Dashboards are interactive applications that collect, combine, and visualize data from different data sources, for example, ARIS table or CSV files. Dashboards are composed of individual widgets (for example, line chart or grid). They obtain their data from data sources and display them.
Dashboards make it easy to visualize and analyze information. You can combine data from any original source and visualize them using graphic elements, filter the displayed results interactively and thus analyze them intuitively.
The dashboard editor as a graphical user interface gives you an easy graphic way to create, manage, and view your dashboards. The dashboard editor provides the edit mode and the view mode. In the edit mode you can create and manage your dashboards. The view mode enables you to view and use your dashboards interactively.

ARIS offers many default dashboards. For demonstration purposes, you can display demo dashboards that are available in the United Motor Group demo database.
The predefined dashboards contain charts or tables that show the results of various visual analyses. The default dashboards are only available if your ARIS administrator made them available.
ARIS contains 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 default dashboards are provided, you can use connected to the United Motor Group demo database. Demo dashboards use static data to give you an overview about the functional range of charts used in the United Motor Group demo database. Demo dashboards are for demonstration purposes only. This fictive data is stored in initially imported default XML documents. When reports update XML documents, demo dashboards are no longer provided properly because the fictive data used to generate the demo dashboards is overwritten.
You can use the demo dashboards to learn about usage and functionality of related charts (see also ARIS online help: Use ARIS > Use dashboards > Good to know).
