Configure the dashboard editor in ARIS to display dashboards

Create a dashboard in the dashboard editor in ARIS

You can create a dashboard in the dashboard editor in ARIS.

Prerequisites

You have created an URL alias for ARIS Risk and Compliance in ARIS Administration (Application launcher Application launcher > Linked Icon_react_connect_N_small Administration > Configuration Configuration > Dashboards). For detailed information, refer to Add a URL alias for dashboards in the ARIS online help.

Procedure. Procedure

  1. Start ARIS.

  2. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Linked Icon_react_connect_N_small Dashboards and Data feeds. The dashboards are displayed.

  3. Click Add Add dashboard in the button bar. The dashboard editor opens on a separate browser tab.

  4. In the right-hand panel, click a data visualization component, in our example Grid.

  5. Click Configure data manually > Show all.

  6. Click ARIS Table data source. The Configure ARIS Table operator panel is displayed.

  7. Paste the data request URL you generated in ARIS Risk and Compliance before.

  8. To use dynamic URL aliases so that the dashboard can be used with different ARIS Risk and Compliance hosts, remove the part preceding /arcm/api/query? in the URL. The URL would look like this, for example: /arcm/api/query?qname=riskdata&qlanguage=en&qsort=r_client,ASC.

  9. Enable URL alias and select the alias you previously created for ARIS Risk and Compliance (Application launcher Application launcher > Linked Icon_react_connect_N_small Administration > Configuration Configuration > Dashboards.) This dynamically adds the protocol, host name, and port to complete the URL.

  10. Click Open Settings.

  11. Enable Single sign-on to use the access privileges of the current user to access ARIS Risk and Compliance data.

    Alternatively, provide the login data of a specific ARIS Risk and Compliance user to be always used.

  12. Close the settings.

  13. Use the ARIS.database parameter in the Configure ARIS Table operator panel to display only objects from the currently selected database in ARIS.

    1. To do so, click the selection icon in the field behind the ARIS.database parameter.

    2. Click Select ARIS parameter, then click ARIS.database. The ARIS Risk and Compliance ARIS.database parameter is connected with the ARIS ARIS.database parameter.

  14. If the main object of the ARIS Risk and Compliance data request URL originates in ARIS, the ARIS.contextGUID parameter is available. You can use this parameter to display only objects with the GUID of the current ARIS object as context.

    1. To do so, click the selection icon in the field behind the ARIS.contextGUID parameter.

    2. Click Select ARIS parameter, then click ARIS.contextGUID.

  15. Click Enable/activate # tick # activate_item_16.png. The configuration is saved.

  16. Under Grid columns, click Add columns.

  17. Click Standard column.

  18. Click all column names you want to add to the grid.

  19. Click Done.

  20. Click Save.

  21. Provide a dashboard name.
