Assign a new model

You can assign a new model to objects if an existing model that specifies an ArchiMate® element in more detail is not (yet) available. The assignment enables you to use a model to describe objects in more detail.

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. You can now start modeling the detailed specification for this ArchiMate® element.
