For example, users can hide an activity that occurs in all cases or activities that are generated automatically as part of the workflow. By hiding these activities, the user can focus on the activities they are most interested in.NoteThis feature is only accessible in Process Explorer when using sliders to control the process graph and will not be available when using the panel.The menu is displayed in the upper right of the Process Explorer and shows both the total number of activities and the number of activities currently selected, such as 17 of 21 events in the multi-object screenshot below. After clicking to expand the menu, users can select the check boxes to indicate which activities to include in the process graph. Removing the check mark will cause an activity to be hidden. Activities menu - case centric Events menu - multi-object Once all activities have been selected, click Update to apply the changes and refresh the process graph. The totals and KPIs on the process graph are updated based on the selected activities. The global sliders are also updated to reflect the total number of available activities based on the menu selections.NoteHiding an activity from the process graph does not filter out cases with that activity, it only prevents it from displaying in the graph. The counts in the process graph will be updated when an activity is hidden and are updated again if an activity is added back to the process graph.For more information, see Show / Hide events. STUDIO Create custom KPI Groups in Process Explorer and Variant Explorer  This feature is currently available as a Private Preview onlyDuring a Private Preview, only customers who have agreed to our Private Preview usage agreements can access this feature. Additionally, the features documented here are subject to change and / or cancellation, so they may not be available to all users in future.For more information about our Private Preview releases, including the level of Support offered with them, see: Feature release types.A new feature is being added to both Process Explorer and Variant Explorer which will enable analysts to create groups of custom process KPIs that can be displayed in the process graph. Analyst users can create a KPI Group by selecting existing process-related KPIs or defining their own KPIs using the visual editor. The analyst can then share these KPI Groups with their end users who will be able to display these KPI Groups in the process graph of their Process Explorer or Variant Explorer. KPI Groups can be created for both case-centric (single event log, multi-event log) and object-centric process exploration components.NoteCustom KPI Groups are only available in Studio Views. For components created in Legacy Views, KPIs are still defined using YAML in the Knowledge Model.The new built-in visual editor allows users to create KPIs without advanced YAML skills and speeds up the creation process for new KPIs. Users are able to define KPIs directly in Studio without having to switch to the Knowledge Model or perform manual coding.Both KPI Groups and the individual KPIs within those groups are created and stored in a Knowledge Model. As a result, if a change is made to an individual KPI, that change is automatically updated in any KPI Groups to which that KPI was added.For more information see Custom KPI Groups in Process Explorer and Custom KPI Groups in Variant Explorer. PI Graph Object & Events enhancements  We've made two enhancements to our Objects & Events product area:Object data preview: You can now preview your objects once a transformation has successfully run, giving you a 100 row sample of the data.You can access a data preview while viewing the object by clicking Data preview (or alternatively clicking Options - Data preview for each object). Enhanced integration between Perspectives and Studio: When viewing your perspectives, you can now see the last time the data model loaded and which Studio packages the perspectives are used in. You can also click the data model name to view a preview.For more information about modelling your objects and events, see: Modeling objects and events. CELONIS FOR CONSULTING New project plans released and upgrades to existing plans With this release, we've added five new project plans to our Celonis for Consulting product area.

APPS Platform Adoption Monitor app PI GRAPH  Skip simple transformations until data model load  STUDIO Embedding external webpages using iframes in Views STUDIO  Create and embed reusable View modules in Studio packages  STUDIO Knowledge Model Link  STUDIO Recently deleted package assets stored for 7 days  STUDIO EXPORT ALL service permissions added STUDIO Chart component accessibility update Keep track of Celonis platform changes:Explore Planned Releases Subscribe to our bi-weekly email for a summary of what’s changed ​​​​​​ Sign up separately for platform status alerts. APPS Platform Adoption Monitor app The Platform Adoption Monitor app is available to download from the Celonis Marketplace. We've created it to improve on the platform adoption dashboard that was only available to admins in Celonis teams (see Platform adoption dashboard). The app includes views for you to track logins, active users, and usage of published Studio packages and apps, like you could with the platform adoption dashboard, but with more statistics and the improved functionality of the new Studio experience. Because it's a Marketplace app, you can give users who aren't admins permission to see the views. You can also edit the views, or create your own platform adoption tracking views based on the case-centric data model supplied with our extractor.To use the app, you'll need to enable the login history and the Studio tracking service in your Celonis team. The app can pseudonymize the identifiers for individual users - check whether your local legislation requires that. For the app documentation, see Platform Adoption Monitor app. PI GRAPH  Skip simple transformations until data model load  To reduce the time it takes to run your object-centric transformations, we now skip over any simple transformation scripts that don't include a join or WHERE clause, and aren't new or changed. We can do this for attribute scripts and relationship scripts (though relationship scripts usually will involve a join). We'll comment the skipped transformations out in the data pool, and replace them at publish time with a view that we only load when you load a perspective that uses the object type or event type. If you change the transformation script (or we do as part of an update to the Celonis catalog), we'll make the edits to the view when you republish your transformations.STUDIO Embedding external webpages using iframes in Views You can now embed iframes into your Studio Views, allowing you to display both static and dynamic external content within your applications. Static content: An iframe where the URL displayed doesn't change, for example Celonis.com. Static content is the same for all users. Dynamic content: An frames where a placeholder variable is used to determine the URL, often triggered by user inputs (such as entering a value or selecting from a list). This placeholder variable can be combined with other View components, including input boxes, input lists, and input dropdowns so users can dynamically view the iframe content relevant to them. In this dynamic content example, an input dropdown has been configured so the user can select different Celonis.com product pages to display in the frame.To learn more about embedding iframes to your Studio Views, see:  iframes STUDIO  Create and embed reusable View modules in Studio packages 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. STUDIO Knowledge Model Link  The Knowledge Model Link in the PQL editor has been enhanced, enabling consistent naming and descriptions for your calculations across the Celonis Platform.Included in the Knowledge Model Link enhancements are:Read-only mode removed: You can now edit the content within the PQL editor, removing the previous link. Automatic re-linking: When reverting any edits you've made, the Knowledge Model Link automatically reappears. Auto-generated attributes supported: If an attribute is auto-generated, the Knowledge Model Link is now available. Component level overwrites: You can now change the display name, format, and unit for a component without losing the rest of the metadata.For more information about using the PQL editor, see: PQL editor.STUDIO Recently deleted package assets stored for 7 days Deleted package assets, such as Views and Knowledge Models, are now stored for 7 days in the Recently deleted area of your package settings. Deleted assets can then be restored individually, returning them to the list of active assets in the package.After 7 days, recently deleted assets are then permanently deleted and can't be recovered or restored.For more information about managing packages and package settings, see: Settings. STUDIO EXPORT ALL service permissions added We've introduced an enhancement to our Studio service permissions that gives admins granular control over exporting content (i.e. packages, assets) to other teams. The EXPORT ALL permission, managed from the Permissions area of Admin & Settings, gives users the following abilities:Copy-To: The user can utilize the exporting functionalities copy-to to export package and asset configurations to other teams (i.e. instances). This feature can be accessed from within Studio by clicking Options - Copy to: Content-cli: The user can utilize the content-cli to export package and asset configurations.Currently, users with EDIT permissions can export content without restrictions. When this feature is introduced, these users will receive EXPORT_ALL permission by default to reflect their current capabilities, so they won’t be affected by the migration. We recommend reviewing which users shouldn't be able to export content outside of their teams, and to proactively remove the EXPORT_ALL permission.The EXPORT_ALL permission requires users to have EDIT permission to ensure proper access, without it, the content won’t be visible.For more information about Studio service permissions, see: Studio service permissions. STUDIO Chart component accessibility update  To improve our component accessibility and ensure sufficient contrast in data visualizations, we’ve introduced automatic mark borders on Studio charts. This change adds a darker border around light-colored marks to improve visibility and meet contrast ratio guidelines. The update helps all users—especially those with visual impairments— better interpret and gain insights from their data.This improvement is part of our ongoing commitment to inclusive design and accessibility best practices.To learn more about creating and configuring charts in your Studio Views, see: Charts.

This extractor allows you to extract usage data from your Celonis Platform team, including usage logs, login histories, and user information.If you previously configured this extractor using App Key authentication, we recommend transitioning to OAuth2.For more information, see: Celonis Platform Adoption extractor. DATA INTEGRATION NetSuite extractor now available  You can now connect your NetSuite instance to the Celonis Platform using our NetSuite extractor. This extractor supports a number of common database features, including (but not limited to) the following:Authentication types: Database credentials and OAuth. Connection settings: Pseudonmyzation algorithms, parallelization of table extractions, and timeout for database connection. Object types: Tables and views. Data processing and resolution: Duplicate removal, debugging, extraction previews.For a full overview of supported database features, see: Supported database connections.To learn how to connect to your NetSuite instance to the Celonis Platform, see: NetSuite PI GRAPH Custom categories for object and event tags  You can now create categories to group tags that you're using for object-centric process mining. You can still use the existing "Custom processes" category for custom process tags, or you can create new categories in the Filters panel on the Objects and Events pages of the user interface.To add a new category, click the plus sign at the top of the Filters panel to open Add category at the end of the panel. Type the name of your new category and click Save to add it to the Filters panel. The category name can be up to 41 characters long (including spaces), and it must be different to the existing category names. Your new category appears in the Filters panel in edit mode. To add each custom tag, click Add tag. Type the tag name, then select the checkmark icon to add it. Custom tags can be up to 41 characters long (including spaces), and they must be unique across all the categories. When you've added all the tags you want, click Done. To edit the category name or one of the tags you've added to it, open the context menu (the three vertical dots) for the category, and select Edit. While you're in edit mode, you can rename a tag or the category, add or delete tags, or delete the whole category. PI GRAPH Issues to fix displayed in Objects and Events dashboard  The Issues to fix list is now generally available in all Celonis teams. In the Objects and Events dashboard, the list displays any critical issues that you need to fix in order to make your object-centric data model work. It includes issues that stop you from saving or publishing your model, issues that stop a transformation script from running, and errors while the data model for a perspective is loading. You can expand any item to see what the problem is and use the link to view it. If there aren't any critical errors, we'll tell you that too, so you don't have to look through the individual item lists and logs for critical errors. PROCESS DESIGNER Applied filters added to search results  With this release, you can now see all filters that have been applied to a search within the Process Designer.For more information about Celonis Process Management or the Process Designer, see: Process Designer User Guide. PROCESS NAVIGATOR Navigation and process journey enhancements  With this latest Process Navigator release, we've made the following enhancements:The Process Journal has been updated to include a Process Journey view. This view is a less-technical version of the Process Model view, offering information about the sub-steps in a process to users who are unfamiliar with BPMN models.For more information, see Drilling down with Process Navigator. The Process Navigator homepage now includes side navigation. This navigation provides an overview of all your processes and content at a glance.For more information, see Getting started with Process Navigator. STUDIO Configure event count filters for Views  With this release, you will be able to apply event count filters to Views that have process filters enabled. Event count filters enable you to select objects where an event occurs less or more times than a defined start and end threshold e.g. only objects where "Invoice paid" happens more than once.In this example, the Sales Order Activity event log will be filtered to show only the Confirm order event. Using this filter, you can see the event count distribution where the selected event occurred zero, twelve, and twenty four times per object.For more information about configuring advanced filters, see: Advanced filters.And to learn more about process filters, see: Process filters. STUDIO Process Copilots are now in General Availability  Process Copilots are AI-enhanced Studio assets that allow you to interact conversationally with your Celonis data. Each Process Copilot is configured with one of your Knowledge Models to help you analyze your data using predefined prompts or asking your own questions to generate a response in a variety of formats.Each Process Copilot will only have access to the data you choose from the selected Knowledge Model. You can create multiple Process Copilots to work with different Knowledge Models or to focus on different use cases within your data.Once configured, Process Copilots can be utilized by any Apps user to answer questions regarding their data, build custom graphs and tables, or look for improvement opportunities within the data. These conversations are saved in the Celonis Platform and can be shared with other users with access to Studio.Users can interact with a Process Copilot through quickstart questions, template prompts, dropdown lists of suggested interactions or a free text field where they can ask their own questions. Admin users can also create their own KPIs or commonly asked questions that will be pinned to the start screen as a launching point for each new session.For more information, refer to Process Copilots. STUDIO Annotation Builders are now in General Availability  Studio’s new Annotation Builder is an AI-enhanced asset that enriches the data in your Process Intelligence Graph using Large Language Models 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. STUDIO New validation table for Annotation Builders  The Annotation Builder asset in Studio is introducing a new feature that generates a preconfigured "Validation Table" that allows analysts to evaluate the accuracy of the annotations being generated. This table includes the original data, the AI-generated annotations (e.g., predicted categories, reasoning, etc.), and columns where analysts can add their feedback directly into the table using free text fields and pre-populated dropdowns.Analysts can generate the validation table automatically by clicking the Use in a View button on the Annotation Builder screen. The validation tables can be added as a new View in Studio or embedded in an existing Studio View. The table is generated automatically based on the annotations generated with no additional set up or configuration required.In the validation table, analysts can review the individual annotations, add comments, and collect data to improve the prompts used by this Annotation Builder. If the analyst provides feedback in the validation table, the accuracy statistics for this Annotation Builder are updated automatically and displayed on the Annotation Builder overview screen. STUDIO Process Copilots for external systems  Process Copilots can now be created for use with external systems such as Microsoft Teams or Slack. These new Process Copilots serve as a conversational chat assistant that runs on the Celonis Platform while communicating with an external system via the Celonis Intelligence API. Users can post a message in Teams or Slack that is transmitted to a Process Copilot published on the Celonis Platform and the response from the Process Copilot is returned to the external system using the same API.These new Process Copilots are configured and published using the same steps as the current Process Copilots. Once the Process Copilot has been published, the Process Copilot API specification is customized to integrate with the external system. This API specification can be copied or downloaded to use when configuring the API connection in the external system.Note: When configuring the Process Copilot, note that tools containing View components cannot be used for this type of configuration.When the API is called from the external system, the integration is used to pass messages between the Celonis Platform and the external system. The connection to the Celonis Platform can be authenticated by using OAuth to provide user access or creating an application key to allow system access.For more information, see Create for external systems. STUDIO Plain text variable behavior updated When creating and using plain text variables (also known as runtime variables) in your Studio packages, the following behavior has been updated:The value of the plain text variable in Studio is now published to Apps, provided that this value remains unchanged in Apps (i.e. App user don’t update the variable in Apps, for example with an input). Previously, this value was published from Studio to Apps only the first time the variable was published.We've also added a column called Value in Apps, allowing you to efficiently view and reference the value of the variable within the existing app.For more information about Studio package variables, see: Variables STUDIO Component configuration UX updates  We've made a number of user experience enhancements to our Studio component configuration panels, including the following:Add data to component: You can now click 'Add data' within the component configuration, allowing you to select data via the PQL editor. Filter queries visually connected: Filters and query openers are now visually connected to their respective queries, so it’s easier to understand when multiple queries are present in a component. Breakdown selector / node switcher: In a table's breakdown selector and Network Explorer's node switcher, the radio button now highlights the default selection. You can also now expand or collapse these sections as needed. STUDIO Scheduling View reports This feature is currently available as a Private Preview only During a Private Preview, only customers who have agreed to our Private Preview usage agreements can access this feature. Additionally, the features documented here are subject to change and / or cancellation, so they may not be available to all users in future.For more information about our Private Preview releases, including the level of Support offered with them, see: Feature release types.In addition to manually exporting your Views as PDFs, you can now schedule automated emails to be sent with the View report PDFs attached. These emails can be sent on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, with the ability to customize the email and the PDF settings for each report.You can schedule your Studio View reports within a View by clicking Share or export View - Schedule reports:Once scheduled, your Studio View reports can be edited, permanently deleted, and activated / deactivated depending on its status:For more information about scheduling View reports, see: View Reports. STUDIO Maximum View height increased  The maximum height for Studio View is now 10,000 pixels, having previously been set at 3,000 pixels. When editing a custom height View, your View height can be configured in two places:From the View settings menu: At the bottom of the View editing area: While the maximum height for custom Views is 10,000 pixels, we recommend designing your apps to focus on key themes, patterns, and focus areas. By taking advantage of features such as View tabs and containers, you can publish apps that are easier for your users to view.To learn more about designing your Studio Apps with data in mind, see our App Building Guidelines: App building guidelines TASK MINING Workforce Productivity app for Task Mining now in General Availability  We’ve made significant updates to the Task Mining Workforce Productivity App for this GA release. Designed to provide deeper insights and cover broader use cases within Task Mining, this enhanced app is ready for production use. The new version installs automatically when you create a new Task Mining project, or you can install it anytime from the Celonis Marketplace (search for 'Workforce Productivity').Key upgrades to the app include: New Overview Tab: Delivers quick, high-level summaries of key metrics. New Capacity Tab: Helps visualize and compare team and region capacity, and track trends over time. Improved Productivity Tab: Offers deeper analysis of work patterns and introduces a new idle category. Enhanced Settings: Change more settings to simplify app setup. Simplified App Classification: Features an easy-to-use in-app table for selecting productive applications. Third-Party Data Integration: Supports optional import of data like HR team hierarchies for seamless team-based drill-downs. In-App Guidance: Provides actionable tips on using the insights to drive improvements. The new version of the app is available in some realms already, and we’ll be rolling it out to others over the next few weeks.

STUDIO Create a Process Copilot from a Studio View ​​​​​​​ STUDIO View preferences kept when re-entering View edit mode  PI GRAPH Perspective logs shown with transformation logs  PI GRAPH Usability enhancements for modeling objects and events  DATA INTEGRATION SAP ECC and S/4 HANA extractor version 3.9.6 ​​​​​​​ BUSINESS APPS Accounts Receivable Starter Kit upgrade BUSINESS APPS Procurement Starter Kit upgrade​​​​​​​ BUSINESS APPS Planning Parameter Optimization app upgrade BUSINESS APPS Payment Terms Harmonizer app upgrade​​​​​​​ Keep track of Celonis platform changes:Explore Planned Releases Subscribe to our bi-weekly email for a summary of what’s changed ​​​​​​ Sign up separately for platform status alerts.  STUDIO Create a Process Copilot from a Studio View ​​​​​​​Studio is being upgraded to make it easier to create a Process Copilot by adding the ability to create a new Process Copilot directly from a View. This feature allows users to create a new Process Copilot specifically for the data in the current Studio View without any additional configuration required. This new option will streamline the creation of a Process Copilot and give users a starting point to build upon. Users can still make additional changes to this Process Copilot by customizing the configuration settings. NoteAny components in the selected View that reference a PQL statement rather than a Knowledge Model item will not be included in the new Process Copilot.From any Studio View, users can select “Create Process Copilot” from the options menu and choose the type of Process Copilot to create. The Process Copilot is generated automatically and all the required configurations are completed based on the data in that Studio View.The new Process Copilot will have access to most of the data from the Knowledge Model for this Studio View. Any data in the Knowledge Model that is filtered out by an asset filter will not be available to the Process Copilot.Users can then start asking questions about their KPIs and attributes. For example, looking at the image above, users can ask questions such as “What’s my Net Order Value?” or “How are the Sales Orders broken down by Company Code?”. It is important to remember that this Process Copilot will only have access to the data from that Studio View and cannot answer questions about any of your data outside of that View.For more information, see Create a Process Copilot from a Studio View. STUDIO View preferences kept when re-entering View edit mode When previewing your Studio Views using the interactive mode, any View preferences you configure are now kept when you re-enter View edit mode. View preferences are unique to each user and created by their interactions with filters, user specific variables, and components.View preferences include, but aren't limited to, the following:Filters Variables Component states (such as column sizes and sorting in tables and selecting KPI list cards)When editing a Studio View, you can see when View preferences are applied by clicking the View preference icon:You can then click Restore default View to remove these preferences again.1:37For more information about creating and editing Studio Views, head to: Views.And to learn more about restoring to your default View, see: Restore default View. PI GRAPH Perspective logs shown with transformation logs  In the Data Jobs area of the data pool you're using with objects and events, you can now see the logs for the data model loads for all your perspectives, as well as the logs for your transformations. Previously you had to go to the Data Loads tab in the Data Models area of the data pool to view the logs for perspective loads, and select each individual perspective. The logs for the perspectives are still in that location as well if you want to view them there.You can see the logs for the perspectives together with the logs for the transformations in the object-centric process mining data jobs ocpm-data-job (for production) and test-ocpm-data-job (for development). The data model loads are also included in the execution time for the data job, which means the displayed execution time is likely to increase, but the total execution time across the data model loads and the transformations has not changed. This change lets us optimize performance for change-aware executions (see Executing data jobs). If you're using that limited availability feature, your total execution time across the data model loads and the transformations is likely to decrease. PI GRAPH Usability enhancements for modeling objects and events  We're making a range of improvements that you've requested, to enhance your experience of modeling and managing objects and events for object-centric process mining. Here are the latest changes: When you're importing object types from your source system data, we've added a search bar so you can search the available tables in the data source as an alternative to browsing them. We'll automatically check the transformations that we autogenerate for object types imported from a table, and enable any that are already valid. If you need to complete a transformation script manually, we'll leave it disabled. For the ID for an imported object type, you can now use a source data column with the data type FLOAT, as well as INT and STRING. We'll cast them all to the required data type STRING in the autogenerated transformation script. You can now use your data pool's global connection to deploy transformations for objects and events. From the Objects and Events dashboard, you now access the data pool in the same way, whether you're using one or multiple data pools for objects and events.  DATA INTEGRATION SAP ECC and S/4 HANA extractor version 3.9.6 ​​​​​​​The new version of SAP ECC and S/4 HANA extractor brings added protections against SQL injection vulnerabilities. These checks validate dynamic SQL statements, using the CL_ABAP_DYN_PRG class. For detailed information, see SAP Notes (SAP Service marketplace login required).This change impacts the minimal supported SAP versions in the following way: SAP_BASIS version Minimal support package 700 SP28 701 SP13 702 SP13 710 SP16 711 SP11 720 SP08 730 SP08 731 SP05 740+ any When upgrading the extractor, make sure to follow these requirements or implement the corrections outlined in the following SAP Notes: 1487337, 1601030, and 1743483 (SAP Service marketplace login required).Also see documentation for Continuous Extractor for SAP ECC and S/4 HANA. BUSINESS APPS Accounts Receivable Starter Kit upgrade For this release of the Accounts Receivable Starter Kit, we’ve added a Value Framing view to the app’s existing setup, validation, and process cockpit views. The Value Framing view picks out opportunities for improvement in your Accounts Receivable process, including labor productivity, working capital, and revenue. Each value opportunity has its own tab for you to explore detailed metrics and get deeper insights into its business impact. When you’ve validated the opportunity, you can input your own framed value assessment for the Identified Value overview. For the instructions to upgrade the Starter Kit, see Updating the object-centric Accounts Receivable Starter Kit. BUSINESS APPS Procurement Starter Kit upgrade​​​​​​​For the latest version of the object-centric Procurement Starter Kit, which is built on the new Studio experience, we've upgraded the process execution model in the Process Cockpit to give you deeper insights into your procurement operations. The new model includes:Expanded coverage of changes to purchase orders, order items, and requisition items. Tracking of canceled invoice items. Visibility for goods receipts and their reversals. A comprehensive description of the Purchase to Pay and Procurement processes.We've also added new views to monitor and analyze KPIs for on-time delivery and on-time in-full delivery, purchasing behaviors such as contract usage, and automation activities.To upgrade, download version 2.8.0 of the object-centric Procurement Starter Kit from the Celonis Marketplace. If you want to migrate your existing setup, you can copy the Knowledge Model and Process Explorer from your previous version into the new Studio package. BUSINESS APPS Planning Parameter Optimization app upgrade In this release of the Planning Parameter Optimization app for Inventory Management, we've added tasks to update purchase lead times and production lead times. You can download the new version from the Celonis marketplace. Updating the object-centric Inventory Management Planning Parameter Optimization app has the instructions to update the app. BUSINESS APPS Payment Terms Harmonizer app upgrade​​​​​​​In this upgrade for the Payment Terms Harmonizer app for the Procurement process, we've added the Vendor Invoice and Accounting Documents objects, and the Renegotiate Contracts, Solve Mismatch, and Update Vendor Master Data tasks. With these you can include invoice data in your comparisons for a more complete picture, and easily take actions. Updating the Payment Terms Harmonizer app has the instructions to update. 

We've listened to your feedback about wanting an easier way to stay updated on changes to the Celonis platform.So, starting on Monday 31st March, we're introducing a new approach: a single, bi-weekly update that summarizes all the latest developments. You'll notice the same detailed information as in the release notes, but organized by product area and delivered directly to your inbox if you’re subscribed and posted on the Celonis community.This change is designed to help you. If you’d like to share any feedback or ideas on what else could help keep you informed, please reach out to us at CX@Celonis.com 

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 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.
