ARIS can import all ArchiMate® elements and viewpoints listed in the ArchiMate® specification out of the box. Derived elements and custom viewpoints must be configured upfront; else they will lead to a warning during import of the AMEFF file.
Prerequisites
You are logged in to ARIS Architect with Configuration Administrator function privileges for this tenant.
You have selected the appropriate perspective in the Perspective Wizard so that all relevant folders are displayed on the Administration tab.
You have selected the Configuration & Administration working environment in the Perspective Wizard.
You have the required privileges for the different tasks. The various privileges are listed in the procedure descriptions below.
In the navigation, click Configuration >Conventions > Import/Export > Archimate.
Here you can configure the ArchiMate mappings for Languages, Property definitions, and Viewpoints. Optionally, to export an ArchiMate mapping configuration to another ARIS tenant:
Select ArchiMate > Export ArchiMate mappings.
If you want to import an ArchiMate mapping configuration from another ARIS tenant, select ArchiMate > Import ArchiMate mappings.
ARIS is prepared to map custom names of Languages, Property definitions and Viewpoints to pre-existing elements in the ARIS Configuration during import of ArchiMate Model Exchange File Format (AMEFF) files.
Note
Languages, attributes types or model types have to be available in the ARIS configuration before they can be mapped.
