How to make dashboards available

You can use dashboards as visualizing component in ARIS if these extension packs are available: ARIS Server Extension Pack Aware Base (YCSAW) + ARIS Viewer Extension Pack Aware User (YCSCA) or ARIS Connect Designer Extension Pack Aware User (YCSDA).

Using Dashboards enable you to combine information from many sources and visualize data as KPIs. What users see and what they can do depends on their user role. For some dashboards, the Business Strategy, the Enterprise Architecture Management, or the ARIS for SAP® Solutions extension packs are required.

Dashboards can be made available on the Dashboard tab. After the XML documents were updated by the related reports, dashboards using Center of Excellence (CoE) data are only available if the published content is based on the default configuration set or a related modification set.

Default dashboards are also available on various fact sheets and multiple model diagrams. If default dashboards are provided, you can use demo dashboards 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. If made available, the default dashboards can also display your own data. Default dashboards can be extended and customized according to the individual requirements of a company.

If default dashboards are provided, you can use demo dashboards 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).

You can define where different dashboards are to be displayed. For detailed information see Modification sets and dashboards.

In addition, you can create and manage own dashboards and data feeds. For detailed information see: Manage dashboards and data feeds.
