Keep ARIS Aware dashboards up to date

This procedure describes how to define scheduled reports in ARIS Architect.

Database information to be compiled for dashboard display is gathered by different reports. These reports generate data feed input stored in ARIS document storage. Run these reports automatically to keep all data compiled for dashboard display up to date. In order to use the Piwik - Global portal usage and Piwik - Database-specific portal usage reports, make sure to have Piwik installed and configured and the report parameters specified accordingly.
