Celonis EMS Product Updates and Feature Releases for November 2022

Studio features released in November 2022

Table components (15-12-2022) Description: Introduces an option to disable filtering using cell selections within the View’s Table component. This configuration can be defined in the component’s YAML setup. Documentation: Table documentation

Sync filters between views (15-12-2022) Description: Brings new ways of synchronizing filters between views. Until now, users could decide if filters should be carried over from one View to another View when using components such as a table or button. When a filter was applied on View 1, and the user jumped to another View 2 by clicking on a button, the filter was forwarded. With this new change, the user can decide if the filters should be shared forward only (as of today), backward only (bringing filters from View 2 to View 1 only), both ways or not at all. In addition to that, the filters are synced immediately. This works no matter if View 2 is a Profile View or linked to the table and button component via View key. Other components like execution gap list or process explorer will follow at a later stage. Documentation: Table documentation
