You can use ARIS Aware as visualizing component of ARIS if these extension packs are available: ARIS Server Extension Pack Aware Base (YCSAW) + ARIS Viewer Extension Pack Aware User (YCSCA) or ARIS Connect Designer Extension Pack Aware User (YCSDA). Using ARIS Aware enables you to combine information from many sources and visualize data as KPIs using dashboards. ARIS Aware supports users in various departments across the enterprise by providing dashboards for evaluating a wide variety of data. It improves the transparency of the business and enables you to make the best decisions based on reliable data analyses. What users see and what they can do in ARIS Aware depends on their user role.
ARIS Aware is equipped with default dashboards for common scenarios in the context of business process management, including:
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. For some dashboards, the Business Strategy and the Enterprise Architecture Management extension packs are required.
ARIS provides several default dashboards. In ARIS you can access demo dashboards using the most recent version of the United Motor Group 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. You can open or download documents and the Technical Help from the Documentation Web site. Documentation is also contained in the ARIS installation package that is available in the ARIS Download Center..
A valid ARIS Server Extension Pack Aware (YCSAW) license is available in ARIS Administration > User Management.
Users either need an ARIS Viewer license + ARIS 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 (see ARIS online help; Add an alias URL for dashboards).
Configuration to be done in ARIS Architect is described in this chapter.
