# Start

The landing page (Start) of the SPM Cockpit has the purpose of providing a navigation through the collaboration pattern
detection process. Therefore, each step has a **step card**, which provides the functionalities for the respective step.
Depending on the state of the process, buttons may be hidden or disabled.

## Step cards

### Steps

The six steps are:

- [Import Event Log](1_Import_Event_Log.md) - To provide the necessary input data, upload an `XES` event log.
- [Preprocessing and Process Discovery Configuration](2_PM_Config.md) - To define how the process model instances look
  like, define the configuration.
- [Process Models](3_Process_Models.md) - View the visualizations of the mined process instances models.
- [Pattern Detection](4_Frequent_Subgraph_Mining.md) - Define how the patterns should be discovered.
- [Pattern Clustering](5_Graph_Set_Clustering.md) - Define how the patterns should be clustered.
- [Collaboration Pattern Repository](6_Collaboration_Pattern_Repository.md) - View, upload, or download the
  collaboration patterns.

### Color codes

The step cards are highlighted based on the state of the respective step.
Therefore, the colors of the step cards indicate the status:

- <span style="color:rgb(13,202,240)">Blue background</span> / Gray number icon: Current Step
- Gray background / <span style="color:#198754">Green number icon</span>: Step completed
- Gray background / Gray number icon: Future step\*

<sup> \*It is always possible to manage the [Collaboration Pattern Repository](6_Collaboration_Pattern_Repository.md)</sup>

## Navigation

The buttons within the step cards link to sub-pages of the related step.
On all sub-pages, a `Start` button in the top left corner can be clicked to navigate back to the landing page.
Grey buttons provide further information about the named action.
