The next live session of our ARIS 10 webinar series is just around the corner: On October 30, 2018, you'll hear how you can achieve an enterprise-wide roll-out for your digital transformation.

In this session, Dr. Dominik Vanderhaeghen from ARIS Product Management at Software AG will show you:

• How to expose information to end-users,
• How to inform people on changes,
• How to establish change processes in the organization and
• How to measure success and activity.

The session lasts about 40 minutes, followed by a Q&A session. You can register for free and if you are interested but you cannot make it at that time, don't stress, the session will be recorded.

In my previous blog post, I showed  you how you can build your first dashboard. Before you start building dashboards, you have to prepare data that will be used to display required information. One of the options is to use a query as a data source. In this post, I will show you how to do that.

In ARIS Architect, go to “Analyses” and then to ”Queries”. On the top left, select the “New” icon and choose „Query“.

We are interested in processes, functions, and roles (this will be explained in another post, but for the moment, my goal is to build a dashboard which shows how many roles are involved in activities etc.). This means that as the starting point choose „EPC“. For that EPC, we want to have all the functions and roles.

Before you choose „Role“, click on „Function“ in your model, so that the role is displayed following the function. After you click on „Function“, the function will be displayed as start position. In case you don´t click the function, the role will be displayed under the function, following the EPC.

As dashboarding input the table view is necessary. Click the „Create table view“ icon on the toolbar.

In the first row, write activity and role as this is what we are interested in. Then drag and drop the definition item there. Also activity_Guid and role_Guid is needed. In the second row, choose “=queary_item_guid(A2)” for activity_Guid and “=queary_item_guid(B2)” for role_guid.

Save this query (ctrl+S) and name it ProcessActivityRole.

That is all that is needed to use it as a data source for a dashboard. What you can also do is select the template that you need and create a dashboard link.

Select the “Data” tab on the toolbar and then click „Generate dashboard link”. Select “Use the first row as a header” and click “Copy to clipboard”.

Now we are getting closer to use this query as a data source for our dashboard.

Go to ARIS Connect > Repository> Dashboards and Feeds> Data feeds and select the plus icon to create a new data feed. Creating a data feed makes it possible to combine various data sources or to use a data source for several widgets without creating the same definition again and again.

On the left side we can select various types of data sources. Choose ARIS table. As we haven´t created an ALIAS (I will show you how to do that in one of my next posts), you paste the URL you have copied to the clipboard before. In section “Manage” (on the right), choose “Save as”.

I named it “test Query”. You can also add some descriptions that might be useful for your better orientation later when you have more queries. When you have saved the data feed, it can be used as a data source for our dashboard (as shown in my previous post).

In my previous post I have shown you how to prepare query as a feed for your dashboard. To make it easier you can use ALIAS. In this post I will show you how to work with URL Alias. Use the Alias when you are using specific URL several times. That makes it much easier to work with the sources and to maintain the feeds.

How to do it:

Go to ARIS Connect/systemAdministration/Administration/configuration/dashboards

You have different possibilities to work with PPM connections or with URL alias. Using “+” icon on the right you can add some Alias or edit existing URL alias. You have protocol, host, port, and user – everything you need to create a new Alias.

Now go to ARIS Connect/Repository/Dashboards and Feeds/Feed. You need ARIS Table for queries and the results of the reports so you choose ARIS Table on the left side. Now, you already have URL alias.

Use query we have prepared last time. You paste in what you have copied to the clipboard. Remove the URL part as it is already available in the URL alias and continue preparing your data feed with adding some additional values.

After deleting the URL it will look like this:

Before you start creating a dashboard, you have to prepare data that will be used for the dashboard. You have several options for doing that. You either select a suitable report from the list of available reports or configure your own report according to your needs. Let´s have a look at how to prepare your report.

In case you have not downloaded ARIS Architect yet, you should do it now:

Log in to ARIS Connect, click the down arrow next to the user name, click "Download clients", and click the "Start" button next to "ARIS Architect/Designer". Next, save the jar file, click the "Download" icon in your browser, and run the jar file by double-clicking it. ARIS Launcher is started.

After you have logged in to ARIS Architect, click "ARIS" in the top left corner, and in the drop-down menu, click "Administration".

Now, go to Evaluations > Reports and click "Dashboard data".

Various reports are available for use here. To export item data to a table, right-click the report “Export item data to tables” and choose “Edit report parameters”.

In the section „Exported item type”, you can choose the parameters that you are interested in. To choose roles and activities that are involved in particular processes, choose Role, Activity, and Process.

Below, you can add further information to the selected item types that you are interested in.

On the left, a parameter value set is displayed. You can also add a new one if you want to, and you can also set output parameters. For this, two options are available: folder name and file name prefix. If you set the prefix “ProcessActivityRoles”, for example, this will be visible in the data storage and all the files will have the same prefix.

Click OK to save all settings. Now, schedule a report that you can later use to create a dashboard.

In ARIS Architect, click the "Explorer" tab and log in to the "United Motor Group" (UMG) database. On the right, double-click "Scheduled reports". The "Scheduled reports" option is now displayed in the navigation:

Right-click "Scheduled reports" and click "New"> "Create scheduled report". Alternatively, choose “New” in the menu at the top.

Enter a name for the report, e.g. test, enter the user name and password, and click "Next".

In the "Category" field, select "Dashboard data" and in the "Report" field, select “Export item data to tables” to run the export. Do not forget to select a parameter value set.

Next, select a database (in this case, United Motor Group), click "Next" and "Finish". Now, your report is displayed in the list of scheduled reports (in case you scheduled some reports before, there will also be others in the list).

To work with this report, right-click the database (UMG) and select “Evaluate” > “Start report”.

Choose the category “Dashboard data” and select “Export item data to tables” as the report type. Click "Next", choose a parameter value set, and then click „Finish”. It may take a while for the report to complete.

The report exports data from the system and saves it to ARIS document storage.

To look at these data, open ARIS Connect. Go to Repository > Documents > ARIS document storage > United Motor Group > launch training.

The data from your report is now available in the listed XML file(s) and can be used in the datafeeds.

BPMN is a global standard for modeling business processes. It is used by both business and IT to document processes but also to bring them to execution (process automation). BPMN 2.0 also consists of a XML-based standard exchange format to ensure an easy transport of BPMN models between tools with different scopes - i. e. business modeling leads technical implementation and back.

Sponsored by the OMG, the purpose of the BPMN Model Interchange Working Group (MIWG) is to support, facilitate, and promote the interchange of BPMN Models. One important task is to reach a common agreement on interpretations of the BPMN standard to ensure better interchange. With that background, they established a test suite to validate existing tools against that agreements. ARIS is one of only three tools that successfully submitted all models of the three different result groups, while strong capabilities for importing, exporting and roundtripping could be proved (http://bpmn-miwg.github.io/bpmn-miwg-tools/).

Next to that, ARIS participated in the this years OMG MIWG Live Interoperability Demo, which took place last night in Seattle. The demo focused on the smooth exchange of BPMN process diagrams between different tools. All in all, both, the demo and central evaluation underlines the strong capabilities of ARIS regarding the support of open standards from the OMG. As an early adopter, ARIS was also one the first tools, which supported the brand new DMN version 1.2 (beta) to ensure an integrated process and decision modeling with the corresponding exchange possibilities.

We were very happy to be part of that great demo and look forward to a continuation next year.

In one of my previous blog posts, I showed you how to prepare a dashboard including a pie chart. On your dashboard, you can have multiple fields to display various data, graphs, statistics, results, etc. To have an easy-to-read and well- organized dashboard, you can style it according to your preferences.

The first step is to create a dashboard (see my post "How to start your first dashboard").

To create a new layout field that will display your data, use “Layout group” on the left side.

You can expand layout groups over multiple columns and adjust the groups according to your needs. You can also add or delete rows inside a layout group. To do this, use the toolbar on the right side.

Once you have prepared an area and want to use the same settings in other groups, you can just copy the area using the toolbar. If you want every layout to look differently, you have to style every single one separately.

If you select the layout group, you have the possibility to select predefined styles in the configuration window, e.g., "Card-White". The "Card-White" style sets the background color of the layout group to white, for example.

Using the "Card-White" style also adds space between the layout groups (see the next picture).

Select a row in the layout group. You can use a marker style to mark headlines with specific colors. This improves the structure of your layout group. Click the row you want to style and choose the relevant marker style.

If you want to add text to your box, choose the "Rich text area" widget  and place it in your preferred area.

If you double click the area, you can write text and adjust it based on your needs (style, size, color, etc.). You can choose between various text styles.

You can style both the text and your widgets.

You can do the following to style the widget in your preferred way:

• You can change the color of your graph (I chose "Colorful").
• By changing the value of the "Inner radius" option, you can change the size of the inner (white) circle.
• You can decide how a value is to be displayed. Available options are "Partition", "Absolute", and "Percentage". If you use "Absolute" or "Percentage" for displaying a value, it is recommended that you add a legend to your widget. The legend can be displayed beside, below, or above the pie chart..
• You can hide header and border
• ….

For different layouts you can use a different data display (graphs, grids, numbers, pictures, text, etc.) depending on the information you want to display (just drag the option you choose on the left side and drop it where you want). For styling, you can also use the toolbar that is displayed after you click (left or right) the object you want to style. The final dashboard might look like this, for example:

Our new ARIS 10 postcard series is designed to make you smile and to communicate the value of your daily BPM practice across your company. You can choose your favorite ARIS postcard and email it together with a personal message straight away to your colleagues and ARIS friends in the world.

There are nine new postcards, depicting a mix of an interesting and funny fact about ARIS. Each postcard comes with three stories: the graphic, the message and its transporting data. And, of course, the most important of all: the emotion that it carries with the words you send along.

Just in case that you haven't sent all your seasons's greetings yet: there are even more postcards in our eCard library to choose from. Send your BPM eCards now!

Let me conclude this post by wishing you HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Saarbruecken and all the best for the upcoming year. Looking forward to 2019 - and I can tell you that there is so much more to come...

P.S.: Have a look at our e-cards; you may want to use them to send your season`s greetings. All our e-cards can be found here!

Today, I want to show you how you can assign dashboards you have created to different areas in ARIS Connect.

The first area is “Home”. This area is suitable only for dashboards that are not context-sensitive and usually shows general/overall information. If you have configured multiple dashboards, you can switch between dashboards in the tab bar above the dashboard.

There are three areas where it is possible to connect dashboards with ARIS data in a context-sensitive way: the “Overview”, “Diagram”, and “Dashboard” tabs.

One option for showing a dashboard is the side-by-side view where you show the model on one side and the dashboard data on the other. You can use this functionality to obtain context-sensitive information. Clicking a single object enables you to view information on that specific object only. Please note that this works only if you have specified during dashboard creation that your dashboard will be context-sensitive.

How to configure a dashboard for the “Home” area

In ARIS Connect, go to Administration > Configuration > Portal > Manage configuration sets.

Choose one of the sets and click the “Edit” icon at the end of the row. Then choose the “Home” tab and select “Dashboards” as the component. Click the “Edit” icon at the end of the row again.

Click the “Add” button in the dialog that opens. In the "Name" field, you have to specify a default language and at least one more language, for example, English. You can choose whether you want to configure the dashboard for all available databases or for a specific one only. Select the relevant dashboard and click “Add”. Your dashboard is then displayed in the list of dashboards.

How to configure a dashboard for other areas

Choose the “Fact sheets” tab in the selected modification set.  From the list displayed, choose the item which you want to configure your dashboard and click the “Edit” icon at the end of the row.

The other areas where you can configure a dashboard are displayed: “Dashboards”, “Diagram”, and “Overview”.

Choose, for example, “Dashboards”, and click the “Edit” icon at the end of the row. On this page, you can add, remove, or edit dashboards. You can do the same for the areas “Overview” or “Diagram”.

If you choose to configure a new dashboard, click the “Add” button. A dialog will open and you have to enter the name (at least in 2 languages), select the databases, and select the relevant dashboard.

Click “Add”. Your dashboard is now displayed in the list of dashboards.

When you exit the "Administration" area and go to the factsheet where you configured the dashboard, you can see that your dashboard was added as a new tab.

If there is just ONE single thing ARIS is famous for : then it's the so-called EPC.

*** Raise your hand if you do not know the EPC ***

EPC stands for event-driven process chain and is one of the central modeling notation in ARIS. It integrates all relevant business perspectives, describes processes in detail on a procedural level and is embedded in the overall ARIS process landscape.

Still EPC is a very comprehensive modeling notation and requires an overview to get the most out of it. That's why we created an EPC cheat sheet.

The EPC cheat sheet includes:

- overview on the EPC core elements

- additional extended elements that are traditionally used to detail the pure process flow

So get your free cheat sheet copy today! Click on the picture to enlarge it and download the pdf document.

ARIS Connect has been born a few years ago and the journey since then has been dramatically positive and exciting. For those of you who don’t know ARIS Connect yet:

ARIS Connect is being used to help companies, universities and other organizations to build the solid and sustainable foundation of their digital future. Enterprise Management Systems (EMS) are built based on ARIS Connect to move away from error-prone and outdated paper documentations and too many unconnected IT systems in place. Employees get confused when they try to find information to get their job done. Hence, ARIS Connect is establishing a single source of truth available for every employee. A one-stop-shop to find everything you need to find – documents, operating procedures & business process descriptions telling how companies collaborate internally and externally. ARIS Connect is – as of today – being used across >1,000 companies with more than 10,000,000 end-users and we believe in much more to come. Well-known customers like Philips or Vodafone (also watch this webinar by Vodafone) trust in ARIS Connect and we are very excited about that.

If you are new to ARIS Connect or don’t see yourself as an expert, here is a short 4 minutes video that gives you an idea of what ARIS Connect can do for you.

But there is so much more to explore, let’s highlight a few:

1. ARIS Connect Designer: The great and newly redefined User Experience (UX) in designing processes, strategies, organizations and much, much more.
2. ARIS Connect Contribution: The ability to let literally everyone – really everyone (!) in the company – contribute to the single source of truth in a way that is easy to understand without the need to understand process modeling in detail or at all.
3. ARIS Aware: The amazing possibility to combine the world how it is with operational KPIs and the world how it is supposed to be (processes, policies, operating procedures).
4. Self-Service and expert (XML-based) configuration: There are various capabilities of configuration options for the product e.g. like adding your own plug-ins and apps or doing changes in the configuration via User Interface (UI) or via XML; you can run configurations from simple to expert

You can get ARIS Connect in the cloud and on-premises. Contact us @ Software AG if you want to find out more, if you’re seeking for ARIS in the cloud visit http://www.ariscloud.com. The ARIS team is waiting for you!

During the webinar our experts from ARIS Product Management will be on hand to demonstrate the latest features and to answer any questions you may have. Don’t miss it! If you can't make it on April 16th, make sure to register in order to get the recording afterwards.

Whatever the topic, whatever the platform, ARIS is THE tool of choice as it supports all kind of business modeling and contents you may need. We have prepared a short review for your reuse and links to Very Useful Materials!   Enjoy!

• Starting with the classical EPC - event-driven process chain– as one of the central modeling notation in ARIS, ARIS integrates all relevant business perspectives, describes processes in detail on a procedural level and is of course embedded in the overall ARIS process landscape. Review our EPC cheat sheet to get a full overview on the notation. Download your copy of the ARIS EPC cheat sheet and do not hesitate to share with nice colleagues or to print it for your own review!

• BPMN  2.0 is just one step away and is much appreciated in many countries and projects for itsstrong capabilities for importing, exporting and roundtripping. Of course ARIS supports the BPMN 2.0 standards. But BPMN 2.0 in ARIS is unique as ARIS extends the standard with the business perspective and that what makes it so powerful. ARIS has successfully submitted the entire test suite of the BPMN Model Interchange Working Group (MIWG) with great results. Want to have more insights? Review the BPMN 2.0 in ARIS cheat sheet and the detailed TECHniques BPMN 2.0 in ARIS article.
   
  
• By the way ARIS doesn't stop with BPMN 2.0 but enforces other standards. ARIS is an early adopter of the DMN 1.2b standard and supports it since October 2018 on. This means that you are able to combine BPMN 2.0 diagrams with DMN decision models in ARIS.
• Still not enough modeling areas? Leading an SAP projects and setting on process-driven thinking? ARIS for SAP Solutions offers you exactly the right tools and objects to make sure your SAP project will drive to success. Learn more on click here. Cheat Sheet in the making :-)
• Just in case you didn’t know – of course you can also describe processes from the customer perspective. Our Customer Journey Mapping capabilities offer several model types so that you can put customer at the heart of your business!
• If course we are always adapting and extendingthe ARIS methodology depending on new topics play a role for business processes – that’s the case for IoT and RPA two “trends”  that do impact on business process design
  • Combine business processes with the technical IoT design? Of  course! IoT-driven business transformation offers a methodology for designing and managing new IoT objects in dedicated model types. In addition, IoT objects can be imported directly from Cumulocity, Software AG’s cloud-based IoT device integration platform. Alternatively, IoT objects can be defined in ARIS both in their technical context—including sensor and actuator components, data protocols and device connectivity—and business context—with risks and business events. Want to learn more, check our factsheet on IoT driven process design
  • RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is an important technology for the digital transformation. Managing robots is key for scaling automation up and raising synergies between business units. The newest version of ARIS 10 SR8 – planned for April 16th - comes with an innovative approach to describe RPA enabled processes and activities as well as the robots itself and connect them to the existing process landscape – no matter if you use BPMN or EPC.

And OMG - we did not even mention Enterprise Architecture or GRC!!!!!

Freedom as a Model <3

PS: there are many more ways to transform Freedom as a Service to ARIS – so stay tuned!

Are you a process designer? Then you know the differences between a good and a bad process design. Of course, the way how an organization operates is key – the process must be efficient, effective and should be continuously improved.  But it is also important to describe it in a way to be easily understood by its consumers (viewer). This is the reason, why process designer spent a significant amount of time in layouting and beautifying models.

Smart Modeling as part of the next ARIS release (version 10 SR8), is not less than a game changer for your daily modeling work. It lets you focus on describingthe content instead of layouting it. The idea is to know what is necessary in the actual modeling situation, simplify the interaction patterns, learn from what YOU are doing and, in best case, do the layouting work on your behalf.

A few examples how this is achieved:

1. Intelligent insertion & deletion: You want to add an object in the middle of the flow? No problem, just drop it on the existing connection. ARIS will automatically create the required space, remove the old connection and create the required new ones. Nothing else to do.
2. Smart object positioning: A typical situation - you want to add a new object that is connected to an existing one, either above, below, left or right. Now this is done by a simple click – everything will be arranged automatically
3. Learning hotspot bar: The system remembers the symbols you frequently use and automatically offers them while you are modeling. An individual configuration of the hotspot bar is of course possible as well.
4. One-click connections: Drawing and layouting connections are easier than ever before. Click on the side where a connection should leave an object and drop where it should end. Thats all – a correctly layouted connection with just one click.

Have a look at how this behaves for your favorite modeling notation – EPC or BPMN. Not only that, Smart Modeling is available for ALL standard notations in ARIS. Enjoy!

Smart Modeling - BPMN

Smart Modeling - EPC

Isn’t it just frustrating to spend hours on searching for information without actually finding it? We considered this question and asked ourselves: Is it possible to quickly find webinars, videos, cheat sheets, and much more on ARIS Community?

Well, to be honest, the answer to this question came faster than the search results.

So, we spent some time thinking about how to better support you in getting the right information at the right place.

As a result of these considerations, we have developed an entirely new know-how area. This is your new place to go to find helpful resources (such as videos and webinars) that deal with ARIS and Business Process Management.

What has changed?

The main navigation was changed. It no longer provides the "Help" and "Tutorials" entries, but a new entry called "Know-how":

Use this entry and find a variety of topics of interest that we arranged in sections (such as "Design" or "Process Mining") to make it easier for you to find the content you are looking for.

Each section contains:

• webinars,
• videos,
• quick videos,
• blog posts… and much more!

Now, go ahead and check out our new know-how area! Should you encounter any problems or miss an important topic, please let us know!
