Use filters to support uniform modeling and accelerated evaluation for each tenant. Filters provide users with only the information and methods relevant to them. If you log in using a specific method filter and create a model, for example, only the model types relevant to your work are offered to you for selection. You can use only the objects, symbols, attributes, models, and connections permitted in the model.
Use the filter to find a list entry. Configuration administrators manage filters:
Method filters
A method filter contains a subset of ARIS Method, which the configuration administrator can define for specific users and user groups, or for a specific task. To have access to user-defined method extensions, you must assign the extensions to a filter. When modeling, all object, connection, and attribute types are available for the model type that are contained in the method filter. Thus, the content offered to users is exactly the content they need to perform their tasks.
Evaluation filters
An evaluation filter reduces the number of database elements to be analyzed. For example, when you run a report, you can restrict the method content for evaluation by using an evaluation filter. The method content is restricted to the content that is activated in both the method filter you used when logging in to the database and the evaluation filter you selected. The advantage of evaluation filters is that the running time of a report is reduced and that only relevant content is included in comprehensive processes.
On the Filters page, you can find all filters that are available to users of this tenant. Use the filter to find a list entry. The table contains the following columns. If you click a header, the column entries are sorted.
