Product Updates

Create augmented attributes without referencing records (Limited Availability Program for Studio) When you’re working with the new Studio experience, you now create augmented attributes in the Knowledge Model by referencing tables in the Data Model directly, instead of referencing records. They get their own category in the Knowledge Model. You can edit the values of these augmented attributes from within table components in Studio. The old style augmented attributes can’t be used in the new Studio views. For all the changes and new capabilities in the Limited Availability Program for Studio, see Studio (new experience), and the new augmented attributes are documented there in Augmented attributes.

JDBC Extractor version 2.88.1 (2023-12-13) Extract Oracle tables in parallel (Beta release) This version of the JDBC Extractor includes the Beta release of Oracle Smart Extraction. The feature is shipped disabled. If you want to try it out, we recommend that you do so in a sandbox environment. If you choose to switch Oracle Smart Extraction on, we'll parallelize extractions of larger Oracle tables using one of three smart strategies (chunking based on the primary key, chunking based on the row ID, or selecting from partitions), depending on the table structure. We hope you'll see a significant reduction in your data extraction times, like we did in our testing. To get Oracle Smart Extraction enabled, talk to your Celonis point of contact or create a support ticket.

Modules for Oracle Fusion apps (2023-12-08) We’ve added modules to integrate Oracle Fusion ERP, HCM, and Sales applications with your Action Flows. You can create automations to watch, search for, create, retrieve, update, and delete records in these applications. For the instructions, see Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM, and Oracle Fusion Cloud Sales.

Material Emissions App version 1.0.0 (2023-12-08) Map, measure and reduce your scope 3 material emissions (Limited Availability) Our new case-centric Material Emissions app for the Purchase to Pay process is launching in Limited Availability status. Talk to your Celonis point of contact to find out more. The app is designed for sustainability teams that need to report and track their emissions against targets, and also for procurement teams that need visibility into carbon-emission hotspots within their procured materials. You can map material emissions and trigger operational actions in the Celonis platform. The app can inform your strategic decisions to reduce emissions, and quantify the reductions that you achieve.

Custom Monitoring version 2 (2023-12-08) Operational dashboards for end-to-end data pipeline insights We're introducing new dashboards to help you oversee your data pipelines, data consumption, and Replication Cockpit workload more effectively. The Data Pipeline Monitoring dashboard shows the end-to-end performance of your data pipelines, including Data Model loads. You can view your data pipeline executions from the perspective of data jobs or tasks to get better visibility into how the items relate to each other.The Data Consumption Monitoring dashboard shows how each table contributes to the overall data consumption, and how it's changed over time. The dashboard now also matches tables in global Data Connections to the Data Pool that they’re being stored in.The Replication Cockpit Monitoring dashboard lets you track your changing workloads and drill down on anomalies to optimize your replications. The Data Models for monitoring now load more quickly and reliably with adjustable Data Pool parameters and performance enhancements to the transformations. For instructions to install this version of Custom Monitoring or upgrade from an earlier version, see Monitoring of Data Pools.

Process Adherence Manager (2023-12-07) Compare your actual and ideal process flows Process Adherence Manager is now in General Availability status. Process Adherence Manager and the Multi-Object Process Explorer are the evolution of Process Sphere, which was announced at Celosphere 2022. To get access to Process Adherence Manager, you'll need a Celonis license that includes object-centric process mining. If you do have the Data > Objects and Events option in the Celonis platform, but you can’t see Process Adherence Manager in the navigation menu, or you don’t have the permissions to use it, check with your Celonis point of contact. Process Adherence Manager enables users to identify value opportunities comparing their event data against an ideal process flow in a guided way. It combines mining, modeling and conformance analysis in one single user interface. Process Adherence Manager uses the event data from the Process Intelligence Graph to analyze whether processes run in accordance with the defined process flows, evaluating the significance of all deviations in terms of impact on the overall process performance. At the same time, Process Adherence Manager uncovers and identifies the root causes behind any such deviation. To find out more about Process Adherence Manager, you can check out this video, try out a demo, and read the documentation.

Control access requests for Data Models (2023-12-07)Administrators can now choose whether users in the team can request access to Data Models when creating a Process Workspace. By default, users are offered all of the Data Models in the team, with an action to request access, which sends an email to the admin. If you disable access requests in Admin & Settings, users creating a Process Workspace are only offered the Data Models that they already have access to. A user with the Analyst role and the MANAGE_GENERAL_SETTINGS permission can also enable or disable access requests. For the documentation, see Creating a Process Workspace.

Enhancements to language support in Studio (2023-12-07) Use the new Add language button in the package settings to enable any of the ISO-639 recognized languages for a Studio package, enabling users to view your package in that language where translated content is available. The new languages are partially supported, which means they’ll only be used in the scope of Studio, packages, and assets. The rest of the Celonis platform supports the nine languages that were supported previously (English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish). The missing translations dialog now groups the generated translation keys by the type of source they were extracted from (such as a table, KPI, or event log). We’ve also put in a search capability so you can find keys more easily, along with some other usability improvements. We’ve added a dropdown selector in the top navigation bar for end users to pick their preferred language for an app’s UI. The dropdown includes the languages that you’ve enabled in the package settings, including any custom translations that you create. If a user doesn’t pick a language, we’ll default to the preferred language given in their user profile. 

Manage permissions for your Process Workspaces(2023-12-04) You can now choose who can use, share, edit, delete, or give others access to, each Process Workspace that you create in Business Miner. In the context menu for the Process Workspace (the three vertical dots), select Manage Permissions to change the permissions for other users, groups, or applications. You'll need the Analyst role in the Celonis team - users with the Member role can't access this function. As the creator of a Process Workspace, you have all the permissions on it by default. You can give users with the Member role permission to use the Process Workspace to create Explorations and Insights, and to share the Process Workspace with other users through the Share buttons. You can give any of the permissions to other users with the Analyst role - other Analysts can't edit your Process Workspace's settings or manage the permissions for it unless you let them. For the documentation, see Permissions in Process Workspaces.

Upgraded Apps and Studio navigation, with enhanced View editing experience (Limited Availability Program for Studio) (2023-12-01)   Our limited availability program for Studio enhancements has started. The scope includes: An intuitive and coherent Apps (for business users) and Studio navigation experience with improved search and guided creation flows.Simplified view editing to empower analysts to quickly and easily build dashboards and apps using drag-and-drop, visualization recommendations and integrated action setup.Enhanced PQL building functionality that simplifies the selection and aggregation of data while building your components. You can write PQL queries locally and see results immediately, or tap into a Knowledge Model or centralized knowledge definitions from our new Knowledge Hub (also in Limited Availability).The capability to set up email actions directly in table components. You can define the email and link it to a selection in a table, use attributes from the record in the email template, and set up an action button, without leaving the table. For all the changes and available capabilities, see Studio (new experience).

Transformation Hub (2023-11-14) The central hub for monitoring your transformation program and business impact Transformation Hub is the central hub for managing your transformation program and quantifying the business impact of Celonis implementations.

Changes to Skill availability (2023-10-05) From October 5, 2023, some less-used Actions for Skills that you can build using Action Flows will no longer be available in teams by default. They'll still work in your existing apps, you just can't use them in new ones. We encourage you to use Action Flows going forward. The items that won’t be available by default are the Webhook sensor, and the following Actions: Automation Anywhere (Agent), Blueprism (Agent), Coupa, Create Alert (Celonis), Update New Attribute (Celonis), Reload Data Model (Celonis), Firestart (Agent), Gmail, Gsheet, Gcalendar, Happyfox, Jira cloud, Jira (Agent), LeverX (Agent), Microsoft PA, Microsoft Teams, Oracle (Agent), Office 365, Salesforce, Salesforce (Sandbox), ServiceNow, Slack, SOAP, SAP (Agent), Trello, UiPath, UiPath (Agent), Workato, Webhook. Also, all the older and deprecated apps and actions that have already been de-listed won’t be available by default. If you can't move to Action Flows right now, or there's a particular Action in this list that you rely on, contact the support team at celopeers.com/s/support. We’ll also be enabling some Sensors and Actions for Skills by default for all teams. The Machine Learning Sensor, Manual Sensor, and Smart Sensor will be available by default, and the following Actions: the Execution Output, Filter, Loop, and Router system actions, and the Celonis actions Create PDF Report, Create Task, Email by Celonis, Email (SMTP), Execute Action Flow, Execute ML Notebook, Execute Process Automation Skill, Get Assignee, Get Task(s), Query Data Model, Update Augmented Attribute, Update Task(s), Write Data to Table, and Write Data To Table (Continuous Data Push API).

Last month to migrate from Process Analytics to Studio Analysis (October 2023) Studio Analysis is replacing Process Analytics. If you’re still using Process Analytics, migrate your analyses to Studio Analysis this month, as explained in Migration Steps. We’re removing access to Process Analytics on or after October 31, 2023. You’re likely to have Process Analytics on your EMS team if you became a Celonis customer in April 2021 or earlier. If you don't have Process Analytics on your EMS team, or if you are on Celonis 4, no action is required. To check, look for the Process Analytics icon in the navigation bar. Process Analytics and Studio Analysis have the exact same look and feel, so you can resume working with your analyses in Studio without any additional training. Studio also has the latest capabilities and user experiences in app-building and automation. See Process Analytics vs. Studio for a feature comparison and tips for Process Analytics users.

Changes to Business Miner (2023-10-31) Share an Insight or a Process Workspace with users outside your team Users of Business Miner can now share an Insight or a Process Workspace with anyone by providing their email address in the sharing dialog. Users who are Admins can add that user to the Celonis EMS team right away. Users who aren’t Admins can generate an email request to the team’s Admins with their justification for adding the new member. When an Admin approves the request, the recipient gets an email with information on the asset that’s being shared with them. An Admin needs to enable this feature in Admin & Settings before users can access it, then configure the email notifications. If you don’t want your users to make these requests, you can leave the feature disabled. See Sharing with non-EMS users for more information.

Workforce Productivity (powered by Task Mining) (2023-10-31) Custom labeling for your Task Mining data (Limited Availability) You can now create custom labels for your processed Task Mining data, to apply your own readable and meaningful application and screen names. Use our no-code label editor to create and manage your labeling rules. We've also reduced the number of default labels, and reformatted and reviewed them for quality. Custom labels and the no-code editor are in Limited Availability status. You'll need to create a new project to get the capability. If you want to try this feature out, get in touch with your Celonis point of contact. For the documentation for Workforce Productivity (powered by Task Mining), see Task Mining.

Control analyst access to Action Flow assets - Limited Availability (2023-10-30) You now have the option to control which analysts can access Action Flows to view, edit, and activate them. When you request activation of this feature, we’ll remove access to Action Flows for users with the Analyst role by default. You can enable access for the users or groups that you want in the Action Flow section of the Permissions pane in Admin & Settings. Users without access can't see Action Flows, and can't activate Action Flows, though they can still publish a package that contains them. Users with the Admin role always have access to Action Flows. This option is in Limited Availability status. If you’d like us to activate this solution in your team, ask your Celonis point of contact.  

Workforce Productivity (powered by Task Mining) (2023-10-30) Everyone can scale projects up to 2500 concurrent users and 6 months of data (General Availability) After our successful Limited Availability phase, we’re giving all customers of Workforce Productivity (powered by Task Mining) the capability to create projects with up to 2500 concurrent users, and analyze on average 6 months of historical data. Selected regions will see the new capability immediately, and everyone will get it on 30 October. Subject to licensing, you’ll benefit from the new user limit whenever you create a new project. You’ll also see that the package’s new delta architecture processes incoming data ready for analysis typically within 1 to 3 hours. Our new views simplify all the analysis features available in the previous version of the package. You’ll also get the Team Insights view which lets you calculate metrics for a subset of defined users, such as teams, regions, or roles. Because your existing projects are built on the older data model, we can’t migrate them automatically. You won’t see the new user limit, views, and processing speed for existing projects. If you want to upgrade and scale up an existing project, you’ll need to set it up again as a new project and manually adapt the views and analysis to work with the new schema. If you’d like to do this, get in touch with your Celonis point of contact. The 6-month average time for historical data analysis is based on the maximum permitted number of users sending a typical amount of Task Mining events daily. The actual limit is 1.6 billion events, so if you have fewer users in your project or they send fewer events than expected, you can analyze the data for a proportionally longer timeframe. We might also be able to help you in certain scenarios to roll out beyond the upper limit of 2500 concurrent users. Realm-specific limits on the number of concurrent users might affect your maximum scalability. To learn more about Workforce Productivity (powered by Task Mining), see Task Mining. 

Updates to SAP Ariba Extractor (2023-10-18) Extract EventSummaryFact table with Sourcing API We’ve added support for extracting the EventSummaryFact table through the Sourcing API. This table provides additional events and timestamps for use cases in the sourcing domain. If you have a connection to the Sourcing API, you’ll see the table in the extraction configuration, and you don’t need to make any changes. See SAP Ariba Connection for the Ariba Extractor documentation. Supported API Endpoints and available Tables lists the tables and columns that you can extract.

Bulk copy Studio packages and data pools between your EMS teams - Limited Availability (2023-10-12) With our new team-to-team copy feature you can pick packages and data pools to copy from one EMS team to another. The feature can check for any missing dependencies on other items that you didn't select for copying, and add them automatically. When you've set up a batch copy, you can rerun it whenever you want - we keep a log of both successful and failed runs and track progress while the copy is running. For data pools, the team-to-team copy feature doesn’t copy over your extracted and transformed data, just the configuration for the data pool - so you can use it to transfer a sandbox setup to a production team. You can read more at Copying multiple assets between EMS teams. Note that packages with Action Flows can’t be copied. The team-to-team copy feature is in Limited Availability status. If you want to try it out, ask your Celonis EMS contact.

Process Sphere version 0.8 (2023-10-11) Process Sphere's new user journey enables you to create a target model by mining a selection of "healthy" variants from the as-is behaviors shown in your data, and editing them into a to-be model that describes how your process should behave. You can then explore how the actual behaviors in your data deviate from the desired behavior in your target model. Process Sphere calculates what the impact of each deviation is - especially on the throughput time - and how often it occurs. You can filter your data at the mining, modeling, and exploration stages to limit the scope if you want to. We've enhanced Process Sphere's performance so the number of object types and event log entries is no longer limited, though the row limit for the underlying data still applies. For instructions and all the details, see the Process Sphere documentation.

Translate your apps into multiple languages in Studio (2023-10-09) Use our new localization feature to provide multi-language support for your apps. You'll find a Translations tab in the package settings - go there and click Enable Translations to activate the feature for that package. You can pick the app's default language and activate any of the nine supported languages. Then work with your translations in a CSV file or directly in Studio. For Knowledge Models and Views, we capture all attributes that you haven't yet translated and flag them for you. There's also a preview button so you can view translated assets in the alternate languages. When you've published the package, end users see the app in the language set in their EMS profile. See Translating Studio Apps. for more information. 

Upcoming changes to Skill availability (September 2023) From October 5, 2023, some less-used Actions for Skills that you can build using Action Flows will no longer be available in teams by default. They'll still work in your existing apps, you just can't use them in new ones. We encourage you to use Action Flows going forward. The items that won’t be available by default are the Webhook sensor, and the following Actions: Automation Anywhere (Agent), Blueprism (Agent), Coupa, Create Alert (Celonis), Update New Attribute (Celonis), Reload Data Model (Celonis), Firestart (Agent), Gmail, Gsheet, Gcalendar, Happyfox, Jira cloud, Jira (Agent), LeverX (Agent), Microsoft PA, Microsoft Teams, Oracle (Agent), Office 365, Salesforce, Salesforce (Sandbox), ServiceNow, Slack, SOAP, SAP (Agent), Trello, UiPath, UiPath (Agent), Workato, Webhook. Also, all the older and deprecated apps and actions that have already been de-listed won’t be available by default. If you can't move to Action Flows right now, or there's a particular Action in this list that you rely on, contact the support team at celopeers.com/s/support. We’ll also be enabling some Sensors and Actions for Skills by default for all teams. The Machine Learning Sensor, Manual Sensor, and Smart Sensor will be available by default, and the following Actions: the Execution Output, Filter, Loop, and Router system actions, and the Celonis actions Create PDF Report, Create Task, Email by Celonis, Email (SMTP), Execute Action Flow, Execute ML Notebook, Execute Process Automation Skill, Get Assignee, Get Task(s), Query Data Model, Update Augmented Attribute, Update Task(s), Write Data to Table, and Write Data To Table (Continuous Data Push API).

Migrate now from Process Analytics to Studio Analysis (September 2023) Studio Analysis is replacing Process Analytics. If you’re still using Process Analytics, migrate your analyses to Studio Analysis by September 30, 2023 as explained in Migration Steps. We’re removing access to Process Analytics on or after October 31, 2023. You’re likely to have Process Analytics on your EMS team if you became a Celonis customer in April 2021 or earlier. If you don't have Process Analytics on your EMS team, or if you are on Celonis 4, no action is required. To check, look for the Process Analytics icon in the navigation bar. Process Analytics and Studio Analysis have the exact same look and feel, so you can resume working with your analyses in Studio without any additional training. Studio also has the latest capabilities and user experiences in app-building and automation. See Process Analytics vs. Studio for a feature comparison and tips for Process Analytics users.

Open Credit Memo App for Accounts Payable version 1.0.1 (2023-09-26) In-app validation, configuration, and value framingThe Open Credit Memo app has a new Validation and Value Assessment view, to help you understand and validate the business logic step by step, and frame the use case’s value before you set up the app. We’ve also added two new quick filters to the Open Credit Memos tab, “Relevant Credit Memos” and “Irrelevant Credit Memos,” to filter the Action View using the scope that you define during the validation process. There’s some smaller enhancements and fixes too. When you update the app, you might see fewer credit memos than you expect, because we’ve pre-set a scope filter for you. If you want to see the full scope, go to the Settings view and remove all the restrictions. Use the validation process in the new view to define an appropriate scope filter for your business needs. For the app documentation, see Open Credit Memo App Installation.
