Formatting of custom KPIs is now possible.

With it, you can add custom units and how the KPI is being visualized.

Bug fixes

1. If the user deleted an image from the settings but kept the image component in the analysis, the image component would become transparent and an undefined error pop-up would briefly appear. There will no longer be any error pop-up shown. Instead, there will be a placeholder image and warning on the image component itself.

2. Sheets excluded from publishing are now grey in Studio Preview to distinguish them from non-excluded sheets.

3. Members were able to change the columns used for Conformance RCA. The PI configuration link is now hidden from Apps.

4. In rare cases, the filter icons would get hidden behind other components. This no longer happens.

5. The decimal separator for Spanish and French has been corrected.

6. Pie/donut chart labels sometimes got cropped out when there were many slices. The size of the chart now better adjusts to fit all labels.

7. Hidden activities in the Process Explorer/Variant Explorer will be saved with bookmarks going forward. Bookmarks created before this release will not change.

8."Percent" is now correctly translated to "Prozent" for German users.

New Studio features give you more flexibility, speed and transparency when you customize the business logic in your Knowledge Models!

    60363327.gif

    60363333.gif
Visual Editor for Flags

Define and identify execution gaps and anomalies in your data with the implementation of the Visual Editors for Flags! These allow users to easily create and customize Flags inside the Knowledge Model, through the Visual Editor for Records. Quickly define the conditions they will evaluate using the PQL Editor!

60363335.gif
Use Identifiers in Views

Users can now use the identifier inside components within Views! The identifier is now usable as an attribute.

60363338.png

60363325.png
Copy query to new clipboard

Users can now copy the complete backend query for OLAP tables and KPI components (Gauge, Fill, Number Radial) from the context menu in edit mode, or from the icon menu in preview mode. Analysis load scripts, hidden columns and selections are not copied.

SPA_1_23_1.png

Copy query is available for the following components:

  • KPI (Gauge, Fill, Number, Radial)

Copy_Query.gif
  • OLAP table

Example

FILTER "LFA1"."NAME1" IS NOT NULL, TABLE ( "LFA1"."NAME1" AS "Vendor", KPI("First Time Right Ratio") AS "FTR Ratio" FORMAT "%" ) ORDER BY KPI("First Time Right Ratio") DESC NOLIMIT;

COMING SOON! Reuse the data in the table in Action Flows by pasting the query into the Query Data module.

Bug fixes

  1. Setting an activity table other than the default as the custom dimension in the conformance checker returned NaN or 0. This use case now works as intended.

  2. The word "Events" has been removed from Steps per case in the conformance checker in order to match the overview.

Table Virtual Scrolling

Virtual scrolling was implement to increase the table's performance by decreasing the load time. It does this by only rendering the rows/columns that are initially display and then loading the data and you scroll to view it. There should be no impact on how you interact with or use the table.

Fixes
  • If the project creation fails due to team limitations (e.g. licenses), the user will be informed in the error message how to resolve this.

  • If the project creation fails, the creation of a (non-working) project will be prevented. Previously, the project was still created despite e.g. data pool creation failure.

  • Recreates the application key during project creation if it doesn't exist anymore.

  • Automatically increases counter for e.g. data pool names if during project creation a data pool of the same name already exists. E.g. "Quickstart Demo (2)".

  • Fixes formatting errors of the attribute "WebPageDataExtractions" in the advanced config so the Client can load it correctly.

  • Ignores several attributes when uploading a config file to the advanced config: "appkey", "dataPoolId", "bucketId", "targetTable", "teamDomain", "serverId". Those attributes will always be defined by the "Project Connection" menu or the Celonis Platform team in which the project is created (so "teamDomain" always matches the respective Celonis Platform team URL of the project).
