Learn how to export Ardoq workspace components to dictionaries in SAP Signavio

Written by Nathan Hope
Updated over 2 months ago

The SAP® Signavio Exporter integration allows you to:

  • Select, filter (optional), and export your Ardoq workspace components to dictionaries within SAP® Signavio

  • Create new dictionary categories in SAP® Signavio or select existing ones to export to

  • Add custom fields to components. Currently, the supported custom fields include:

    • Ardoq OID - a unique identifier associated with Ardoq component that will appear as an attribute of the newly created dictionary entry

    • Ardoq component URL - The URL linked to the component within Ardoq that will appear as an attribute of the newly created dictionary entry

Note: if there are other fields you may find valuable, please contact our team. We are interested in hearing what else could be of value to customers

Please note: The speed of the import is impacted by API volume constraints put in place by SAP® Signavio. Subsequent imports may run faster as we begin to only import components that have been updated.

  4. Next, map the Ardoq object identifier to a field such as "Ardoq OID"

  5. Map the Ardoq component URL to a field such as "Ardoq URL"

  6. Repeat the previous steps for any additional component types
