Product Q&A

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.

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,

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.

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?

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:

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.

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.

Hi, i have a Bar chart with the time axis on the x-axis and on the y axis how much the money was. Is there a way to break down the y axis graph into the specific vendor_names, there are around ten. How could i do it in a view.  Thanks in advance

Hi together, I'm working with legacy views and can't manage to pass the value of an augmented attribute of type date to a variable to use it as parameter for KPIs. The record containing the augmented attribute  - id: CM_MONTHS    identifier:      id: id      displayName: Id      pql: '"CM_MONTHS"."MONTH"'    attributes: []    newAttributes: []    augmentedAttributes:      - id: late_creation_deadline_date        displayName: "Late Creation: deadline date"        possibleValues: []        columnType: DATE        format: "%Y-%m-%d"        housekeeping: false        type: AUGMENTED_ATTRIBUTE    flags: []    priorities: []    triggers: []    businessRules: []    type: RECORD    origin: PACKAGE The component to update the augmented attribute  type: table  settings:    data:

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: 

Hello everyone,I want to restrict access to a specific column in a data model so that non-admins cannot see the values in that column or the column itself. Is there a way to achieve this using data permissions? Thank you!Best,Emilia

In an OLAP table, I am looking at sales documents "VBAK"."VBELN".  I only want to see the last change of each day.  How do I filter for the last "_CEL_O2C_ACTIVITIES"."EVENTTIME" of each day?  I’ve experimented with PU_MAX, but I keep getting errors.

Hello everyone, I’m currently migrating an old view to a JAB view. In the old view I had an input dropdown (made with a custom object “Time Dimension” with the content columns: Year, Year-Month, Quarter, Week, Day). In the new JAB view I now want to implement this as well (filtering charts according to Quarter, Week and so forth). I’m already aware of the Celonis documentation: Configuring user inputs (input box, input dropdown, button), but this is really too intransparent for me.  Can someone give me a step by step guide on how to implement this?I already created a variable as object like this: {"Year": "String","Year-Month": "String","Quarter": "String","Week": "String","Day":

Hello everyone, this is my current AF setup: The setup works fine, however, I have received the requirement to add a powerpoint attachment to the mail sent via the AF. This powerpoint is static and is only a training document for the recipient. Is it possible to add attachment from your computer to be sent out by the AF itself? I cannot add this via the data and title fields since it’s already ready and static. Thanks! BRJulia Bauer

Hi everyone, I’m working on an analysis in Celonis and I have a question regarding filtering table rows.In my case, one of the columns in my table displays a sum of values retrieved from the backend (e.g., SUM("SomeColumn")). I would like to exclude all rows where this sum equals zero, so they don’t appear in the final table.How can I apply such a filter directly in the table configuration or via a filter condition?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I am trying to create a list of Action Flows using PyCelonis and I want to also add status if the Action Flow is currently active or not. I was trying to do it .get_action_flow(id).dict()/json()/json_dict() but there is no parameter there that would indicate if the Action Flow is activated or not.Thanks in advance for any replies :)

HelloIn a scenario where there are multiple instances of “WIP CB IP” activity, I am trying to identify the first instance along with the next activity taken by a user.  I am easily able to identify the first WIP activity (highlighted in blue) using PU_FIRST.  However, when I attempt to identify the next activity following the first WIP, I end up retrieving the activity for the 2nd WIP line (highlighted in yellow and red).   I would like to report on the activity highlighted in green.I have tried wrapping the PU_FIRST within the ACTIVITY_LEAD but the syntax failed indicating that “/IRM/IPCBITM” is not within the Activity table.  I have also attempted to use a CASE WHEN statement but that just generated two WIP lines.  I am only interested in the first instance of WIP.Thanks in advance,Phil  

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?

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

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

Hello everyone,I’m trying to create a new Record and Attribute in the Knowledge Model, but it seems that after creating them, I can’t use them.Record: "o_celonis_Material"Attribute:pu_last( "o_celonis_Material", bind("o_celonis_StockHistory", "o_celonis_MaterialMasterPlant"."id"), left("o_celonis_MaterialMasterPlant"."id", 3) = 'p18' ) Does anyone have any idea?
