Hi,

Apromore Core does not include the “Filter” function. The Filter button does appear but it does not work because the libraries for applying filters are not present in ApromoreCore.

The “Filters” are only supported in Apromore Enterprise Edition (EE). Apromore EE contains Apromore Core plus filters, dashboard, simulation, conformance checking, model comparison (and some other modules). It is available in a commercial license (SaaS or onprem).

Apromore Core has the following modules:

  • Importer (importing models and logs)
  • Portal (storing and sharing models and logs)
  • Process Discoverer: for discovery of process maps and BPMN process models
  • Model Editor: creating and editing process models
  • Support for English and Japanese (new languages planned for 2022)

There is an old open-source version of apromore that did contain some minimal filters: Apromore Communty Edition v7.15. You can still get it here (unmaintained):

Apromore Community Edition shares the same features as Apromore Core and also has some discontinued features that some Apromore open-source users might wish to retain:

  • A discontinued version of the log animator (now redeveloped for Apromore Enterprise)
  • A discontinued version of log filtering (redeveloped for Apromore Enterprise)
  • Stage discovery.
