The navigation carousel is a modern type of navigation. Users of exports use it to navigate to the models based on aspects. The symbols allow you to open assigned start models.
To display the navigation carousel in the Home module of exports, model it in a structuring model. In the demo database, the start model is adapted for this purpose.
Prerequisite
You have the Writeaccess privilege for the groups in which the model and objects are managed.
The attribute value is specified exactly as provided here.
Either the objects have a model assigned, or the system attribute Link 1 is uniquely specified.
If you specify links, they need to be included in your profile.
If several models are assigned to an object, the first assignment is always used.
If assignments and links are specified, only the assignment is used.
If several links are specified, only Link 1 is used.
Procedure
In the Explorer tree, right-click the structuring model, and select Attributes. This example uses the start model of the demo database.
Ensure that the value AOEM is specified for the Remark/Example attribute. As a result, this structuring model is used as the basis of the navigation carousel.
Open a structuring model, and select the objects that you want to use in the carousel.
Press F8. Attribute Editing opens. All attributes of the selected objects are displayed side by side in the language you used to log in. If you click the Select language button, you can display additional languages in Attribute Editing to specify the values in several languages at the same time.
For each object, set the Remark/Example attribute in each language to the assigned attribute value in English.
A specific value is assigned to each symbol intended for display in the carousel:
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value Product/Service.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value Risk.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value Continuity.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value World.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value Processes.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value Business strategy.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value IT portfolio.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value Compliance.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value Organization.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value Data management.
This symbol is displayed if you specify the value Roles.
The objects are only displayed if the values are specified exactly as they are provided here and without spaces and line breaks.
Ensure that each object has a model assigned. This model opens when users click the corresponding carousel symbol. If no model is assigned, specify the system attribute Link 1 for the relevant link.
Make sure that the configuration file <ARIS installation directory>\ARIS10.0\server\bin\work\work_businesspublisher_<s, m or l>\base\webapps\businesspublisher\layouts\default\config\aspectOrientedEntry.cfg.xml is configured in such a way that the modeled structuring model is evaluated. This setting is selected by default. You do not have to customize this file unless it has been changed after installation.
Once you have performed a Publisher export of this database, the navigation carousel is displayed on the Home page.
Tip
You can also offer the navigation carousel without a structuring model. Software AG or the sales partner responsible will be pleased to help you with the implementation.
