In the definition file *_def.xml, paths refer to the favorites for the queries in PPM.
The ARIS report automatically generates the paths for the favorites based on the structure of your ARIS model. The name of the favorite is specified without a leading backslash.
Example
<pcdefinition name="umg_de" … >
<processgroup name="Core">
<process name="CustServ">
<processgroup name="CustServ">
<process name="ChangeManagement" …>
<usefavorite>Solution rate</usefavorite>
</process>
. . .
Resulting path in Performance Dashboard:
\umg_en\Core\CustServ\ChangeManagement\Solution rate
You can also use an absolute path to refer to the favorite:
Favorite with leading backslash
<process name="ChangeManagement" …>
<usefavorite>\Cost Controlling\Process costs</usefavorite>
</process>
The favorites structure in the definition file determines the favorite structure in PPM.
