Assign ARIS Table data source
You can assign an ARIS Table data source to a dashboard component.
This data source operator extracts data from an ARIS table. In ARIS, you can export a model of the Table type and generate a link to the exported file in the form of an URL. Detailed information on how to create an ARIS table is available in the ARIS online help.
If you have defined one or more input parameters for the selected component the Insert input parameter button is available for the ARIS Table operator. By clicking the button you can insert a defined input parameter at the cursor position. Click on the inserted parameter for more options. See Create Input Parameters.
