Object-centric process mining: Create templates for your transformations (2024-08-27)

You can now set up a template containing an SQL query, and use it to create the transformations for many similar object types or event types. Templates are especially useful if you are modeling multiple flavors of the same event (for example, delivery dispatch by different shipping methods), or if you are transforming data from multiple data sources to create the same objects or events.When you're creating a transformation for an object type or event type, you'll now get the choice to use one of your transformation templates. There's a new Templates tab in the Transformations area of the Objects and Events environment, where you can create, edit, rename, and delete your transformation templates. You can also see the transformation instances that you've created using each template. The list of transformations in the Transformations tab tells you if a transformation was created from a template, and you can access the template from there too.To get the best out of transformation templates, include local parameters in them for the parts that you expect to vary, such as the source system name. For each transformation instance that you create from a template, you can then just go to the list of local parameters in the transformation editor, and add the correct values for that transformation. The content from the template remains read-only, and it changes to match if you edit the template - so with one edit you can apply fixes or updates to all the transformations that use the template. If a transformation instance needs further customization, for example because a source system holds the data for an attribute in a different way, you can create a partial overwrite like you would for a Celonis catalog transformation. Partial overwrites stay in effect when the template changes.For the instructions to work with transformation templates, see Creating transformation templates.

Control Celonis catalog updates for object-centric process mining (2024-08-05)

Control Celonis catalog updates for object-centric process mining (2024-08-05) Previously, when we released a new version of the Celonis catalog with upgraded object types, event types, relationships, transformations, and perspectives, we applied the update automatically in your team. This includes Celonis catalog items in processes that you've already enabled and used in your object-centric data model, which might get behavior changes or new attributes. It's important to keep your Celonis catalog items up to date because downstream consumers such as our Business Apps are always based on the latest version of the object types and event types in the Celonis catalog. You also need to keep the SQL transformations up to date so that they are compatible with the current requirements for the object-centric data model - out of date transformations might result in errors when you try to save and publish your model. But there's always times when you're in the middle of something important and you don't want an update right now. From 31 July, you can choose when to apply a new Celonis catalog update in your team. When a new version of the catalog is available, we'll display an Update available link on the Objects and Events dashboard next to the current catalog version, and an Update button on the catalog view. Click the button to get a link to the release notes, and read what's changed in this update and in any previous updates that you skipped. Then select Update catalog if you want to go ahead with the update, or Cancel if you don't want to update now. You'll still have the option available to update when you're ready.

Enhanced content and the new Studio experience in object-centric Starter Kits (2024-07-19)

Enhanced content and the new Studio experience in object-centric Starter Kits (2024-07-19) Our new versions of the object-centric Starter Kits for the Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Order Management, and Procurement processes are now built with the latest features in Studio, and take full advantage of the new Studio experience. We’ve made many upgrades to the Starter Kit content as well as to the user interfaces. Here are the highlights:You can easily adapt the Starter Kits to fit your needs with the new Studio experience.We’ve replaced the Validation Cockpit with a completely rebuilt Setup and Validation view, which is the easiest way for you to align the KPI definitions to what you are used to in your organization.In the Process Cockpit, the new Overview tab lets you see at a glance which use cases improve which business objectives. Other changes include a quick access to the settings and a case table on each tab.Each Starter Kit now comes with more use cases and more ways for you to find value opportunities in your process. Examples include Unshipped Orders and Time-to-Bill for Order Management, and Manual Credit Reviews for Accounts Receivable.We’ve used the latest features in Studio to build the Starter Kit views, including containers, scale-to-fit and scrollable view layouts, built-in filter bars, calculated attributes, enhanced variables, linked views, pie charts, and more.You can compare your key metrics with the new Benchmarking views.The new Value Framing view lets you validate and frame the value of every value opportunity in your process. It’s already in the Order Management Starter Kit, and it’s coming soon for the others. The object-centric Starter Kit versions that are built on the new Studio experience are available in the Celonis Marketplace as new packages. You won’t be able to download them as an update to your existing object-centric Starter Kit package - you’ll need to download and install them as a new installation. The new Starter Kit packages have the same names as the old packages, as they replace them, and we won’t be updating the old packages built with the legacy Studio components. Here's the Setup and Validation view:
