ABSTRACT:
A method and system for processing the data of any one of a variety of processes without doing a total custom design for each process. The system includes a computer and database that communicates with various monitors of the process to gather, store and retrieve the process data. A user interfaces to the computer via a client device. The computer includes a program that identifies events and activities of the process based on input from the user or from process data collected as the process runs. Attributes of the events and activities are also identified. These events, activities and attributes are classified according to a data structure that includes event types, activity types and attribute types. Storage volumes are allocated to each of the defined event types and/or activity types for storage and retrieval of the data by attribute type. The composite event or activity data can be retrieved in multiple views, such as row, column, graphical and the like.
