New Process Journey view in Process Journal displays all process steps, with live data available at process and task level (Limited Availability)

Process Navigator

New feature

We've added a new view called Process Journey to Process Journal, accessed from any Process Journal page using a dropdown button. The Process Journey view lets business users see all the steps in a process without consulting the process model. In addition, where configured by their Celonis Process Management admin, users can enable live data in the Process Journey view at process and task level using a slider button.

Note

Contact your Celonis Account team to access this functionality during the Limited Availability period.

Process Navigator: Scope filter evaluation behavior updated to align with behavior in Process Designer

Bug fix

Process Navigator

Process Navigator was returning different results to Process Designer when the same Scope filters were applied.

We’ve updated OR filtering within a type so only one selected object within a specific type needs to match the search criteria for that object to be returned. Where filters exist for more than one type, each type must have at least one match with the object in the search result, representing a logical AND filter between types.

Where an object does not have any filters configured for a specific type, it will still be displayed if another scope filter applied to that object matches your filter setting.

Where scope filters are not set for objects, these objects will now be  hidden to align with the Hide empty filter setting in Process Designer.

This means Process Navigator and Process Designer now display the same objects on the Home and Search pages when the same Scope filters are applied.

May 2024

May 15, 2024

New default colors and link added to the Celonis Platform

Optimization

Process Designer

We’re updated the default background and header bar colors in Process Designer to gray and dark blue respectively. However, where Process Designer colors have been customized, these customized colors will be retained.

We’ve also added a clickable Celonis logo to the Process Designer user interface, allowing seamless, single-click navigation to the Celonis Platform. Admins can replace the Celonis logo with their own logo, with a simple configuration update in the Celonis Platform Admin & Settings retaining the link to the Celonis Platform.

April 27, 2024

Process Navigator: Only Valid Objects filter

Optimization

Process Navigator

A Show only valid objects button has been added to the filters dialog. If activated, only elements in the 'valid' state are displayed in widgets that support filtering, for example, the My Overview widget on the home page.

Screen showing an example with filters set.

April 27, 2024

Process Navigator: Filter added for accountable organizational units

Optimization

Process Navigator

Added a new filter to the Process Navigator search page to filter for accountable organizations. The filter contains a list of all available organization units for the currently-applied filters. You can select one or more organization units to filter on for both “local” and “global” accountable organizations at the same time. This filter is visible by default but can be hidden if needed.

April 27, 2024

Process Navigator: Improved search for released documents, processes etc.

Optimization

Process Navigator

We've improved the experience within the Navigator Search page when searching for newly-released objects.

When sorting by released on, the newest objects will be shown at the top of the list and the released on dates will be visible instead of the valid date. You can also sort by object type. Additionally, all dates displayed in Process Navigator will now use the date/time defined by Process Designer, instead of the user's local date/time.

April 05, 2024

You can access the Detail Modal in Process Navigator by clicking the Detail button that appears when hovering over objects within lists or by clicking on object shapes within the object graphic.

The Detail Modal also lets you quickly view information for objects within the context you opened the dialog from; if opened from within a process graphic, all tasks will be available within a dropdown. If opened from within the search page, all visible results will be available instead.

March 2024

Process Navigator: Navigation in graphics for events and interfaces

Optimization

Process Navigator

Added functionality to show predecessors for startevent and successors on interfaces and end events, if maintained. When there are predecessors or successors to the element, a small icon shows this on the element. When you click the element, it opens a context menu with the maintained predecessors and successors on the element. You can then click and navigate from journal page to journal page and fullscreen page to fullscreen page.

Example screen showing context menu.
