Demo - Triggering an Action Flow from a table

Hello all, I'm really excited to announce a recent feature update for Action Flows. It is now possible to trigger an Action Flow directly from a table in View using the dropdown input feature.This allows users to choose an option from a predefined dropdown list when taking an action from a view. This choice is then passed on to the Action Flows as an input and therefore enables advanced human-in-the-loop use cases.  You can find further documentation here.

Experiences with Process Adherence Manager

Hi everyone,the company I work at is interested in using the Process Adherence Manager (PAM). We already started setting it up for a first use case. While doing so, we encountered some questions. We would be very happy if some of you could share your experiences with PAM, particularly regarding (but not only limited to) the following questions:How do you handle numerous deviations that might be acceptable in some cases but not in others? Is it better to filter on each variant based on known attributes and break it down by creating multiple PAM instances? Or can it be a solution to create a lot of “allowed deviations”? Is PAM more suitable for complex processes including multiple objects or is it more effective to look at little sub-processes individually? The idea behind this question is that when a large process with deviating variants, the conformance rate tends to be low. Do you have experience if there are any types of processes where PAM is strong at and if there are processes whe

Process analysis

Hello,To better analyze the Service Now process (a very complex process with many parallel tasks and loops...) in Celonis, is it preferable to use the pm_project and pm_project_task tables or the sys_audit tables?Thank you,

Daily Average of IDs, daily period is dynamic (depends on Graph)

Hi all,I have a set of IDs/Case Keys that is spread accross 2023-2025. Focusing on 2024, I would like to calculate the daily average based on the Last activity dates.These IDs are divided in products, so when I create an OLAP table in Studio Views, then it takes the IDs per product, for large samples it’s closer to a correct daily average. On the other hand, when the product has 1 or 2 case IDs, then the Daily average is far from correct.Instinctively, I believe I should create a DOMAIN_TABLE but it doesn’t work. I tried using GLOBAL but it is not accepted.Hereby the code i’m using:Originaly:KPI("number_of_cases")/(  MAX (REMAP_TIMESTAMPS (PU_LAST("PROD_CASE_TABLE_DR", "PROD_ACTIVITY_TABLE_DR"."EVENTTIME"), DAYS, WEEKDAY_CALENDAR ( MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY ) ))-MIN (REMAP_TIMESTAMPS (PU_LAST("PROD_CASE_TABLE_DR", "PROD_ACTIVITY_TABLE_DR"."EVENTTIME"), DAYS, WEEKDAY_CALENDAR ( MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY ) ))+1) orKPI("number_of_cases")/(DATEDIFF ( dd, PU_LA

Multi value search for filtering Views

Hi everyone,With the latest views in Celonis, is there a way to filter multiple values across one or more dimensions in one go?For example, I want to filter all the purchase orders where field vendor name contain any of the following: ‘zxc’,’et’,’corp’ - without having to manually select each value one by one from filter dropdowns.Is there a more efficient way to achieve this instead of configuringdropdowns to select dimensions, input boxes to enter search patterns, and variables?For multiple dimensions, this setup becomes impractical.Thanks in advance!

Package Dependencies - Update of Views

Hello Celopeers,  we would like to start using the Package Dependencies to maintain several package as DEV and one package as PROD. For KMs seems everything working fine with the KM extensions. We want to follow similar approach also in case of Views. Creating a View in DEV package and automatically synchronize the change made here to the PROD package.After some tests, we realized that changes made to View in DEV package are not reflected in the PROD package when updating the dependency.As per following description, we understood that this shoud be possible:By adding a package as a dependency, its Views and Knowledge Models can be reused using this extension mechanism. Does someone has experience with the Dependencies usage on Views and could help us overcome our issue? Thanks a lot.Jan

Throughput time based on first occurrence and ignore multiple/duplicate same activities

Hello all, I would like to calculate the througput time from activity to next different activity.The Challenge:My process has activities which occurs multiple times with the same name directly one after the other. This is no data issue, the process is designed that way.In case the activity with the same name occurs later in the process again, this should be count as well and not ignored.What is the time to the next activity, which does not have the same name? Process example:Avtivity       TimestampA    01:00 pmB    01:30 pmB    01:45 pmB    02:15 pmC    03:00 pmC    03:20 pmD    03:45 pmE    04:00 pmE    04:50 pmA    05:00 pm Expected Result:Avtivity       DurationA                30minB                1h 30minC                45minD                15minE                10min Does anybody know a solution or a community post, which can help me?

Error when using filter with Case When

Hello,I'm trying to make the DSO indicator, but I need to get data from several tables and I'm having problems...The DSO formula is made up of two parts, Revenue and Accounts Receivable. I need to calculate each one individually and then divide one by the other.I'll use the example of Accounts Receivable:Quando eu uso os campos de Filtro, com os seguintes filtros, funciona sem problemas:FILTER "o_celonis_SalesOrder"."CompanyCodeText" IN ('CompanyNameZYX');FILTER "o_celonis_SalesOrder"."SalesDocumentType" IN ('XXXX', 'YYYY');FILTER "o_custom_CustomerAccountItem"."BaselineDate" <= {t ${end_date}};FILTER "o_custom_CustomerAccountItem"."ClearingDate" > {t ${end_date}} OR "o_custom_CustomerAccountItem"."ClearingDate" IS NULLHowever, when I try to place the same filters in Case when, to generate the indicator that will be combined with Billing, there is a connection problem between the tables (o_celonis_SalesOrder and o_custom_CustomerAccountItem).sum( CASE WHEN "o_celonis_SalesOrd

Using Pu functions instead of Aggregates to be able to Filter KPIs

Hello Celopeers, im new to Celonis and have created a view. There i use a Kpi which drops a lot of zero values. When trying to filter them out i always get the error that aggregated functions can not be used in combination with the FILTER function, and that i should try PU functions. The KPI i'm using is this:SUM( CASE  WHEN round_day("o_custom_KnotenpunktAuftrag"."AusgangForecast") = round_day("o_custom_KnotenpunktFuellstand"."Date")  THEN 1  ELSE 0 END)or alternetively this : COUNT(DISTINCTcase when round_day("o_custom_KnotenpunktAuftrag"."AusgangForecast") =round_day("o_custom_KnotenpunktFuellstand"."Date") then  "o_custom_KnotenpunktFuellstand"."KnotenpunktAuftrag_ID"end) is simply want to calculate for each KnotenpunktFuellstand.Date, how many Order.IDs i have where the filter condition is met.So i can have a table where im using the date plus KPI to see, how many outgoing orders i can except for each date. How can i have a row-count, based on a condition formulated as a PU functi

Variant Explorer: Add custom KPIs

Hi all I am wondering how to best add a custom KPI defintion to the Variant Explorer.Mainly I want to add my custom process specific defintion of a througphuttime. Me and my endusers don’t care about the default End2End TPT that Celonis always uses as default but rather the time between two specific activities.Instead of (or at least additionally to) the “Avg TPT” Column in the selection panel I would like to use my Metric “Median CustomProcesstime”.Does anyone know if this panel can be changed? Maybe via YAML?

What is the best practice when I describe the process map like TMForum

Dear all, I’d like to describe the process map like TMForum in the Process Designer .Like this : https://www.tmforum.org/certifications-awarded/huawei-digital-crm/business-process-framework/ TMForum eTOMThere are the horizontal part and vertical part.When we use the hierarchical edit alone, it cannot describe so I think that graphic is useful for me to do that. In graphic edition, we can use some diagram like ppt, but this will not be stractured.So I’d like to keep stractured and reuse the process I made as possible as I can. I ask you to advice on which parts should be presented as graphics and which parts should be structured as text. Regards,

Assign Costs, depending on the predecessor

Hello,I am quite new to PQL and I tried to assign costs to spesific activities depending on the predecessor.When B is followed by C, only C should be assigned with certain costs. When A is followed by C, again C should be assigned with costs, but with a different value. The result should look like this:CaseID Time Activity Costs 150488 07:34 A   150488 08:30 B   150488 09:23 C 0,84 150488 09:45 D   150488 10:34 A   150488 11:45 C 1,56 150488 v E     I tried this with the following code: CASE  WHEN "ActivityTable"."Activity" = 'C'   AND MATCH_PROCESS_REGEX (    "ActivityTable"."Activity",    'A' >> 'C'   ) = 1  THEN 1.56 WHEN "ActivityTable"."Activity" = 'C'    AND MATCH_PROCESS_REGEX (    "ActivityTable"."Activity",    'B' >> 'C'    ) = 1   THEN 0.84 ELSE 0END Unfortunately the table looks like that, so it assigns the wrong costs: CaseID Time Activity Costs 150488 07:34 A   150488 08:30 B   150488
