How would you filter for cases that do not start with the "Receive Order" activity?

• A. Select all cases that include "Receive Order"
• B. Click the dotted line to "Receive Order" and select "Cases with this connection"
• C. Click the dotted line going from "Process Start" to "Receive Order," and select "Cases without this connection"
• D. Reset the view and re-apply all activities again

Answer: (C)

Filtering for cases that do not start with the "Receive Order" activity can be effectively accomplished by selecting the connection from "Process Start" to "Receive Order" and then choosing the option for "Cases without this connection." This method directly addresses the need to exclude those cases that follow the specified path, ensuring that you only analyze the cases that begin with activities other than "Receive Order." This technique leverages the graphical representation of the process, allowing you to visually interact with the relationships and flows of the activities. By clicking the dotted line connecting "Process Start" and "Receive Order," you create a targeted filter that bypasses any cases that follow that sequence, which is precisely what is needed for the requirement. The other options do not effectively filter out the cases as required. Selecting all cases that include "Receive Order" would include, rather than exclude, those cases. Choosing "Cases with this connection" would also not serve the purpose, as it focuses on the cases that do include the activity. Resetting the view and reapplying all activities does not offer a specific filtering mechanism and would require more steps without achieving the desired outcome of excluding cases starting with "Receive Order."
