How to choose a trace-attribute for trace colouring in the Inductive Visual Miner?

I would like to use a trace attribute of my choice for trace colouring in the Inductive Visual Miner. However, when opening the trace colouring dialogue in the IvM, I only get the options "concept:name", "duration" and "number of events".

My eventlog contains plenty of variables at the trace level, but they're not shown in the trace colouring dialogue of the IvM. I suspect that I should define this in the plugin "Convert CSV to XES", which I use as a first step. I have tried the "Show Expert Configuration" dialogue when converting my CSV to XES to define trace attributes, but to no avail. Whatever I assign to the cells in the row "XES Extension" gets ignored later by the trace colouring dialogue box of the IvM.

How can I tell ProM that a specific attribute xy should be treated as a trace-level attribute, so that it's included in the trace colouring dialogue of the IvM? In which plugin and how specifically?

Best, Frank

    Hi Frank,

    Inductive visual Miner will indeed show all trace attributes in the "trace colouring" dialog. However, in a csv file, only events have attributes (as there is no specific notion of a trace in a csv file). To lift attributes from events to traces, you can use the plug-in "Copy attributes from event-level to trace-level". This will copy the attributes from events to the traces. (please make sure that the attributes are actually encoded in the XES-log on the events before calling this plug-in)

    PS. Please note that up to ProM 6.8, only 7 colours were supported. In the nightly build and any subsequent releases, this limitation has been dropped for numeric or time-based attributes.
