We are configuring ARIS Connect, including its start page. What are the key considerations from your experience? Do you have any must-have configurations to recommend? Any tips to simplify our process are appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Olaf,
We have a custom config and mod set- that offers greater flexibility. However, whenever there are release updates there is always something which doesn't work any longer and which needs to be adapted. So, maybe for the start, the standard functionality is sufficient...? :)
I would take the following into consideration:
- What are the language requirements (which languages must be available for modelling and for the GUI)?
- Do you have a start model that you want to show on the welcome page?
- Do you have a logo that you want to show next to the Ritter Sport Menu (aka App launcher) in the upper left corner?
-
Which quick links should be shown? Do you have any e.g. any external references? E.g.:
4.1. we have a link to our BPM community page referenced
4.2. we have a link to our convention handbook and our convention database referenced (we are moving the handbook content into a separate database)
- Do you have any links to dashboards (e.g.: glossaries) that are of value to your users?
- I like the favorites section (although it is a pity that you cannot indicate favorites in edit mode; however, you can vote for this idea: Add "Add to favorites" in edit mode | Share your ideas)
- Do you want ppl to see the recent changes?
- What are your CI colors?
Best,
Veronika

Hi,
It all depends on your key stakeholders' paths and usage scenarios.I think corporate colors and logos are' must-haves'.
We usually display a high-level architecture or high-level process model on the main page. In addition, there are some key documents like the Modeling Convention, Quick Ref card, Training, Videos, etc.
For 2nd level pages, we usually organize model observation tabs, making a Diagram tab in the first place (by default, you have a Details tab) and switching off all the useless stuff. The key strategy here (especially if your portal users have a very initial experience) is to make everything straightforward.

Hi
Also I have seeing several customer using Dashboards in main Page and Quick links for their internal pages like external documentation/forms etc...

Hi all,
I have added a section about corporate colour - good hint. I also agree that the Diagram tab should be the default tab.
I do not know yet what the really useful staff will be. I tend to put in rather more and than to strip the things where I see after tests not big value in.
Dashboards will come later. I am not that far yet. This still needs to be integrated. Thank you for your comments so far.
To this post I attach my document I specified my requirements so far. Maybe helpful for other - or any thoughts around that. I removed any confidential information from the document - might appear here or there something missing.

Hello Olaf,
one important decision from the start is to select the right Connect basic configuration set for your modifications and Content Type config:
classic offers a navigation for Connect Viewers through the database groups,
default shows the process hierarchy (assignments) on the left hand navigation bar.If you like we could continue our discussion from the user day in Munich together with Christiane. I will send you a Teams invitation.
Regards, Martin
