Time required: 15 minutes

Prerequisites

Before starting:

• Flow Myna account (sign up at flowmyna.com)
• CSV file with process data (or use our sample data)
• Basic understanding of your process

Step 1: Create Your Workspace (1 minute)

Your workspace is the foundation—where all data and team collaboration happens.

Actions

1. Sign in to Flow Myna
2. Click + New Workspace
3. Enter details:
   • Name: "My Process Analysis"
   • Description: "Learning Flow Myna with loan application data"
4. Click Create Workspace

Step 2: Upload Your Data (5 minutes)

Use the AI-powered wizard to transform your CSV into process-ready format.

Actions

2.1 Create New Dataset

1. Select your process type or pick Custom Process if your process is not listed
2. Click Continue to Upload

2.2 Upload Files

1. Drag and drop your CSV files
2. Or click to browse and select
3. Click Upload All
4. Wait for upload to complete and click Proceed to Mapping

2.3 Auto-Mapping (Wait 1-2 minutes)

• Watch as AI agents analyze your data
• Progress updates show in real-time

2.4 Manual Mapping Review (Human in the Loop)

1. Review the discovered object types (e.g. Loans, Customers, etc.)
2. Review the discovered event types (e.g. Application Submitted, Credit Check, etc.)
3. Confirm each event types is correctly linked to the appropriate object types
4. Use the comment bubbles throughout to provide feedback on any required changes
5. Once the review is complete and if comments have been added, click Re-run mapping with feedback
6. Repeat the mapping review and feedback cycle as many times as needed
7. When the mapping is finalised, click Approve and Continue

2.5 Data Transformation (Wait 1-2 minutes)

• Agent creates a re-usable transformation plan tailored to your data and using the mapping confirmed in the previous step
• Objects, events and relationships are synced to database

Your Dataset is ready to analyse!

Step 3: Create Your Project (2 minutes)

Set up a focused analysis of your process data.

Actions

1. Click + Create Project from the dataset overview page
2. Enter a Project Name and Description
3. Click + Create Project
4. Select Object Types and related Event Types
   • ✅ Include only one Object Type per project
5. Click "Create Project"

Your Process is ready to explore!

Step 4: Explore the Process Map (3 minutes)

Visualize your entire process flow.

Actions

4.1 View the Map

1. You're automatically on the Process Map page
2. See nodes (activities) and edges (transitions)
3. Observe the thickness of edges (frequency)

4.2 Interact with Nodes

1. Click "Credit Check" node
2. See: 234 cases (94%) went through this activity
3. View timing statistics

4.3 Interact with Edges

1. Click the edge: "Risk Assessment → Manager Approval"
2. Observe duration statistics:
   • Mean: 4.2 days
   • Median: 3.8 days
   • P95: 7.1 days
3. Notice: This is colored red (bottleneck!)

4.4 Identify Patterns

• Follow the thick edges (happy path)
• Look for red edges (slow transitions)
• Notice any loops (rework)

Result: You've identified the Manager Approval bottleneck!

Step 5: Analyze Variants (2 minutes)

See the different paths cases take through your process.

Actions

1. Navigate to "Variants" page (left sidebar)

2. Review Top Variants:

   • Variant 1 (70%): Standard approval path
   • Variant 2 (20%): Expedited path
   • Variant 3 (10%): Rejection path

3. Click Variant 1 to see details:

   • Sequence of activities
   • Average duration: 4.2 days
   • 175 cases follow this path

4. Select Variant 1 and click "Show on Map"

5. Process map highlights this specific variant

Result: Understanding that 70% follow standard path, opportunities exist in the other 30%.

Step 6: Ask the AI Co-Pilot (4 minutes)

Use conversational AI to explore your process.

Actions

6.1 Start a Conversation

1. Navigate to "Co-Pilot" page
2. Type or click starter question: "Show me loans that took longer than 14 days"

AI Response:

• Applies filter automatically
• Shows 45 loans (18%) match
• Process map updates to show only these cases

6.2 Follow Up Ask: "What's the main bottleneck for these slow cases?"

AI Response:

• Identifies Manager Approval as bottleneck
• Shows chart comparing step durations
• Explains this accounts for 37% of total time

6.3 Compare Cohorts Ask: "Compare high-value vs standard loans"

AI Response:

• Creates two filters
• Shows high-value loans take 89% longer
• Breaks down where extra time is spent
• Generates comparison chart

Result: You've discovered insights through conversation!

What You've Accomplished

In just 15 minutes, you:

✅ Set up your workspace and uploaded data ✅ Let AI understand your data structure automatically ✅ Created a focused project for analysis ✅ Explored the process map and identified bottlenecks ✅ Analyzed variants to understand different paths ✅ Used AI co-pilot to ask questions and get insights

Common Next Questions

Q: How do I improve the bottleneck I found? Use AI Insights and Co-Pilot to understand root causes, then implement process changes.

Q: Can I upload more data? Yes! Use "Add to Dataset" to append new data to existing datasets.

Q: How do I compare before/after improvements? Use time-based filters to compare different periods.

Q: What if my process is different from loans? The workflow is the same! Upload your CSV, let AI map it, create a project, and explore.
