The first occurrence of the source activity in a case is used.
• Last: The last occurrence of the source activity in a case is used.
• Mean: The average time across all occurrences of the source activity in the case is used.

Target Activity

The activity at which the time measurement ends, selected via its own chevron. Only occurrences of the target activity that appear after the resolved source activity are considered. For example, in a sequence B → A → B where A is the source and B is the target, only the second B would be counted (and would be treated as the first eligible occurrence of the target under the given eventually-follows relation). Besides this restriction, the Target Selection strategy buttons below the target chevron apply with the same logic as for source.

Once the source and target activities are configured, click Calculate Statistics to compute and display the results.

Time Between Statistics

Screenshot shows the Time Between dashboard analyzing the relation between Cancel Goods Receipt and Cancel Invoice Receipt. Group by Case Attributes is active, grouping results by Month of Case Start. Each group is represented as a separate color-coded box plot, with the summary table below showing duration statistics per group.

The Statistics section displays a box plot of the relation durations across all qualifying cases, showing the distribution from minimum to maximum including the interquartile range, median, average, and min/max values both with and without outliers.

Below the box plot, a summary table provides additional detail. The content of the table depends on whether a Group by Case Attributes is active:

Without grouping, the table shows a single row with the following columns:

With Group by Case Attributes active, each group is shown as a separate column with its own color-coded label, and the table is expanded to include the following rows (which can also be found in the box plot): Cases, Average, Median, Q-25%, Q-75%, Min and Max (without outliers), and Total Min and Total Max (with outliers).
