Process analysts are great at finding answers.
But too often, they’re blocked by one thing: the data doesn’t quite have the dimensions they need.
With Calculated Attributes, that changes.
Instead of going back to IT or rebuilding data pipelines, analysts can now add new business logic directly inside their analysis — creating new, reusable attributes on top of existing process data.
Create once. Use everywhere.
In the past, defining something like this usually meant writing SIGNAL again and again in different widgets, or worse, keeping versions of the logic in Excel sheets, notes, or someone’s personal workspace. Over time, things drifted, definitions changed, and nobody was quite sure which version was the right one anymore. What seemed like a simple logic update might require hundreds of minor changes in many different places.
Calculated Attributes put an end to that.
You can now define your business logic once inside of a Calculated Attribute and it automatically becomes an extension of your process data model. From that moment on, everyone can use it in dashboards, filters, other calculations, and visualizations without rewriting or copying anything. Even colleagues who don’t write SIGNAL are now empowered to make use of these attributes and build their own widgets with drag and drop, benefiting from the work that experts have already done.
The result is a single, shared understanding of your business logic that scales across teams and use cases. Less duplication, less confusion, and a lot more confidence in the numbers you’re looking at.
Calculated Attribute that categorizes a case into one of three on-time delivery buckets
That’s how your process data stops being static and starts becoming a living model that grows with every new question you ask.
