Configuring MashZone for Workflow Dashboard
OneData uses MashZone to visualize the workflow reports as graph and summary tables. You can analyze these visualizations under workflow dashboards. OneData supports MashZone 2.2 and later versions.
OneData provides you a .mzp file containing eight data feeds that establishes the connection between OneData and MashZone. These data feeds use the data from the system objects for workflow analysis and generates the graph and summary tables. The data feeds are:
OD_WF_WFRules_Feed
OD_WF_Object_Feed
OD_WF_Approvers_Feed
OD_WF_OldestPendingItems_Feed
OD_WF_MostPendingObjects_Feed
OD_WF_MostPendingApprovers_Feed
OD_WF_Graph_Feed
OD_WF_ApprRej_Graph_Feed
For more information about the system objects, see System Objects Used In Workflow Dashboard.
Important: You must install MashZone from http://www.mashzone.com/en/download on your machine before configuring the workflow dashboard. For MashZone installation steps, see the ARIS documentation on the Software AG Documentation website.
