Filtering the process model
Process model filter overview
You can filter on all objects, events and relationships in the process model. When you filter, you change what is included in the process model and displayed in the process model graph. You have access to multiple filter types and you can also copy your filters to a View in Studio.
Note
When creating filters, it doesn’t matter if the object or event is shown or hidden in the process model. An event is still part of the process model, even if it’s not currently included in the process model graph. If the event count or object count is reduced to zero due to filtering, then the event is no longer displayed in the process model graph.
Viewing data and coverage information
The Data & Coverage Info panel shows the percentage of the total number of objects that remain in the process model after filtering.

You can also view a breakdown of the coverage for all object types remaining by clicking the double arrows in the upper right corner to expand the panel. The Data & Coverage Info shows the coverage rate for each object type meeting the filter criteria.
