Create a Model

An Insight model provides a grammar for describing the milestones of a business process that are key for tracking performance metrics and potential bottlenecks.

Insight Administrators, Business Users/Analysts, and Integration Architects can create and edit models.

To create a model:

1. On the Models page, click Create.

   Note:

   You can also create a new model in the Insight Designer (in the Integrations feature in Oracle Integration) if it does not yet exist. See Map Milestones to Integration Actions.
2. In the Create Model dialog, enter a name and optional description for the new model, then click Create.

   The Model Editor opens with the new model in Draft status. The new model includes two milestones: the first milestone is an Initial milestone and the last milestone is a Terminal milestone. These preseeded milestones are mandatory and cannot be removed from the model. You will add milestones between these two default milestones.

   
   
   

3. In the Model Editor, complete the following tasks:
   • Click the arrow next to the model’s icon, then choose an image to represent it.
   • Click the Name & Description tab, then enter a Business Transaction Label and Business Transactions Label that represent singular and plural terms, respectively, for business transactions that are understandable by Business Executives, such as "Order" and "Orders".
     
     
     
     
   • Define milestones in the model that you will map to points in the business process implementation. See Define Milestones.
   • Define a unique instance identifier for the model. See Define a Unique Instance Identifier.
   • Define dimensions and measures for indicators. See Define Indicators.
4. Click Save to save the model.

   A confirmation message appears. The model is created and is in Draft status.
