Manage plugins

A plugin is a software extension or an optional module that adds functionality to ARIS. Plugins cannot run without the main software they are integrated in.

As a ARIS administrator, you customize the plugins. If you want to use plugins in ARIS, you need extended configuration sets with plugins enabled that you cannot configure in ARIS Administration, please contact ARIS Support.

Plugins used together with ARIS must be written in Java Script and must have a valid signature. This signature is generated by SAG ARIS GmbH and must be copied to the server.
