Depending on whether or not positioning and/or dimensioning attributes of objects are specified, objects inserted into the time column are handled differently.
The values are not specified
If the processing time of objects is not specified, it is set to the default value. The default value is determined by ARIS Method and takes any model template settings into account. This means that objects are not usually aligned with the sub-grid. Example: If the sub-grid displays days, the initial processing time of objects does not normally correspond to precisely one day, but to a random part or an odd multiple. However, the dimensioning attribute is taken into account correctly: If the dimensioning attribute specifies days as the smallest unit and the object size is 2.75 days, the default value is rounded up to 3 days.
If the value of the start attribute is not specified, it is set when placing the object.
The values are specified
If the value of the start attribute is specified, the placement location does not usually correspond to the value of the start attribute. In this case, a dialog appears to query whether the start attribute should be adjusted. If you answer No, it may be that the object is not visible because it is placed outside the time column border due to the attribute values.
If the processing time of objects is specified, its value is not adjusted.
