Advanced ARIS report settings

If you enable the Create links in Performance Dashboard option, corresponding XML elements are created in the Performance Dashboard definition file for the URL for inforef and URL for mvref attributes. The report sets a <documentation> element with the mvref, mvtarget, inforef and infotarget XML attributes in the XML file. These attributes are assigned depending on what you specify in the report options.

Management view options

You can specify a base URL that the report automatically links to the URL for mvref ARIS attribute. The value of the mvref XML attribute is made up of the home directory URL and the content of the URL for mvref user attribute for the object.

If you specify a base URL, make sure that the base URL is specified with a final slash and a complete URL is not entered for the URL for mvref user attribute (see also Shared object attributes chapter).

You can specify the HTML frame in which the Management view is to be displayed. Specify the name of the HTML frame that is entered in the XML file as the value for mvtarget.

If you do not specify an HTML frame, the Management view is displayed in the current browser window. To display the Management view in a new window, specify _blank.

Documentation options

You can specify where additional information for Performance Dashboard items is to be displayed. Specify the name of the HTML frame that is entered in the XML file as the value for infotarget.

For measure objects (<aggregationquery> and <query> XML elements), the value of the inforef attribute is transferred from the URL for inforef user attribute for the object.

By default, the Performance Dashboard definition file created by the ARIS report is saved in the script\report\out subdirectory of your ARIS installation and is automatically given the file name <Identifier of top level model>_def.xml.

Copy the created Performance Dashboard definition file to <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\data_ppm\webapp\WEB-INF\config\<client name>\performancedashboards.
