Product Updates

The filtering capabilities in Process Explorer and Variant Explorer have been updated to allow users to filter their analyses by throughput time (TPT). Using this new feature, users can filter a view for cases where the processing time between two specified activities is either shorter or longer than the specified time period. This allows users to analyze the TPTs between any two events in the process, which can reduce the time required to identify insights.To use the TPT filter function, click the "Calculate throughput time" icon next to the first event and drag the arrow to the second event:Then use the date fields in the Throughput Time filter to set the time threshold and click Apply.Your view refreshes to only show cases where the throughput time between the two selected events falls within the specified range.For more information refer to Throughput time filtering or Throughput time filtering.

Events that are present in your data model but are not included in your target model are known as unexpected events. You can now view unexpected event deviations in your target model graph and select, filter and perform root cause analyses on them exactly as you would for all other deviation types.For more information, see Understanding deviation categories.

You can now allowlist specific event deviations so they display in your target model graph but are not included in Conformance rate calculations.For more information, see Allowlisting deviations in Process Adherence Manager.

When connecting to your source system with the Extractor Builder, you can now configure an OAuth2 (SAML 2.0 Bearer) authentication method. This authentication method provides connectivity to all custom REST API extractors, including SAP SuccessFactors.If you would like to use this authentication method in limited availability, create a ticket at Celopeers.com.To learn more about using an OAuth2 (SAML 2.0 Bearer) authentication method, see: Extractor builder authentication methods. 

Studio’s new Annotation Builder is an AI-enhanced asset that enriches the data in your Process Intelligence Graph (PIG) using Large Language Models (LLMs) to interpret your data.The Annotation Builder is a no-code environment that uses GenAI to structure your data and reason through it to generate decision and action recommendations. You will give Annotation Builder information and guidance in natural language describing how you want it to make decisions and it will use its ability to process natural language to determine which decision makes the most sense. Annotation Builder will produce AI annotations that enrich your data, making it more valuable for analysis and automation.For more information, see Annotation Builder. 

A new AI Settings page was added to the Admin & Settings section of the Celonis Platform that allows Admin users to enable or disable specific AI services. From this new screen, users can track which services are using each asset and view a detailed breakdown of output consumption by each service.Before enabling services, each Admin must  accept the “User consent for enabling AI Services” agreement to activate these service models within the Celonis Platform.The AI service providers tab displays each service provider available in the Celonis Platform along with a toggle switch to turn the services from that provider on or off. If services are not enabled, then products such as Process Copilot or Annotation Builder cannot access these AI services when performing tasks. Admins can also click the Stop AI Services button in the upper right corner to disable all services currently running.Users are asked for confirmation each time they enable or disable a service.Admins can click on a service provider to expand and view the individual AI models available from that provider. Expanding a provider allows users to enable or disable the individual services within the Celonis Platform. 

We've updated the Deductions Leakage app for Accounts Receivable with a new Start Here view to navigate between the app's dashboards. The views Recovery Monitor, Open Deductions, Open Small Value Deductions, and Process View, which were previously tabs in the Deductions Leakage view, are now separate views that you can access separately or from the Start Here view.The Recovery Monitor view has been streamlined to focus on identifying customers with high revenue leakage. There's a more intuitive presentation of the deductions clearing classification, and a customer-level view of deduction metrics. We've also updated the Process View in line with the current Accounts Receivable Starter Kit to show deductions, invoices, and accounting credits as three distinct event logs, for improved insights into the reconciliation and settlement process step.For the instructions to update the app, see Updating the object-centric Deductions Leakage app.

The GR/IR Reconciliation app is a purpose-built solution for the Record-to-Report process, extending into Accounts Payable and Procurement. The app is designed to streamline your reconciliation of goods receipt (GR) and invoice receipt (IR) discrepancies, ensuring timely clearance of aged open items. The app provides a consolidated and prioritized view that enables accounting specialists to track discrepancies, identify aging patterns, and resolve issues efficiently. With advanced filtering, communication workflows, and detailed record-keeping, the app helps teams minimize manual effort, improve balance sheet accuracy, and avoid write-offs. High-level KPIs and analytics further empower users to monitor performance, uncover trends, and address systemic root causes.The GR/IR Reconciliation app is in Limited Availability. If you’d like to try it out, ask your Celonis point of contact. For the app documentation, see GR/IR Reconciliation app - case-centric.

We've built a new version of the Payment Term Checker app using the latest features in Studio. You can easily customize the views with the new Studio experience's enhanced user interface. The app update includes advanced strategy settings, improved short and inconsistent payment term analytics and improved value tracking opportunities. The app has new options to distinguish between PO and non-PO invoices, and to choose whether or not payment behavior is relevant for value calculations. We’ve converted some KPIs to calculated attributes for compatibility with the new Studio experience. We’ve significantly improved the app’s user experience and interface, including value framing and tracking as well as analytical insights relating to payment terms. The Payment Term Checker app that's built on the new Studio experience is available in the Celonis Marketplace as a new package. You won’t be able to download it as an update to your existing object-centric Payment Term Checker app package - you’ll need to download and install it as a new installation (Installing the object-centric Payment Term Checker app has the steps). The new package has the same name as the old package, as it's a replacement for it, and we won’t be updating the old package built with the legacy Studio components.

You can now select and move multiple components simultaneously when editing your Studio Views.When in edit mode, click and drag over the components you want to move or select them via CMD + click (Mac) or CTRL + click (Windows). With the components selected, click and hold the move icon to reposition them within the same View or View tab.For more information about creating Studio Views, see: Views.  

Actions are shortcuts for running predefined tasks, like executing an Action Flow or sending an email, which can be added as a button to your Studio element. From now on, you can add Actions to your Studio Button component. For more information, see Actions in Celonis Platform.

When creating color mapping rules in your Studio Views, you can now define the input using free text fields. In addition to using the values returned from your component queries, the free text field enables the following use cases: Using conditional coloring based on a CASE WHEN statement that contains a KPI. While the default query will return one value, you can create a color rule based on all potential values. Coloring based on an augmented attribute with potential selection values. Coloring based on future data. For more information about creating Studio Views, see: Views.And to learn more about Studio and View coloring, see: Managing Studio and component color themes.  

The data_deduplication module in PyCelonis 1.x has reached end of life today and will no longer receive support through Celonis.Please reach out to your account representative if you are using this module.For more information about PyCelonis, see: PyCelonis - Python API wrapper.

You can now add and configure scatter plot charts for your Studio Views. Scatter plot charts (also known as bubble charts) are a great way to display a lot of related data in one chart. In scatter plot charts, the x-axis displays one numeric field and the y-axis displays another, making it easy to see the relationship between the two values for all the items in the chart. In a bubble chart, a third numeric field controls the size of the data points.In this example, a scatter plot chart is used to map profit against sales: To learn more about the different chart types you can configure for your Studio Views, see: Available chart types.And to understand how to create and configure these charts, head to: Charts.

You can now configure a free text search component for your Studio View, allowing your App users to search across all components within that View. Search components can be customized to focus results on selected search parameters, to allow wildcards to be used, and to guide users with placeholder text.Search components are best combined with a table component, such as in the following example. This search component has been configured to allow users to search the table based on country, city, customer name, and US state parameters: You can also use search components as part of a filter bar, for example adding a 'Search by Country' search box to this filter bar for a Starter Kit: For more information about this component, see: Search component.And to learn more about configuring filter bars, see: Configuring a filter bar for your View.

We've also made a number of improvements to your View editing experience in Studio, including: Enhanced drag and drop and resizing experience of View components. Improved initial loading times of your Views. Optimized performance of View components such as charts, KPIs, and tables. Faster execution of PQL queries. To learn more about creating and editing Studio Views, see: Views.

With the new Studio experience, you can create and edit tabs within your Views. Published Views with tabs now have distinct URLs per tab, enabling you to directly link to them where needed.In this example, the button component has been configured in tab 1 that links directly to tab 2. The user is then directed to the next tab when clicking the button: For more information about creating tabs in your Studio Views, see: Views.

You can now import multiple tables from your source system to create object types, and also use the metadata for the tables to identify and create object to object relationships between them. If your source system database already has an object-centric structure, it's a quick way to get started with custom modeling for your object-centric data model.When you create object types using the Import from table option, you can select more than one table from a connected data source to import at the same time. Each table becomes one object type, with columns from the table becoming attributes of the object type. You can edit the new object types and add attributes in their previews in the same way as you can when you import a single table. We’ve also added an option for you to pick a column to be used as the object type’s ID. You can only import tables from one connected data source at a time, and you can only create one object type from each table at a time. But you can go through the import flow as many times as you want, to import other data sources or create different object types.After setting up the object types, you can view the foreign keys that connect the source system tables to each other, and choose which ones to use as one to many (1:m) object to object relationships between your new object types. In this step, you can also add custom one to many relationships between tables you're importing. If you need any many to many (m:n) object to object relationships, you'll need to create these after the import.When you've finished, we'll show a summary for you to check the object types and object to object relationships you'll be creating, and go back and make any edits you need to. Then we'll create them all, along with the SQL transformation scripts to populate the attributes and relationship columns for the object types with the data from your source system tables. You'll need to check the scripts, ensure the object IDs are unique, and populate any extra attributes that use data from somewhere other than your original source system table. For the instructions to run the import, see Importing object types and relationships from source data.

We've made the data connection parameters from the data pool where you're working with objects and events, available in the SQL editor for your transformations for objects and events. You can use them to access multiple source systems from the same transformation, in addition to the main data source that you're working with.Use the Data connections tab in the Parameters panel to view and add the available data connection parameters in your statements. You can put them in custom transformations, and also in full and partial overwrites that you create for Celonis transformations. Wherever you don't use a data connection parameter in an SQL query, we'll run the query on the default data source that you've selected in the Data sources panel for the transformation, like before. Wherever you add a data connection parameter, we'll run the query on the data in that schema. For the instructions to create custom transformations and overwrites, see Creating custom transformations. 

We've made a number of readability improvements to Studio charts, giving your app users a better view of the data displayed. These chart improvements include: Responsive charts: Charts are now more adaptable to size adjustments. As you resize your charts, certain elements will automatically hide to prioritize the clarity of the visualization. Enhanced legend display: We've made several improvements to the legend, including a new collapsed state to eliminate scrollbars. The color scale legend has been refined for better alignment with other legend types Pie chart labeling: We've improved the labeling on the Pie charts for a clearer and more polished look. These chart improvements are automatically applied to your existing content, meaning that no configuration changes are needed.For more information about creating and configuring Studio charts, see: Charts.  

You can now add logos and images to your Studio Views using the Image component, enabling you to add branding and visual enhancements to your content. You can also customize your image style by choosing options including the fit, background, alignment, labels, and alt text.The Image component automatically displays your Celonis Platform team logo where one is available. This logo is managed in the Admin & Settings area, requiring administration permissions for your Celonis Platform team.In this example, we've added the Celonis logo to our View: To learn more about adding logos and images to your View, see: Logos and Images. 

In this release of the Celonis catalog, we’ve made a number of updates to enhance performance, functionality, and usability across the Celonis Platform. Because it’s a major version change, some of the changes are not backwards compatible, and might require updates to your Marketplace applications and Studio assets.If you’ve enabled automatic updating for the Celonis catalog, we’ll apply the changes automatically in your development environment. If you haven’t, you’ll see an update message on the Objects and Events dashboard next to the current catalog version, and an Update button on the Catalog page (select View catalog on the Objects and Events dashboard to get there). In either case, use the link on the Catalog page to view the release notes for the Celonis catalog. Read them to find out what’s changed, and what you’ll therefore need to validate after the update. Your production environment won’t change until you publish the changes from the update. For the instructions to update the Celonis catalog and validate your object-centric data model afterwards, see Updating Celonis object types and event types.The update includes new object types, event types, attributes, and relationships, and a new perspective for advanced Accounts Payable use cases, and deletes two relationships, as well as including a number of behavior enhancements. Here are some significant changes in the update that you’ll notice when you’re validating the relevant processes: In the Procurement and Accounts Payable processes, two object to object relationships have been deleted (VendorAccountDebitItem to VendorAccountCreditItem, and CustomerAccountDebitItem to CustomerAccountCreditItem), so any overwrites that you created for those will also be deleted. It’s better value to use the relationship CustomerAccountClearingAssignment to VendorAccountClearingAssignment instead. However, if you want to keep using either of the deleted relationships, you can create an identical custom relationship manually, including any overwrites that you made to it. You can do this before you update the Celonis catalog, or copy it from your production environment before you publish the changes from the update. In the Accounts Payable process, the instance counts for VendorInvoice, VendorInvoiceItem, and VendorInvoiceCancellationItem objects will reduce due to the addition of the VendorCreditMemo and VendorCreditMemoItem objects. If you aren't using the new objects in your model, you can remove the new filters from the existing objects to return them to the same function. The perspective for the Inventory Management process has been updated. If you want to revert to the previous version, that version is still in the Celonis catalog, named perspective_celonis_InventoryManagementLegacy.

You can now star and unstar your Studio packages, giving you a more efficient way to organize and access your content. Starred packages now appear in your Suggested Studio content, which includes your recently opened packages, and you can click Starred to filter to just your starred packages.This feature replaces the 'pinning' feature, with all previously pinned content automatically converted to starred content. For more information about managing your Studio packages, head to Managing packages and permissions . 

For Studio charts where the number of entries exceeds the initial chart view, you can now allow scrolling through the entries.When allowing scrolling, you can configure where the scrolling start position is for the user by selecting between the following scrolling options: Default scroll position Scroll from top Scroll from bottom Custom scroll position You can also set the 'Max visible' number of chart entries, limiting the number of entries displayed in your chart.For more information about configuring your Studio charts, see: Charts. 

View modules are a package asset type that allow you to re-use configured View components across multiple Views within a Studio package. Instead of configuring each View from scratch, you can save time by centrally managing and then embedding a module to your View. And by editing a View module, all embedded instances of that module are automatically updated too.For a video overview: For more information about Studio View modules, head to View modules.
