# Mining Processes (Apps)

Analyze workflows, optimize operations, and support compliance efforts through data-driven insights.

## Overview

The **Process Mining** application is a powerful, data-driven solution that enables you to visualize, analyze, and optimize business processes using real event log data. It automatically generates interactive process maps and surfaces key insights—such as case flows, activity durations, and performance bottlenecks—supporting faster, evidence-based decision-making.

***

## Accessing the Application

To open the **Process Mining** application:

1. Select the **Apps** tile in the side navigation bar.
2. On the **Apps** page, either:
   1. Expand Process Mining in the navigation tree, or
   2. Navigate to the **Process Mining** section in the application gallery.

## Opening a Project

In the application category, you’ll see any existing projects displayed as cards. Each project card includes:

* **Project Name**
* **Date Created**
* **Description** (if available)
* **Preview Image**

To open a project, click its card. The system will load the corresponding process map and analytics.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://interfacing.gitbook.io/interfacing-help-files/process-analysts/process-analysis-and-simulation/process-mining.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
