Hi Everyone, is there a way to add custom KPI into Process Explorer in View same as we do in Analysis process explorer?

Hi @Gundappa Pujari,

To add custom KPIs to a view, you need to link a Knowledge model to that view. In the knowledge model, you can create custom KPIs.

To add a custom KPI, you can easily click on "Create KPI" and provide the PQL query.

Hi @sverre.klein11 , Thank you for your response. I wanted to add custom KPI into Process Explorer KPI's. Let me know if there is a way to add custom KPI into it apart from standard KPI's.

Hi @Gundappa Pujari,

Ah sorry, I misunderstood your first question, thanks for clarifying.

As far I'm concerned, It is indeed not possible to add custom process explorer kpis to a view,. In that sense, stick to an analysis if you want to use custom process explorer KPIs.

Hi @Gundappa Pujari,

I never added KPIs to the Eventlog, but in the documentation I found signs that it could be possible.

First of all, in the Process Explorer documentation, they refer to custom KPIs, see https://docs.celonis.com/en/process-explorer.html#UUID-fa936c2b-df63-5e61-69a4-1bb2a0280b9e_section-idm4565140199971233518683332013 (scroll to 'selectedKpiViewId' )

In the UI of the Knowledge Model, this option is not available, however, when going to the YAML view, you'll see this option:

Since this is not documented at all, I have no clue what kind of KPI definitions is expected, but I would expect that if you create a KPI and enter the same formula in there as the Analysis Process Explorer, and put the KPI identifier here, it might work.

I'm very curious about the outcome ;)

Hi @janpeter.van.d  kpiViews uner eventLogsMetadata helped me to add the custom KPI's into View Process Explorer.

Thank you :)

Hi @Gundappa Pujari,

Good to hear!

Just out curiosity since I've never used this before, what is the syntax of the KPI you specified?

Also, to help other Celopeers-users, please mark the question as answered :)

Best regards,

Hi @janpeter.van.d ,

I added KPI automation Rate into Process Explorer with below YAML code

eventLogsMetadata:

 kpiViews:

  - id: automationrate

    displayName: Automation Rate

    eventLogKpis:

    - id: automationrate

      nodeKpis:

      - id: automationratenode

        kpiId: automation_rate

      eventLogId: addEVENTLOGID

      displayName: Automation Rate

Thanks for sharing!

Hi, I'm having a similar problem trying to add a custom KPI to my PE. Could you please show the YAML configuration of this process explore? I tried to use the nodeKPI and edgeKPI but it's still not working, the documentation says it is deprecated and I don't find another way to make it work.

Hi @carmem.caval ,

Below is the YAML code for adding an custom KPI to PE.

eventLogsMetadata:

 kpiViews:

  - id: automationrate

    displayName: Automation Rate

    eventLogKpis:

    - id: automationrate

      nodeKpis:

      - id: automationratenode

        kpiId: automation_rate

      eventLogId: addEVENTLOGID

      displayName: Automation Rate

Great, thank you! I was able to add the KPI using your previous comment. My original question was made because even with the custom KPI option showing now, the value that it brings is not correct. I tried to replicate the same KPI in the KPI Card component, and the PQL is working, just not in the PE. Did you have any similar issues?

No, I didn't find any issues. Could you please share your error print screen.

Thanks this question / answers helped me so much. Just a follow up question. How do I get the Automation rate to show on the event "Block" next to the cases? I can only see if if I open the event:
