AUTOMATION Bulk action in tables 

We’re improving on-demand Action Flows configuration in the table component by enabling array input types, allowing users to perform bulk actions on multiple table rows with a single Action Flow.  For more information, see Configuring actions for multiple row executions.

AUTOMATION New Array inputs in Action Flows 

To help you tackle more complex use cases, we’re introducing new input types in the Action Flows: Arrays and Collections. For more information about Action Flow inputs, see Action Flow inputs.

DATA INTEGRATION Extractions Editor and AI Assistant for JDBC data extractions 

You can now write or generate SQL queries for JDBC data extractions using the new in-built Extractions Editor and AI Assistant. These enhanced features will allow you to use your source system specific SQL functions and JOINS, making it easier for you to extract your data into the Celonis Platform.

In addition to generating extraction queries, the AI Assistant will also help validate queries for you.

For further information, see: Extractions Editor and AI Assistant overview.

Using the JDBC extractor?

If you're currently connecting to your source system using the JDBC extractor, you must update the extractor to version 3.0.0 in order to use the Extractions Editor and AI Assistant.

For more information about installing and updating the JDBC extractor to version 3.0.0, see: Updating the on-premise JDBC extractor.

DATA INTEGRATION SAP Ariba Custom Forms API v3 deprecated 

SAP has officially deprecated Ariba Custom Forms API v3. See SAP Ariba Version History page. In response to that change, we're updating Celonis SAP Ariba Extractor to use the Custom Forms API v4. For more information, see Supported SAP Ariba API endpoints.

Important

Due to changes in the underlying table structure, delta extractions may fail after the update. To avoid any issues, we recommend running a new full extraction for any tables impacted after the update.

MACHINE LEARNING Upgraded machine learning workbenches available 

The Machine Learning Workbench environment has been upgraded to include a new version of workbenches with automatic upgrades, integrated Conda support and expanded compatibility with Python. These new workbenches are designed to reduce maintenance by providing ongoing upgrades that will install the latest security updates and performance upgrades automatically. This update also includes an environment management feature that allows you to create individual environments using Conda without conflicts between versions or potential issues with dependencies. These new workbenches will also work with more versions of Python, making them compatible with a wider range of tools and libraries.

To create this new type of workbench, select the “Jupyter Workbench” option from the Create Workbench window and then finish creating the workbench as usual. To create a workbench using the legacy format, select “Jupyter Workbench (Legacy)”.

These updated versions are only available when creating new workbenches and will not impact existing workbenches. To upgrade existing workbenches to the new version, you will need to create a new workbench and then migrate the existing workbench to it. Using the new workbenches is optional, so you can continue creating workbenches using the existing version, but it is recommended that you utilize the new workbench version to take advantage of the improved functionality.

PI GRAPH Global transformation parameters 

You can now create global parameters that can be used across all transformations in Objects and Events. This reduces the multiple recurring steps and thereby clicks when (re)creating and updating local transformation parameters, making transformation parameters scalable across your Object Centric data.

When creating transformation parameters, select Global and either add a new parameters or apply an existing one:

For more information about modeling your objects and events, see: Creating custom transformations.

PI GRAPH Import from table now supports DATE columns as attributes 

The Import from table functionality has been upgraded to allow you to import a table containing a DATE column and use that column to create an attribute. Previously, when creating an Object type by importing a table with a DATE column, that DATE column was unsupported and could not be used as an attribute. With this update, the DATE column will automatically be cast as a TIMESTAMP during the transformation and can be used to create an attribute.

For more information, see Importing object types and relationships from source data.

PI GRAPH Search for columns in the Schema explorer 

The schema explorer in the Objects and Events module has been upgraded to allow users to search data sources for a specific column name. Users can select a data source from the dropdown and then click the magnifying glass icon to enable the search field. Users can enter their search criteria in this field and only column names matching their criteria will be displayed. Deleting the search criteria or clicking the X button will remove the filter and show all available columns.

PROCESS ADHERENCE MANAGER Integration of model import and export between PAM and CPM 

Once enabled in the Celonis Platform Admin & Settings, you can now seamlessly:

• Import BPMN models from Process Designer into PAM then reopen them in Process Designer.
• Export any BPMN model from PAM to Process Designer.

If a BPMN model used to create a model in PAM is subsequently updated in Process Designer, you'll be automatically notified and can either update your PAM model or delink your PAM model from the Process Designer version.

For more information, see Importing a BPMN model from Process Designer into PAM and Exporting a BPMN model from PAM to CPM. 

PROCESS ADHERENCE MANAGER Removing event logs from a target model 

Previously, if you wanted to remove an event log from your target model, you had to delete your target model and recreate it without that event log. Now you can simply select event logs and delete them without having to recreate your target model.

For more information, see Removing an event log.

PROCESS ADHERENCE MANAGER Undoing and redoing changes in a target model 

You can now undo and redo changes when editing your target model using either the undo/redo buttons that display in the Target Model Editor or standard shortcut keys.

For more information, see Undoing and redoing changes in a target model.

STUDIO Attribute filter uses Knowledge Model "Private Preview]

You can now select the Knowledge Model to use when setting an attribute filter in your Studio Views, a change from previously selecting a Data Model. This update allows you to set filters based on the non-technical name given to attributes, making it easier for business users to filter their data.

STUDIO Excluding components from predefined View filters 

You can now exclude select Studio View components from predefined filters on both a View and View tab level.

By excluding the component from predefined filters, you're able to maintain the data displayed within them. This can be useful for showing top level KPIs that should be consistent and independent of predefined filters or if you're making side by side comparisons.

You can exclude the following Studio components from predefined filters: Case Explorer, Chart (All mark charts - bar, line, point), Condition List, Container and container tabs, Event Explorer, Histogram, KPI Card, KPI List, Network Explorer, Pie chart, Process Explorer, Scatterplot, Table, Text Box, TPT Explorer, and Variant Explorer.

For more information, see: Temporary filters for Apps.

STUDIO New Process Copilot template for status questions 

Process Copilots now offer a customizable template designed to perform status checks on business objects such as invoices, claims, and orders. These templates are pre-built configurations that can be finalized by selecting the specific record and attribute that the user wants to track. These selections are added to the template to build a Process Copilot specifically designed to answer questions about these business objects.

These templates make it faster for users to develop Process Copilots to answer real-time questions about the status of any business object. Once configured, these Process Copilots can answer questions about the status of an order or the payment cycle for an invoice using the chat functionality in your Process Copilot or even a third party application such as Microsoft Teams.

STUDIO Right-click interactions added to Views 

You can now right-click while editing your Studio Views, giving you a number of context specific options. These options include copying and pasting components, moving objects forwards and backwards, accessing the View layout settings, and deleting components.
