Configure dashboards

You can use dashboards as visualizing component in ARIS if these extension packs are available: ARIS Connect Server Extension Pack Aware Base (YCSAW) + ARIS Connect Viewer Extension Pack Aware User (YCSCA) or ARIS Connect Designer Extension Pack Aware User (YCSDA).

Using Dashboards enables you to combine information from many sources and visualize data as KPIs. What users see and what they can do depends on their user role.

ARIS contains default dashboards for common scenarios in the context of business process management, including:

  • Center of Excellence (CoE)

  • Collaboration

  • Confirmation Management

  • Customer Experience Management (CXM)

  • Business Strategy

  • Enterprise Architecture Management

  • Portal usage

  • Process Performance Management

  • Risk and Compliance

  • SAP Solutions data

  • Variant management

For some dashboards, the Business Strategy, the Enterprise Architecture Management, or the ARIS for SAP ® Solutions extension packs are required.

If made available, the default dashboards can also display your own data. Default dashboards can be extended and customized according to the individual requirements of a company.

ARIS provides several default dashboards. In ARIS you can access demo dashboards using the most recent version of the Sample DB ARIS database. You can either use these dashboards created for demonstration purposes, or create your own dashboards.

In order to make the default dashboards available in ARIS, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • The dashboarding runnable is in the ACTIVE state.

    It is already activated if ARIS Aware has been installed. If the runnable is not active, your server administrator must activate the runnable using ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) (see Technical Help: ARIS server Installation - Windows, ARIS server Installation Linux, or ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) Command-Line Tool.).

  • A valid ARIS Server Extension Pack Aware (YCSAW) license is available in ARIS Administration > User Management.

  • Users either need an ARIS Connect Viewer + ARIS Connect Viewer Extension Pack Aware User (YCSCA) license to see dashboards or an ARIS Connect Designer Extension Pack Aware User (YCSDA) license to modify dashboards.

  • In ARIS, the Feed URL alias URL must be defined.

  • The required content has been made available.

  • In ARIS, check default data feeds for issues.
