Finding the process name for a specific application

The Event Processing Rules let you create individual rules for specific applications. In Task Mining, these applications are handled by the name of their respective operating system process. This name is usually different from the application name as it is shown in the Windows start menu or the title of the application window.

Important

The process name is case-sensitive. You must use the exact name of the process, including the case, for the application to be captured in the event processing rules. Don't include the file extension.

Here's how to get the correct process name for your application:

  1. Start the application.

  2. Start the Windows Task Manager.

  3. Find the running task, and right click to open its context menu. Select Properties.

  4. Copy and use the process name from the box at the start of the General tab. This process name has the correct case. Don't use the file extension .exe.
