    1. Important

      Change the parameter right after the document ID to sidepanel

      Example:

      Celonis Analysis ID:

      http://<host>:<port>/#/frontend/documents/<documentNumber>/view/sheets/<id>

      Enter in the textbox:

      http://<host>:<port>/#/frontend/documents/<documentNumber>/sidepanel/sheets/<id>

  5. Doubleclick the new node and set the node option to Sidepanel in the additional node details

  6. Set the Alias: The alias defines the Transactions for which the sidepanel will be active. The syntax is {TR=<TA1>;<TA2>;…}. For ME21 that results in: {TR=ME21}

  7. Now save the role and all users that have the previously created sidepanel role will see the just set PI Companion analysis
