You can specify groups whose objects are to be excluded from variant creation if variants are created for models that contain objects from these groups. You can determine the setting to be valid for ARIS Connect or for ARIS Connect and ARIS Architect.
Procedure
Click ARIS > Explorer. The Explorer tab opens.
Log in to the relevant database.
Right-click the database name and then click Properties. The dialog opens.
Click Variant management.
Click Add. The Exclude groups dialog opens.
Select the group you want to exclude from variant creation and click OK. The dialog closes and the selected group is listed in the Variant management page.
Repeat the steps to exclude other groups. The selected exclusion groups are considered in ARIS Connect.
If you want the objects of the selected groups to also be excluded in ARIS Architect when creating model variants, enable the check box Consider exclusion groups in ARIS Architect. In this case, you cannot specify in ARIS Architect for which object an existing variant should be used and for which object a new variant or occurrence copy should be created.
You have specified groups whose objects are to be excluded from variant creation if variants are created for models that contain objects from these groups.
