Consolidate ARIS Process Language + Fix and expand help documentation

Hi,

As a first time user of ARIS process mining and having written my last SQL 10 years ago, I find the process language and its documentation unnecessarily confusing.

Almost every place in the tool seems to have its own 'process language' variant and the documentation is scattered. Something simple as creating a 'comment' in my code can be done via '--' , '#' or /* */, depending on where you are in the tool. Furthermore, sometimes documentation says an operant/operator is not supported while the tool seems to recognize my input or vice versa (see attached).


A suggestion is to give a proper overview of what is supported where in the tool and to maintain this list until you have consolidated the process language. This can be done as simple as a table (see attached).


Furthermore, please expand the explanation of the process language and use consistent terminology (eg. now both 'filter' and 'selections' are used when describing 'code filter').


Cheers,

Jori
