Run semantic checks

You can use semantic checks to ensure correct modeling in ARIS. Your models are checked using the defined rules. These rules ensure that your business process models are logically structured in ARIS and are meaningful. Only models such as these can produce meaningful and correct analysis results in further work and be used to help make decisions.

After modeling, check whether the conventions were observed. The Semantic Check Wizard helps you select rules.

The output log will support the selective correction of your models, thus saving you a considerable amount of time and money. Some rules insert information marks where there are errors in models. You can define how the evaluation is displayed using the Semantic Check Wizard.

In addition, you can specify your own conventions, create the corresponding rules, and check your models with these rules. You require knowledge of ARIS Method and of the JavaScript and ARIS Script programming languages. This also enables you to adapt copies of existing standard scripts.

Before starting a semantic check, find out about rule types and rule groups.

You can define a macro (without having programming knowledge) that runs a semantic check when models are saved, for example.

Using ARIS Connect, semantic checks can be run for selected content or the content of a group in the repository or for an opened model and its objects in ARIS Connect Designer. The Semantic check is executed and the result is displayed. Errors, warnings, and notes are listed in the Semantic checks bar and the corresponding objects are marked by error, warning, and note markers in the model. These markers and text messages to be displayed in case of rule violations are defined in ARIS Architect.
