Planned Releases

We're releasing a refreshed look for Celonis Process Management. This new look will ensure CPM is more aligned with the rest of the Celonis Platform. This is a cosmetic change and will not affect existing functions or information architecture.

Homepage

The default icons for the homepage tiles will be updated to a new, modern set.

Below is an overview of how the icons have been modernized:

For accessibility, we advice that existing customers update colors and fonts on your homepage. This ensures a consistent user experience.

New customers will not have homepage tile colors automatically assigned. Customers can still customize tiles as desired.

Navigation

The Editor and Viewer modes are now conveniently located on the right side of the screen, allowing you to toggle between building and viewing your models. This streamlines your workflow by keeping key functions readily accessible. You can enter either mode by clicking either the pencil or X icon on the top right of the screen.

We've improved accessibility for color customization. Previously, customizations were not applied to icons in the menu. This made them difficult to read. To fix this, we have now made its so that icons have a white background.

Mandatory fields are no longer displayed in orange, but in solid black.

The new modeling experience for process facets enables you to build BPMN 2.0 compliant diagrams more efficiently.

Model collaborations using pools, lanes, and message flows.

Work faster with inline text editing and clear visual indicators for element types and markers.

Add clarity with annotations.

Please file a service desk ticket to enable the new modeling experience.

Access

To access the public preview of our new modeling experience, go to a subprocess and open the Graphics dropdown. You'll see a list of views. Those included as part of the new modeling experience are labeled Public Preview.

Edit shape labels

Authors can edit shape labels faster than ever. Direct, click-to-edit functionality streamlines your modeling process.

Enhanced task view

With the enhanced task view, authors can now see task types, markers, and related object information directly within the task itself.

Draw edges between objects

Hover over the source object's port, click, drag to the target, and release to instantly visualize connections.

Assign roles to swimlanes

Authors can assign existing roles to swimlanes to make the responsibility of activities clear.

Edit labels for pools and lanes

Authors can edit labels for pools and lanes without using a reference. Double-click on the shape to provide a name.

Draw message flows between different pools

Authors can draw message flows between objects in two different pools. The message flow can be configured further to be an initiating and non-initiating message flow. For this click on the message flow and change its type.

Store annotations

Authors can store annotations to a specific shape to share relevant information.

We’re moving away from using API and application keys to the OAuth 2.0 authorization standard to provide a more secure, streamlined and efficient developer journey.

Users currently generate long-term API keys or application keys in the Celonis Platform. These keys are then embedded in applications and allow data to be requested or pushed using Celonis APIs. As these keys typically have a long life, cannot be rotated and their scope cannot be limited, any application with an embedded API or application key can access almost all Celonis APIs. 

With OAuth 2.0, scoping means OAuth-enabled clients can access permitted APIs only. This follows the security principle of least privilege so an OAuth client only has the privileges required to perform a certain task.

For information on enabling OAuth 2.0 on the Celonis Platform, see Using an OAuth 2.0 token in Celonis.
