Basic functions

Login

All user roles can log in to Process Designer via this login page:

Figure 9 – Login page

The administrator sends users the link to the login page and the required credentials (username and password).

No login dialog is displayed if automatic authentication is enabled, such as SAML authentication.

A new OAuth Authentication Provider was introduced, allowing login via LinkedIn and Microsoft Account.

The new provider ensures that only users of type OAuthUser can log in and only if the maintained email address matches the one provided by LinkedIn/MS during login.

Tip

If enabled in the Celonis Platform, you may also be able to access Process Designer from the Celonis Platform Navigation bar. For more information, see Enabling access to Process Management products.

Get started

After you log in, Process Designer HOME displays:

You can access your process landscape using the corresponding buttons on the HOME page. The administrator determines the structure and content of the start page and the design and content of the homepage.

The user can access the process house/architecture, the organization, and various objects such as systems, documents, or risks. Quick links like “My last changed processes” open recently modified processes or objects.

The feature Method: The additional column ‘Reason for revision’ for News Lists allows Administrators to create a list on the HOME page, showing the most recently released processes or documents. The function adds a new piece of information to these lists next to the ‘Type of change’ column. It also shows the 'Reason for revision' attribute, which explains why the new version of the item was created. This feature is only available after the Admin activates it.'

Tip

Click the Celonis logo in the top-right of the user interface to open the Celonis Platform in a new tab. If you see a customer logo there instead and clicking doesn't open the Celonis Platform, your admin may need to Configure the logo link.

In the header, users can set a filter to see specific processes or objects that are only valid for certain organizations, locations, or tags.

The user information also contains information about the user´s authorization and contact data.

Use the Search feature to access the required processes and objects directly. Enter the search term into the text box to open an advanced search window.
