Benchmark view without variables

I am trying to build a benchmarking view so users can compare two different configurations of filters applied to the process. These filters can have different nature: process filters using process explorer, business attributes with dropdown components, etc.

I already achieved this in the past using legacy views. I just created an aux view that I embedded twice in a parent view, making sure that the filters did not propagate from one to the other. This was super helpful, since the embedded views even had an upper panel that showed what filters were applied in each benchmarking side. As you can see, no variables were being used.

I am now trying to build the same thing in the enhanced views, but I am not able to do it since the embedded views option is not available anymore. I did an attempt using modules, even with different knowledge models, but it did not work as expected.

Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks

hey so the embedded views approach you used in legacy is basically gone in enhanced views but there is actually a proper way to do this now.
 

Celonis Studio has a native benchmarking view architecture where you use benchmark variables, basically benchmark1 and benchmark2 acting as two independent filter contexts side by side. your dropdowns and process filters feed into each variable separately so they dont bleed into each other which is exactly what you were manually solving before with the double embed trick. you can read more about this here https://docs.celonis.com/en/creating-benchmarks-in-views.html and also the enhanced variables docs here https://docs.celonis.com/en/enhanced-variables.html
 

the view modules feature is there too and it sounds like what you tried but for benchmarking specifically the recommended path is the benchmark variables approach not modules, more on that here https://docs.celonis.com/en/guidelines-benchmarking.html. also found a community thread with basically the same problem you described which might help https://community.celonis.com/general-product-q-a-2/hi-i-am-working-with-views-and-trying-to-create-two-process-explorers-within-one-page-and-to-make-benchmark-possible-i-need-independent-filter-dropdowns-4089

Hi @gagan1,

Thank you for your response. I’ve created several benchmark views using variables in line with Celonis’ guidelines, but unfortunately this approach doesn’t fully cover the functionality I was expecting.

With embedded views, users could apply process filters (via the Process Explorer) that remained scoped within the embedded view itself. This enabled much more flexibility, as users could explore freely without relying on pre-defined KPIs. In contrast, the variables-based approach requires filters to be implemented in advance by an analyst, which limits that level of interactivity.

I hope this clarifies my point. It’s a bit disappointing that Enhanced Views don’t currently support this capability, as it was particularly valuable in practice.

Kind regards,
