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.
You can specify additional rule type property settings, such as Finding type and Severity. These settings will only affect semantic checks run in ARIS Connect.
ARIS is supplied with numerous standard semantic checks. 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.
If you want to create custom semantic checks based on standard semantic checks, make changes to copies. Standard scripts and JS files are overwritten each time the program is updated. Any changes to original files are lost. We recommend creating custom rule types and custom profiles for semantic checks, in which the ARIS standard rule types and rules are referenced.
This is not possible for configurable rule types (relationship attribute rules, model attribute rules, object attribute rules, existence rules, and allocation rules). If you have added rules to these rule types, you must export the rule types before the update and then import them after the update.
