Hello, I’ve registered today to access the Celonis Free Plan demo platform (with demo data, etc), but I can’t seem to find the link needed to get to it. I’ve tried using https://id.celonis.cloud/ but it only gets me to a User Management screen. Thank you

Connect MongoDB – Database Type Issue

Hi everyone,I’m trying to connect MongoDB to Celonis. At first, I assumed that I’d need to use a custom JDBC driver (based on a thread that I’ve read here and the Celonis documentation).However, when I reached the step to select the “Database Type” in the connector, I couldn’t find a fitting option for MongoDB.Has anyone successfully set this up?Should I use a specific Database Type in this case? Or is there another workaround to get MongoDB connected?Thanks for any tips or guidance!

Hi, we’re planning to use task mining for one of our customers.Would it be possible to install a desktop application on employees’ laptops without them noticing?Also, once the application has been installed, can it be run silently so that employees are not aware that they are being monitored?

Request for Re-attempt of Rising Star Program Business Assessment

Unfortunately, despite my strong dedication to completing the program successfully, I have encountered some challenges that prevented me from obtaining the certification. My first attempt at the business assessment was disrupted due to an unexpected technical issue during the exam, which caused me to lose that opportunity. In my second attempt, I unfortunately did not pass the test. As a result, I currently remain uncertified, which is disheartening given the effort I have invested throughout the program.WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW ?

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 get KPIs values through PyCelonis?

Hi everyone, some months ago, I faced a challenge related to getting variables from a view using PyCelonis. Today I have another challenge where I need to get the result from multiple KPIs and send it back to the data pool.At the beginning, I used the module “Get Rows” from action flows, and I was able to get the values from each KPI. However, in some KPIs, the values that I’m getting inside actions flows, are completely different from the ones that exist in an OLAP’s table where those KPIs are being used. I don’t understand the reason for this, so I was thinking of a workaround solution with PyCelonis, where I would get the values from each KPI and create a dataframe that can be sent to the datapool.I can see in the documentation that we can get the values from records, but only of those records that exist in a data model. But I cannot see in the documentation how to deal with KPIs.Does anyone know if is there a way to get the value of multiple KPIs with PyCelonis, pls?

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,

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.

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.

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:
