You can add relations. Relations include connections, implicit connections, implicit relationships, as well as assignments, and variant relationships. Therefore, the term relation is a superordinate term for all links that can exist between objects and models.

Click the object to which you want to add a relation.
Scroll to the relevant property group.
Click Create property.
Select Add relation. The dialog opens.
Enter identifier, name, and language. The identifier must be unique only for this content type. For example, you can have two object content types and both can have a property with identifier desc. For each language, enter the name of the element that it is to be displayed. At least one language must be maintained.
In the View section, specify the configuration for the portal.
You can add and remove content types. To add content types, click Add content type. Select the target content types for the relations. To remove a content type, click
Delete.
Optional: Enable Target object types refinement.
You can add or remove object types. To add object types, click Add object types. To delete an object type, click
Delete.
In the Type section, specify whether you want to consider objects on definition level, objects that have occurrences in a model or in assignments. If you select Occurrences in assignments, you must select the model type in which the assignments exist.
You can add and remove connection types. You must add at least one connection. To
add connections types, click Add connection types. Select the connection types for the relation. To remove a connection type, click
Delete. The Details of configured relations displays the connections that are allowed according to the ARIS method at the definition level.
Optional: For connections that can be both an incoming and an outgoing connection, you can restrict the direction.
Optional: Enable Symbol type restrictions. If you enable Symbol type restrictions, you can restrict the object types to specific symbols. You can enable that only the selected symbol is used or that all other symbols are used.
You can add and remove symbols.
In the Edit section, specify the subset of settings that are used by ARIS Designer to display and edit the related content on the Connected objects tab of the property panel or ARIS Designer to display and edit the related content in the property panel. The same applies to Contribution in the portal.
In the Type section, specify whether you want to consider objects on definition level, occurrences in a model or in assignments. The available options depend on the settings you defined in the View section. You can enable only one option. If you select Occurrences in assignments, you must select the model type in which the assignments exist. If you already selected a model in the View section, you cannot select a model for assignments.
If you want to disable the Edit settings, enable the Read-only option.
Select all source and target object that have a connection for use in ARIS Designer or ARIS Designer or for Contribution.
Optional: Specify the symbol types for creation in ARIS Designer or ARIS Designer. The symbol list contains a subset of the symbols specified in the View section or the symbols specified for the target content types.
Optional: Specify the symbol type for creation in Contribution.
Optional: Specify the assignment settings. The settings in this section are used only by Contribution and not by ARIS Designer or ARIS Designer.
Specify the language, model name, and group for models. You can include the expression ${name} if you want to use the object name in a model name for the assignment. Example: My object ${name} assignment.
Enter the group path and select the language. The path of the group within the main group is specified. In the following example, a group named Contribution containing another group named My assigned models is created in the main group: Contribution/My assigned models.
If you enable the Relative path option, the assigned model is generated in the group of the object for which you created an assignment in a subgroup with the specified name.
Click Save.
You have added the relation.
