Digital Polarion Advent Calendar 2021
Christmas is coming again and this year we would like to say
THANK YOU
to all our customers, partners, users for a great year 2021!
Hereby we would like to give something back in the stressful pre-Christmas period and enchant you the month of December with small Polarion presents.
So be excited about the 1st of December and the following 23 days and open 24 Polarion Advent Calendar Doors with us.
Stay healthy.
Your Polarion and Partner Team
Please note: Due to the Advent calendar, we will not be running Polarion4U sessions in the month of December. We look forward to seeing you again for these sessions in January.
01.12: How to create your Christmas Wish List in Polarion
To create a Christmas Wish List please use the Active Questionnaire Widget from the Extension Portal.
How to install:
02.12: How to do a Behaviour Risk Assessment in Polarion
Would you also like to know how to get an overview of your risks before Christmas to ensure that all wishes come true? Then use the 30-days for free trial version of the Risk Sheet in Polarion (add-on) from Nextedy. Good luck!
03.12: How Santa uses Polarion to approve all Christmas Wishes
Have you ever wondered if Santa still uses pen and paper? As we saw in the first two doors, no. He collects all the wishes digitally, then does a risk assessment and finally he releases all the wishes digitally in his Santa workflow.
Also be curious how he works collaboratively with his little helpers.
If you have any further questions about Santa’s approach, we recommend that you clean your shoe until 06th of Decemember – maybe there’s a training session waiting in your shoe then.
But until then, feel free to take a look at the avaWorkflow template from our partner avasis.
04.12: How Santa uses Polarion Xcelerator Share to collaborate with his little Helpers
Now that Santa has released all the wishes digitally, he wants to share them with his little helpers digitally and ad-hoc. See how Santa does this with his little helpers via the new ad-hoc collaboration platform Xcelerator Share.
Curious? Check also this: Polarion with Xcelerator Share & Polarion with Xcelerator Share (Deep Dive)
And for further details get in touch with us!
05.12: How Santa can also collaborate with his little helpers via SharePoint
Upload LiveDocs from Polarion as PDF to Sharepoint
Quite often Santa needs to save a PDF version of LiveDoc in a Document Management System for Audit or to give access for many users to the published document.
This can be solved by using a Java extension. The extension is copied on file system of Polarion and configured for Workflow of each LiveDoc type. Garantis explains in a short video how Santa does it.
06.12: How Santa expands his knowledge about Polarion
Polarion On-demand Library free Access
Have you cleaned your Santa Claus shoes? If so, you’ll be happy to receive a free 30-days trial of Polarion On-demand Library. Take the chance and write an e-mail to susan.faust@siemens.com with your name and e-mail address on St. Nicholas Day (06.12).

07.12: How Santa uses HighCharts in Polarion
Our Santa Lionel will explain you how to integrate Highcharts into Polarion and has also some code snippet gifts for you.
08.12: How Santa adds an automatic list of document baselines to his LiveDocs
For proper document release management, Santa needs to quickly identify previous baselines. It’s then handy to have a document Wiki Content block that correctly lists all document baselines even when the document was moved or renamed in the past. For each baseline, the table includes the baseline name, a hyperlink to the document revision, the revision number (+ link to the LiveDoc Compare View), and the baseline time and date.
To get Santas Code please visit Santas Extension Portal.
09.12: How Santa manages the variability of his sleigh with Polarion Variants
Santa has a Sleigh with Reindeers and depending on where he travels, he wants to reconfigure his sleigh with different functionalities such as heating seats, song to be played on gramophone, reindeers to pull the sleigh and so on. For this, his Elves Engineers came up with a smart idea. They introduced Polarion Variants to easily configure his sleigh based on feature modelling. Get an overview of their systematic reuse approach in this 7 minute video, provided by pure systems.
10.12: How Santa exports all his attachments via the avasis Attachment ZIP Exporter
Export Work Item attachments with a single click as ZIP! This servlet creates a single zip file containing all attachments of Work Items that are part of a Polarion LiveDoc.
With this smart solution, Santa avasis ensures that all of the children’s handwritten wish lists are also exported digitally to the little helpers – with one click!

11.12: Santa offers an AI workshop for his little helpers
Santa always finds that his little helpers have a big question mark on their faces when it comes to the topic of AI, so artificial intelligence. That’s why he asked his partner Drimco to offer a 2-hour AI workshop in January. Are you also interested? Then be curious about the January event that will be part of the Polarion4U session.
Date and time will be published soon via the popular Polarion channels
12.12: How Santa keeps an overview of his Baselines in Polarion
Widget to display All Baselines in your Project (Project-level, Collection-level, Document-level)
In real project we use Baselines very often, to create markings/snapshots of the project data. Three types of baselines exist in Polarion: for Project, for Collection, for LiveDoc.
Problem: It is sometimes difficult to get a good overview of Who created When Which baseline, for Which revision.
Solution: Our widget will show all baselines on one page. You can use it as “index of baselines” to jump into each version, or you can use the report to analyse which revisions are used for each baseline and who created them.
Santa Garantis has provided you this widget for free and explains how to install.
13.12: How Santa tracks his Christmas Preparation

20.12: How Santa uses Save Hook Extensions in Polarion
Santa has been using Save Hooks in Polarion for a while but it was always missing the synchronization of field values between linked Work Items and he also would like to define regular expressions for one or multiple fields that need to be fulfilled for the Work Item to be saved. Therefore our Santa Kevin Schmiechen from Technical University of Munich has shared two new extensions on the extension portal:
