To generate data feed input for default ARIS Aware Dashboards, the reports listed in the Dashboard data category (Administration tab > Evaluations > Reports) are available in ARIS Architect.
For some reports, parameters can be specified. These parameterized reports are to be started frequently using report schedules. This keeps the dashboards up to date. The scheduled reports themselves trigger related reports. Each report collects specific pieces of information. The results are stored in ARIS document storage as XML report output files. These pieces of information are formed into dashboards. That is why dashboards correlate very closely to the set of executed reports.
To use the Matomo - Global portal usage and Matomo - Database-specific portal usage reports, make sure to have Matomo installed and configured and the report parameters specified accordingly.
All default ARIS Aware Dashboards work together with the United Motor Group demonstration ARIS database. Some reports already use default parameters, such as file names and titles of the report results, stored in ARIS document storage. You can change these names and titles in different parameter value sets. If you assign different sets to different databases, the same report can be run on different databases using different parameters.
Prerequisite
You are
for this tenant.The administrator roles described in the following are defined via various privileges at the server and database level. Depending on the roles assigned to the administrators they can carry out specific functions.
superuser
The user superuser is created automatically. By default, this user is assigned the User management, License management, and Configuration administrator function privileges. This user can also enable this function privilege for other users. Users of the superuser type do not use up a license. They manage the system administration, but cannot use ARIS products due to license restrictions. The default password is superuser. You should change the default password to prevent unauthorized access. The password of the superuser is very important, as it is the only user who cannot be deleted. You can change all user data except for the user name. The superuser can recreate the other default users (system, arisservice, guest) if they were deleted.
system
The system user system assumes the of the system administrator and has all function and access privileges in all databases of a tenant. Authorized persons can use this emergency user to log in to any database, even if you are using an external system, such as LDAP, for authentication.
The name system cannot be changed. The System user check box for this user (Function privileges properties page in ARIS Architect) cannot be disabled either. You should immediately change the password manager to prevent unauthorized access.
To avoid problems, you should create additional system users. Having more than one system user can avoid problems, for example, if one system user has forgotten his password. If you forgot the passwords of all your system users, the full range of functions is no longer available and full data access is no longer possible.
The following administrator roles are defined:
Database administrators
Database administrators require the Database administrator function privilege in ARIS Administration. Users with this role have all function and access privileges and can edit data of all databases of the client.
Database administrators perform the following tasks at the server level:
Create databases
Delete databases
Backup databases
Restore databases using backups
Reorganize databases
Users with defined function privileges can perform additional actions at the database level.
Configuration administrators

Procedure
Start ARIS Architect.
In ARIS Architect, click ARIS > Administration.
Click Navigation in the bar panel if the Navigation bar is not activated yet.
In the navigation tree, click the folder Evaluations > Reports.
Click the Dashboard data category (subfolder).
Select the report to be made available in ARIS.
In the Start tab bar, click Edit report parameters. The report parameters are displayed.
On the Output tab, for all reports generating input for data feeds, file names, document titles and the ARIS document storage paths are specified. For other reports, such as CoE reports, various other tabs are available, for example, General, Conventions or Thresholds. These tabs categorize parameters defining item types to be evaluated in the defined ways.
If you modify values, the demo system will be affected. You can add and modify duplicated
value pairs instead. Click Assign modification
to apply the changes when executing the report for a specific database.
Click OK.
The report evaluates data and uses the required parameters.
Users can start parameterized reports using the Report Wizard. If several parameter value sets are defined, the required set can be selected.
