Is it possible to open link to view with filter in link parameter?

Hi, I would like to link from a dashboard to a View with Process Explorer. In the dashboard, an object is selected and I would like to give the object identifier with the link to celonis, so that I can filter in the process explorer based on that (so that I only see this individual object and it’s event log).Is this possible to achieve with a Celonis View?Many Thanks,

How to analyze User behaviour within Views for UX improvement?

Dear all,I was wondering if there are any approaches on how to measure how endusers are actually using the dashboards. With the purpose of improving usability.Does anyone have any approach on how to do this within the platform or by any workarounds on logs or even third party tools? Do you have any other appraoch to determine what the user really needs? Example key question would be:Which views get accessed how often?Which tabs get viewed how often?Which filters get used?Context: Naturally when developing custom dashboards you are implementing a lot of small requirements and end up always adding more functionally and therefore complexity. To have an aggregated analysis on how the users navigate a series of linked dashboards would help to remove less frequent used parts.

How to download a zip file from ML Workbench directory?

I have generated a zip file with the content-cli module and now I need to download it locally, but every time I press the “Download” button it creates an HTML file. That HTML redirects me to a “Secure download” which re-downloads the same HTML. How can I avoid the HTML and just retrieve the zip file?

Concat references

Hi together, there's spaghetti in my head. I have the feeling like it should be possible, but can't figure out how to.I've a table like this A B 0 NULL 1 0 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 1 Column A contains the case key, B can contain a case key as a reference. E.g. case 1 refers to case 0. And the cases 2, 3, 4, and 5 refer to case 1. Now I want to "turn around" the reference so that there is a new column that shows e.g. for case 1 that it's referenced by 2, 3, 4, and 5. The result should look like this: A B C 0 NULL 1 1 0 2, 2, 3, 4 2 1 NULL 3 1 NULL 4 1 NULL 5 1 NULL Any ideas?

Send messages through Google chat

Hi everyone, I have an issue that I would like to share in case anyone knows how to solve it.I’m currently looking for a way to send messages to multiple end users by Google Chat. I don’t want to send messages to a group, but instead to end users. I noticed that Celonis provides a module called "Inject Message Into Room", but I need the webhook URL from each user. Additionally, I cannot send messages bigger than 4096 characters.Does anyone know if there is another module where I can use just the email address from users to send a message through Google Chat to each one of them, and change the length of the message body limitation, since there are some messages that might exceed the 4096 characters.Thanks!

Combine ERDAT and ERZET fields into single timestamp

Using PQL in the VBFA table, I need to combine the date and time into a single timestamp.Both the ERDAT (date) and  ERZET (time) fields are formatted as complete timestamps in our data model.I succeeded by converting both fields to strings, combining them, then converting the combined string back to a date.TO_DATE(TO_STRING ("VBFA"."ERDAT" , FORMAT ( '%Y-%m-%d' ) )||' '||TO_STRING("VBFA"."ERZET", format ('%H:%M:%S')), FORMAT ( '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' ) )Is there a more direct approach I could use to obtain the same result? The conversion to string seems  unnecessary.Thank you.

Need help with PQL filtering

Hi,What I’m trying to do is essentially pick the last but one non-automated user from the event log and pull it to object level. The previous non-automated user needs to be different from the last non-automated user.In the sample data shown below the desired output would be JANE.I’ve tried looping one PU_LAST and using it as filter for another PU_LAST but doesn't seem to be working.PU_LAST( OBJECT ,  EVENT_LOG , EVENT_LOG NOT IN (PU_LAST( OBJECT, EVENT_LOG,EVENT_LOG NOT IN (‘AUTOMATED’) ))  ,  ’AUTOMATED’).EVENT LOG ID USER 1 JACK 2 JANE 3 JOHN 4 AUTOMATED 5 JOHN  Any insights would be much appreciated.

having issues using PU within another PU as filter

Hi ,I am trying to use a PU function and use the result as a filter within another PU function.When i try below PQL it works fine.PU_LAST( OBJECT, EVENT_LOG,EVENT_LOG NOT IN ( PU_LAST(OBJECT,EVENT_LOG)))But when i try to add another argument for the ‘not in ‘ it returns nulls . In this example the ‘ABC’ is the additional argument for the ‘not in’ PU_LAST( OBJECT, EVENT_LOG,EVENT_LOG NOT IN ( PU_LAST(OBJECT,EVENT_LOG),’ABC’)) .have also tried splitting the filter using AND but still same issue persists.Any insights would be much appreciated.

How to sort the filter in Platform Adoption View

In the Platform Adoption View downloaded from the Marketplace, there is a filter bar, and the list of dropdown values in each filter is sorted alphabetically. However, I noticed that there are numbers displayed next to each value, indicating the number of views.I would like to know if it's possible to sort the list by the number of views (e.g., from highest to lowest) instead of alphabetically by name. Alternatively, is there a way to hide the number of views displayed next to each value? Example of dropdown filter:

Executing Data Model Schedule from Action Flow

Hi,Do you know if there is a way to execute an already exist Schedule in the Data Model from the Action flow. I have an Action Flow that updates some fields in the source system, and I want the data jobs (extraction, transformations, and data model load) to be executed as the last step of the Action Flow, so the updates will be available in the dashboard as well. Thanks.

Form Design in Celonis

Hey, I’m beginner in Celonis and started my learning. I wanted to know Can we build a user form which helps me to collect the data from user and store it designated table. I also have set of rules for forms like show this field if user in particular role or make the field editable only if certain condition matches with current logged in user otherwise just keep it as read only and so on. Can this be achievable in celonis. Looking forward for response. Note: Pease share screenshot how it will look if you have anything sharable in this forum. Thanks & RegardsChethan Shetty

Filtering for last activity of each day.

In an OLAP table, I am looking at sales documents "VBAK"."VBELN".  I only want to see the last change of each day.  How do I filter for the last "_CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES"."EVENTTIME" of each day?  I’ve experimented with PU_MAX, but I keep getting errors.

Input Button Dropdown in JAB Views

Hello everyone, I’m currently migrating an old view to a JAB view. In the old view I had an input dropdown (made with a custom object “Time Dimension” with the content columns: Year, Year-Month, Quarter, Week, Day). In the new JAB view I now want to implement this as well (filtering charts according to Quarter, Week and so forth). I’m already aware of the Celonis documentation: Configuring user inputs (input box, input dropdown, button), but this is really too intransparent for me.  Can someone give me a step by step guide on how to implement this?I already created a variable as object like this: {"Year": "String","Year-Month": "String","Quarter": "String","Week": "String","Day": "String"} However, within the input dropdown component, I don’t know how to proceed as the dimensions Year, Year-Month, Quarter, Week, Day are not stored in a single attribute/dimension. They are all calculated with the EVENTTIME separately. Thanks in advance! Best regardsJulia Bauer

Add Powerpoint Attachment to Mail Sent by AF

Hello everyone, this is my current AF setup: The setup works fine, however, I have received the requirement to add a powerpoint attachment to the mail sent via the AF. This powerpoint is static and is only a training document for the recipient. Is it possible to add attachment from your computer to be sent out by the AF itself? I cannot add this via the data and title fields since it’s already ready and static. Thanks! BRJulia Bauer

How to filter table rows based on aggregated column values in Celonis?

Hi everyone, I’m working on an analysis in Celonis and I have a question regarding filtering table rows.In my case, one of the columns in my table displays a sum of values retrieved from the backend (e.g., SUM("SomeColumn")). I would like to exclude all rows where this sum equals zero, so they don’t appear in the final table.How can I apply such a filter directly in the table configuration or via a filter condition?Thanks in advance for your help!

Identifying the First Instance of an Activity as well as Its Follow-up Activity

HelloIn a scenario where there are multiple instances of “WIP CB IP” activity, I am trying to identify the first instance along with the next activity taken by a user.  I am easily able to identify the first WIP activity (highlighted in blue) using PU_FIRST.  However, when I attempt to identify the next activity following the first WIP, I end up retrieving the activity for the 2nd WIP line (highlighted in yellow and red).   I would like to report on the activity highlighted in green.I have tried wrapping the PU_FIRST within the ACTIVITY_LEAD but the syntax failed indicating that “/IRM/IPCBITM” is not within the Activity table.  I have also attempted to use a CASE WHEN statement but that just generated two WIP lines.  I am only interested in the first instance of WIP.Thanks in advance,Phil

Use App Key for content-cli in ML workbench

Hi all,I would like to export datapools as json using content-cli in the ML workbench in order to backup them in Git. I have created an API key in my profile and used it in a python script with content-cli pull data-pool --id data-pool-id, which successfully generated a json of the datapool.However, I don't want to do this with a user-based API key but with an Application key (created under admin&settings).When I run the same command using the Application key, I get the error "error: The provided team or api key is wrong."With get_celonis(api_token=“applicationkey”, key_type="APP_KEY") however, I can see the Application key and all its permissions.Is content-cli possible with an Application key and if so, how can I use it?
