Configuration Assistant for Archer Administrators
by Brikks Configuration Inc.
Overview
Brikks Configuration Automation extends Archer’s configurability by enabling administrators to create and modify applications, fields, layouts, relationships, workflows, notifications, reports, and access controls using natural language-driven automation executed through the Archer user interface.
Organizations implementing Archer often face configuration bottlenecks due to limited administrative capacity, complex data models, and the manual effort required to build and maintain solutions across development environments. These challenges can slow implementation timelines, increase configuration inconsistencies, and create dependencies on specialized resources.
Brikks addresses these challenges by acting as a front-end configuration layer for Archer. It automates common and repeatable configuration tasks while preserving Archer’s native governance, role-based access controls, and change management processes. The offering is designed for use in non-production environments and operates without direct database access or backend API integration.
Practitioners using this offering should be familiar with Archer application design concepts, including applications, fields, layouts, workflows, and permissions, as well as standard development and promotion practices within Archer environments.
