Create scripts

You can create various scripts using the Script Wizard on the 'Administration' tab. You can then write the scripts in Script Editor (code view). If you are not familiar with JavaScript, you can create simple report scripts in design view.

Prerequisite

You have Administrator privileges.

ARIS is supplied with numerous standard scripts. We generally recommend documenting all changes to scripts externally so that the documentation can be used to ensure that they are incorporated correctly during the update process.

Reports/Macros/Report templates and files

Do not make any changes to the standard scripts we supply. Always adapt copies of report, macro, and JS files, and any other files. There are exceptions, for example, the file atsall<language code>.js.

Semantic checks

We recommend creating custom rule types and custom profiles for semantic checks, in which the ARIS standard rule types and rules are referenced.

This is not possible for configurable rule types (relationship attribute rules, model attribute rules, object attribute rules, existence rules, and allocation rules). If you have added rules to these rule types, you must export the rule types before the update and then import them after the update.
