Specify report parameters in ARIS Architect

To generate data feed input for default ARIS Aware Dashboards, the reports listed in the Dashboard data category (Administration tab > Evaluations Evaluations > Reports) are available in ARIS Architect.

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.

In order to use the Matomo - Global portal usage and Matomo - Database-specific portal usage reports, make sure to have Matomo installed and configured and the report parameters specified accordingly.

All default ARIS Aware Dashboards work together with the United Motor Group demonstration ARIS database. Some reports already use default parameters, such as file names and titles of the report results, stored in ARIS document storage. You can change these names and titles in different parameter value sets. If you assign different sets to different databases, the same report can be run on different databases using different parameters.

These tabs categorize parameters defining item types to be evaluated in the defined ways.

    If you modify values, the demo system will be affected. You can add Add and modify duplicated Duplicate value pairs instead. Click Assign modification Assign modification to apply the changes when executing the report for a specific database.

  7. Click OK.
