Use filters to support uniform modeling and accelerated evaluation for each tenant. Filters provide users with only the information and methods relevant to them.
You can quickly create filters based on a database that already contains the method contents you require. In this way, you create project-specific filters, for example, based on similar prior projects. You can then edit the filters and modify them to match project-specific requirements.
Prerequisite
You have the ARIS Enterprise Administration license privilege.
You have the Configuration administrator function privilege.
If you have created your own method items, such as models, objects, symbols, attributes, and connections, on a different tenant, make sure to import the method filter that contains these user-defined method items into this tenant.
Procedure
Click Application launcher >
Administration. The
Configuration view is shown.
Click Conventions.
Click Filters.
Next to Create filter, click
Menu > Generate from database.
Select the database that contains the required content.
Select the method filter to log into that database. Make sure that this filter contains the required method content. If you are not sure about the filter, use the Entire method filter. In this case, all items are included but only the items used in the database are added to the new filter.
Click Generate filter.
All attributes are displayed in the language with which you logged in.
Select all
that you use on this tenant.Use configuration languages to specify the names and descriptions of all items that are managed in the Configuration section for this tenant, such as method items, filters, templates, font formats, content type sets, and evaluation scripts.
The Configuration administrators create the set of configuration languages that are available on a tenant.
Enter the attribute values, such as Name and Description. You cannot edit the GUID that is set by the system.
Warning
You must enter all values in each language. If you do not enter the name and description in a language, users who log in with this language will not be able to find this filter because (Untitled) is displayed as the filter name.
Select the kind of filter that the filter is to be used for. You can select Method filter or Evaluation filter.
Select a metamodel if required. If you enable UML 2.5, all contained elements are permitted by the filter. Users can create UML diagrams using this filter.
Modify the filter to match specific requirements.
The filter is created.
Start ARIS Architect and assign the filter to users or user groups.
