Calculate and Count First and Last Activities

Hello everyone,I'm working with classic process data: Case ID, Activities, and Timestamps.I want to list all first activities and all last activities, and count them by case. This way, I can see which activities my variants start and end with, and how many variants they cover.Ideally, I’d like this in two tables—so I can select a starting activity and see the corresponding ending activities in the other table.I’m assuming it’s fairly easy but i can not manage to do this..Kind regards, Niklas

Filter Statments Extractions

I need to use a filter in my extraction, but the field in the table I'm bringing it from has a separate name "Date Archived" Example.When I use it like this "Date Archived" >= '2024-01-01 00:00:00', it doesn't load, I believe it's because of the space between the column name. Does anyone know how to solve this?I've tried to put the column as a parameter, but I still can't.

Error message: Calculated attribute ["MARC"."COND_MBEW_COMPL_VPRSV"] cannot be used inside a FILTER because it takes filters into account.

Hi all,  I created an attribute (“MARC”.”cond_mbew_compl_vprsv”) as a boolean with the following formular:CASE WHEN(  ( "MARC"."BESKZ" = 'E' AND ( PU_FIRST("MARC",FILTER_TO_NULL ("MBEW"."VPRSV")) NOT IN ( 'S' ) OR PU_FIRST("MARC",FILTER_TO_NULL ("MBEW"."STPRS")) = 0 ))    OR  ("MARC"."BESKZ" = 'F' AND ( PU_FIRST("MARC",FILTER_TO_NULL ("MBEW"."VPRSV")) NOT IN ( 'V' ) OR PU_FIRST("MARC",FILTER_TO_NULL ("MBEW"."VERPR")) = 0)))THEN 1 ELSE 0 END Now I want filter like followed: FILTER "MARC"."cond_mbew_compl_vprsv" = 1 This does not work and I got the following error message: Calculated attribute ["MARC"."COND_MBEW_COMPL_VPRSV"] cannot be used inside a FILTER because it takes filters into account. Can you help me what I should change? Thank you. Regards

Change Year in Fiscal Year in a KPI

Hello all,I used this formular to get the average time of late payment:AVG((DAYS_BETWEEN(PU_FIRST("BSEG", "_CEL_AR_ACTIVITIES"."EVENTTIME","_CEL_AR_ACTIVITIES"."ACTIVITY_EN" = 'Due Date passed'),"BSEG"."TS_AUGDT")) - <%= buffer1 %> ) This works well but when I filter on Fiscal Year the KPI is wrong because our Fiscal Year is not similar to Calendar Year. Our Fiscal Year starts always in october. How can I change my formular that the KPI is calculated for example from october 2024 til september 2025 when I selected 2025 as Fiscal Year. Thanks and best regards.

Adjustments Process Explorer

Hi,Is it possible to adjust the settings of a Process Explorer on how it opens inside a view, like the zoom level or which Events are shown?Right now, there are too many events displayed in the Process Explorer, and my users need to zoom manually to see the names of the activities and their KPI values. I would like to change the initial zoom settings to a higher value or to show only the activities that don't display 0 in their primary KPI, if that's possible.Many thanks for any help, Fabian

Need Help Fixing PQL script to look for a variable direct after a wildcard search using the LIKE function

Hi,I need help fixing my PQL scriptCASE  WHEN "SHOPPING_DETAILS_DESC" LIKE '%CRIT% 1%' THEN 'Criteria 1'  WHEN "SHOPPING_DETAILS_DESC" LIKE '%CRIT% 3%' THEN 'Criteria 3'  WHEN "SHOPPING_DETAILS_DESC" LIKE '%CRIT% 5%' THEN 'Criteria 5'  ELSE NULLEND I am trying task search in a text field (Shopping_Details_Desc) for cases where ‘%CRIT%’ is identified. I would then like the code to assign a Criteria when the number ‘1’, ‘3’ or ‘5’ follow directly after the we wildcard search. I am pulling errors because there are other numbers in the text description and the code is incorrectly assigning them because it is find any any ‘1’ (as an example) that comes after ‘CRIT’ and then calling it a ‘Criteria 1’, even when it is a Criteria 3.  My issue is that sometimes our operators are miss writing the text so we are trying to capture either CRIT or CRITERIA, or anything in between - which is why I want a wild card.  I was able to write a statement in DAX to be able to look for a number assigned direc

BPMN model mapping with eventlog activities

My event log is too granular compared to the BPMN model. How can I  aggregate multiple small system events into one logical activity that matches my BPMN model? Is there any documentation or training on the most common challenges faced during the conformance checking with Imported BPMN model?

How to Recreate Button Dropdowns in New Views

Hello everyone,I understand that the button dropdown is still not available in the new Views. Has anyone managed to recreate a similar functionality? For example in the analysis I have two button dropdowns and for each one of them I have manually inputted 5-6 categories (Local Supplier, Company Code, MSGK, PO number etc.). Each category is updating two variables (one is for the name of the column and other is PQL calculation in OLAP table). Categories from button one are updating variables in column A while the categories in button two are updating variables in column D. I need to achieve something similar in the new Views, but the documentation for the Input Dropdown isn’t entirely clear to me. Has anyone implemented this successfully? If so, how did you manage it?Thanks in advance for your help!

Comments/Augmented attributes

Hello everyone,I would like to create option for users where they can leave comments. I would like for this option to be connected to a chart (let say it’s a chart showing number of blocked documents per month) and I would like to allow users to leave comments for February (number of blocked documents was really high compered to other months). But the issue is that for comments and augmented attribute identifier needs to be unique and I cannot configure it. So if someone has some idea I would be grateful.  Also in documentation they configured comments with variables but when i put variable for DOC ID (VIM_1HEAD.DOCID) and use that variable as identifier it’s not working. Any idea what should be put there? Thank you!

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?

Multiple attribute selection in new views

Hi Guys, what’s up ? I wanted to ask if there is any way we can selection multiple attributes in new views and update variable based on it. Currently, the ‘multiple’ option is disabled for attribute selection. I tried with free text but it just adds additional single quotes in beginning and end of the string, so those single quotes should be removed to consider it as table and fields. for ex. “table”.”field” is considered as ‘“table”.”field”’.
