Place annotation

You can use the modeling toolbar to place a symbol of the Annotation type in the model window.

In ARIS, you cannot model a connection to or from a connection. ARIS Method uses a fixed set of attributes of the Annotation type to represent such a construct at ARIS connection definitions.

Procedure

  1. Open a BPMN diagram.
  2. Click the connection for which you want to model an annotation.
  3. In the Symbols bar, click the Text annotation symbol.
  4. Click the position in the model window where you want to place the object. Lines indicate the alignment of the moving object to the placed objects and arrows indicate the distances.
  5. Enter the relevant name.
  6. Click outside the object once you have entered or selected a name.

If you set a grid, the object symbol will be placed according to the grid width.

Tip

You can also place the annotation directly on the connection. In this case, you do not have to select it.
