Configure matrix

In the Matrix module, you can create matrices of one or several models. This allows you to examine various aspects of object relations. You can configure the selection of available aspects, the objects (object families) used in aspects, and the graphical representation.

The following configuration files control matrix functions and layout:

File

Description

aspect_matrix.xml

Defines the object types included in the aspects. Please refer to the Method help (Help/Method help) for the API names of object types.

connectionTypeFamilies.xml

Defines connection families that are included in aspects.

templates.xml

Defines the model and connection types included in aspects. Similar connection types are grouped into families. The families are defined in the file connectionTypeFamilies.xml.

If you change the configuration file, please note the XML structure. Please use the default layout of the matrix as a guide.

We recommend that you ask ARIS Customized Solutions to change your configuration.
