Choosing the Custom Component from the menu presented in Figure 3.7 will enable you to freely design your own component using PQL Syntax. The configuration only contains a few options explained in the following sections.
Configuration Options
- Selection Application Although the dynamic adaptation of all analysis components to a filtering selection made is one of the most powerful features in SAP Process Mining by Celonis , sometimes you might want to exclude single components from adapting to filters. By activating “Don’t apply selection to this component”, the component will become insensible to selections made within other components. However, by default “Apply selection to this component” will be enabled to allow the component to adapt to dynamic filtering.
- Custom PQL Query: This is where you actually define the component. Insert any query conforming with PQL Syntax. All PQL functions can be used in this field, making it a very powerful instrument to design custom components.
Filters
In the lower right corner of the Custom Component configuration menu you will find the Filters button.
The Filters button is available in most components and gives you the possibility to define a filter that will be applied only to this component. If you apply a filter, only the data conforming to the filter criteria will be chosen as basis for the component. For the definition, any statement made in PQL Syntax can be used.
