### Improvements

#### App templates

We simplified the structure of input data for app templates. Input tables now retain the same names used in your source system.

* For **Event log** and **Custom process** app templates, input tables do no longer need the `_raw` suffix.
* For **Purchase-to-Pay** and **Order-to-Cash** app templates, input tables do no longer need the `_base_raw` suffix.
* For specific app templates, input tables do no longer need the `_input` suffix.
  :::note
  You need to create a new process app to benefit from these improvements.

### Process simulation (preview)

**Process simulation** is now available in preview.

With **Process simulation** you can compare the real-world behavior of your processes with the modeled version, revealing inconsistencies and opportunities for improvement. Process simulation allows you to simulate process changes using existing **Process Mining** data to gain insight into potential impacts on throughput times and overall performance.

Refer to [Process simulation](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/process-simulation) for more information.

### Improvements

#### Data manager

* You can now edit properties for custom fields directly from **Data manager**.
* Field properties are now edited in the **Field details** panel.
* When editing field properties, you can select **Configure logic** in the **Field details** panel to edit the custom field expression.

#### Data transformations editor

* You can now quickly pin a tab or close the current tab, all other tabs, or all tabs from the tab context menu.

#### Consumption units charges for Process Optimization apps

In the **Data capacity** overview, it is now indicated for Process Optimization apps created through Maestro whether the app is charged.

Process Optimization apps created through Maestro that use onlyMaestro generated data are not charged to your account. If your Process Optimization app combines Maestrodata with external data, up to 10,000 (10k) rows are free of charge. Once the Process Optimization app exceeds 10,000 rows, it will be charged in the same way as other Process Mining apps.

### Improvements

#### Create new app

New process apps are created using a Directly follows process model, by default. You can switch the process mining type to a Discover process model or an imported BPMN model from the **Process models** page.

Refer to [Process manager](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/process-manager) for more information.

#### Managing input data

Milliseconds are now optional for Datetime format fields.

Refer to [Managing input data](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-input-data) for more information.

#### Using LLM functions in data transformations

LLM functions enable you to process unstructured text into structured output for aggregated analysis in your dashboards:

* Classify: Group a set of values into categories, for example to generate high-level activity categories.
* Sentiment analysis: Analyze the sentiment of text messages, for example to check the sentiment in customer responses.

Check out our documentation on [Using LLM functions in data transformations](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/using-llm-functions-in-data-transformations) for more information and example use cases.
