Case explorer for Views
A case explorer displays the data tables connected to the Celonis engine and provides an intuitive tool for examining cases and their respective activities. It is useful to localize problems, validate insights and validate data. It can be added to a View as a component and can also be accessed in Business Miner by clicking the button next to the case number.

The table on the left side is the case table with all cases. Each row contains information for one case. Clicking on the case ID allows you to view the activity details of that case on the right panel. The colors used for each event log are consistent with those in the process explorer.
Where you can clear all sorting, revert to the default settings and change the visibility of columns. The Case Explorer displays the following columns by default:
Case ID
# of Activities
TPT Duration
First Activity
First Activity Timestamp
Last Activity
Last Activity Timestamp
If the activity table contains more columns, they can be displayed by changing the column visibility of the table.
Move to the next or previous case.
Expand to see activity details.
Search for an activity by activity name
The View Case Explorer component supports multiple event logs. One event log from the multiple event logs is the main event log for a case explorer. The case IDs in the case explorer are the case IDs from the main event log. The columns of the case explorer table are the columns from the main event log. Other than the main event log, the other event logs can get hidden when changing the visibility of event logs on the case detail panel. When an event log is hidden in the activity table, the activities in this event log are also excluded from the case explorer table.
The View Case Explorer component supports multiple event logs, however, only one of the event logs is the main event log for the case explorer. The case IDs displayed in the case explorer and the columns from the case explorer table are both from this main event log. Other than the main event log, the rest of the event logs can be hidden by changing the visibility of event logs from the case detail panel. When an event log is hidden in the activity table, the activities from this event log are also excluded from the case explorer table.
Configure the case explorer
Basic case explorer configuration
To configure a basic case explorer, use the following YAML:
id: case-explorer type: case-explorer settings: {}
Advanced case explorer configuration
If you have multiple event logs, using the basic configuration settings: {}
would only include the main event log for case explorer. The main event log for Case Explorer is the default event log set in the data model. Using the advanced configuration below, you can include all available event logs. The columns of the case explorer table are taken from the main event log. You define which event log is the main event log for the case explorer by listing it in the first place of the event log list. So in the example below, Invoice_Order
is the main event log.
id: case-explorer1 type: case-explorer settings: name: Retail order management data: record: km_invoice_record -- optional eventlogs: - eventLog: Invoice_Order - eventLog: Return_Order - eventLog: Sales_Order - eventLog: Delivery_Order
Attribute | Required | Type | Possible values | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
name | No | String | Defines the case explorer name that will be displayed on the top left corner of the component. | |
data record | No | string | Record Ids from the Knowledge Model | If you don’t want to use the default auto-generated record in the Knowledge Model for the Case Table, you can configure your own record in the KM with the appropriate attributes and correct unit/format. Then use the RecordId from the record you configured as the main record rendered in the case table section of this CaseExplorer component. NoteThe attributes and PQL statements used in this record should have a data model relation with the actual case table. Otherwise the component will not be able to render and you will get an error message. |
