What are the areas relevant to ARIS Aware?

You can use ARIS Aware to create dashboards and data feeds, store data, read data, configure dashboards, and show dashboards.

The following paragraphs describe the data collection using reports. There are also other ways of collecting data, for example, using data files that are manually uploaded to ARIS document storage.

Create dashboards and data feeds

You can create and connect dashboards and data feeds. Dashboards and data feeds are stored on the server you defined.

Store data

Database information to be compiled for the dashboard display is gathered by different reports.

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.

Read data

Data to be displayed in a dashboard is loaded from the ARIS document storage database and combined with ARIS attributes extracted from the XML files that are stored in the ARIS document storage database as well.

Configure dashboards

Dashboards can be configured for different items to be shown in different views in the ARIS Connect portal and in Collaboration.

Show dashboards

Dashboards can be shown in different views in the Published content view and collaboration. You can use the supplied database United Motor Group to show various dashboards.
