Assign a new model

You can assign a new model to objects. The assignment enables you to use a model to describe objects in more detail.

Depending on the method, either no occurrence copy or an occurrence copy of the object to which the model is assigned is automatically created in the assigned model.

Procedure

  1. Right-click an object and select New > Create assignment Assignment.
    If you are using a license covering ARIS UML Designer, the Create assignment dialog opens. Click ARIS model. The Assignment Wizard opens and the New model option is enabled.
    The model types that can be assigned to the selected model in compliance with the method are available for selection.
  2. Select the required model type.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Select the group in which you want to save the new model.
  5. Click Finish.

The new model is opened and has the name of the object to which it is assigned.

Example

If a function allocation diagram is assigned to a function, the function is created in the function allocation diagram as an occurrence copy because the model describes the function in more detail. On the other hand, if a model of the EPC type is assigned to a function, the function is not created in the new model as an occurrence copy because the model of the EPC type reflects the function with a higher level of detail.
