Reports

A report is a script that can be applied to similar database content. You can use a report, for example, to collect database content and group it according to specific aspects, output the relationships between database elements, generate comparison tables, or display multiple uses of database items. You can also use reports to change database content, such as entering attribute values or correcting the layout of models.

You can generate reports in the repository or in the modeling component for the selected objects or the open model.

ARIS is supplied with numerous standard scripts. Authorized ARIS users can analyze and process data using scripts that you provide. The package and license that you have purchased will determine the range of reports available to you.

If you have the Admin role and the Script administrator function privilege, you can perform basic script management in ARIS Administration. If you are familiar with the JavaScript and ARIS Script programming languages, you can edit or write your own scrips using the related API for ARIS reports and macros.

To manage reports in ARIS Administration, click Application launcher Application launcher > Administration Administration > Evaluations and select Reports. If you modify scripts, always make the changes in copies of standard scripts and files. When updating ARIS, all ARIS standard scripts and files are overwritten and customer-specific changes to these files are discarded. Copied scripts and files and those you have created yourself are not overwritten.
