pm4py.utils.format_dataframe(df: DataFrame, case_id: str = 'case:concept:name', activity_key: str = 'concept:name', timestamp_key: str = 'time:timestamp', start_timestamp_key: str = 'start_timestamp', timest_format: str | None = None) → DataFrame

Give the appropriate format on the dataframe, for process mining purposes

Parameters:

• df (DataFrame) – Dataframe

• case_id (str) – Case identifier column
