What information can a report provide?

For each context, this page provides sample information that a report can return.

The information specified in the report is output depending on the item (context) for which you started the report and on your access and function privileges. Any information contained in the method filter you used when logging in is included. You can reduce the information to be output by applying evaluation filters.

ARIS provides a multitude of evaluation scripts that are organized in various categories. If you need additional evaluation scripts, you can create report output in the design view. If you are familiar with the JavaScript and ARIS Script programming languages, you can write your own report scripts or adapt copies of existing standard scripts.

Apart from the contexts mentioned here, you can access information of other contexts such as Group of the model or Models of the group.

Database context

If you start a report for a database, all saved information defined in the report is output. For example, the report output can answer the following questions:

  • What user groups and users exist in the database?

  • Which access and function privileges are assigned to the users and user groups?

  • In what languages can attributes be specified?

  • Which font formats are defined?

Context: Group

If you start a report for groups, all saved information that is defined in the report is output. For example, the report output can answer the following questions:

  • What subgroups are included in the group?

  • What models are included in each group?

  • What objects are defined in each group?

  • Which attributes are specified?

Context: Model

If you start a report for models, all saved information that is defined in the report is output. For example, the report output can answer the following questions:

  • Which functions are carried out in process A?

  • Which organizational elements are involved in process A?

  • Which functions are carried out by these organizational elements in process A?

  • Which application systems are used in process A?

  • What data or forms are required in process A?

Context: Object

If you start a report for objects, all saved information that is defined in the report is output. Contrary to model reports, the object information that is output does not relate to individual processes. For example, the report output can answer the following questions:

  • Which organizational element is responsible for which function?

  • Which functions are carried out by which organizational elements?

  • Which application systems are used?

  • Which functions are supported by particular application systems?

  • What data or forms are required?

Context: Filter

If you start a report for filters as an administrator, all saved information that is defined in the report is output. For example, the report output can answer the following questions:

  • Which model types are included in the filter?

  • Which model attribute types are included in the filter?

  • Which symbol types are included in the filter?

  • Which object attribute types are included in the filter?

  • Which assignments are included in the filter?

  • Which connection types are included in the filter?

  • Which connection attribute types are included in the filter?
