Generate data request URL

You can use data from ARIS Risk and Compliance in dashboard applications, for example, the dashboard editor in ARIS using data request URLs. A data request URL provides access to the relevant data. The data request URL establishes a direct connection between the dashboard application and ARIS Risk and Compliance. The user privileges are checked when a dashboard accesses a data request URL.

A dashboard requires data in tables with a defined header. Therefore, the data from ARIS Risk and Compliance is prepared accordingly. To limit data selection, you can apply filter criteria. ARIS Risk and Compliance outputs data that can be used in an ARIS table operator in ARIS data feeds. For external applications, ARIS Risk and Compliance outputs data in CSV format (comma-separated values) without data type information. A vertical bar (|), also called pipe, is used as a separator. If a text box in ARIS Risk and Compliance contains a vertical bar then it is replaced by an underscore in the CSV file. The UTF-8 character set is used for encoding the data.

Procedure. Procedure

  1. Click ARIS Risk and Compliance Administration Administration > Integration.

  2. Under Dashboard management, click Data requests. The components of ARIS Risk and Compliance are displayed.

  3. Select the component, for example, Risk Management, and the required data request form, such as Type (risk). The predefined set of attributes and filters is displayed.

  4. Select the required attributes. If you move the mouse pointer over an attribute, the label used for the attribute in the data request URL is displayed (tooltip). The Language filter specifies the language in which the language-specific attributes are displayed in the dashboard. This does not apply if the data request URL is used with an ARIS table data source. In this case, the ARIS login language is used.

  5. Using filters, you can restrict the data selection.

  6. Click Generate data request URL.

The data request URL is generated according to the selected list and attributes. Click Copy to clipboard to use it in a dashboard application, for example the dashboard editor in ARIS. For detailed information, refer to ARIS Risk and Compliance default dashboards in ARIS.

You can also adapt the data request URL manually, for example, by adding further parameters in the specified format. If the tenant is required, for example, if you use the data request URL in other dashboard applications than the dashboard editor in ARIS, add &tenant=<tenantname> at the end of the data request URL, for example, &tenant=default. A data request URL used in the dashboard editor in ARIS must not contain the tenant because no data can be retrieved if the tenant is used in combination with the data of the logged-in user.
