You can insert texts at any positions in the modeling area.
Warning
Free-form texts are not saved in groups and are thus not protected by access privileges for groups. Therefore, it is possible to have reports output the free-form texts of models for which the person running the report does not have read privileges. Therefore, remember not to include confidential information in free-form texts but to use model and object attributes for that.
Procedure
Activate the Insert tab bar.
Click Free-form text. When you drag the mouse pointer onto the model background, an icon is added to the
pointer:
Click the position in the modeling area where you want to place the text. A text box opens, in which you can make your entry.
Click next to the text box to finish the input.
Your text is displayed in the model and you can place it anywhere.
Tip
Under ARIS > Options > Model > General > Objects, you can specify whether you want to use the Enter key for line breaks or for ending the input.
