Add a URL alias for dashboards

Define the alias URL to be used within data feeds. If you specify Feed URL, all default data feeds will work properly.

Defining a URL alias enables you to shorten the link used in dashboards and data feeds. If you use an alias, you only specify the path to the location where the data is stored. You do not need to enter the entire URL. Furthermore, adapting the alias enables you to import this kind of data to a different server.

If you have updated ARIS 10.0 Service Release 1 to version 10.0 Service Release 2, you need to recreate the URL alias that WAS defined for ARIS 10.0 Service Release 1. Delete the URL alias at first and add a new URL alias with the same data.
