Applied templates

If you have the ARIS Enterprise Administration license privilege and the Configuration administrator function privilege, you can apply templates to model types. If a model of this type is created or imported from ARIS Express, the applied template is used automatically.

To open the Assigned templates page, click Application launcher Application launcher > Administration Administration > Configuration Configuration > Conventions > Applied templates.

If you get a message that model types are currently not available, this indicates that other licenses with additional elements are available in ARIS Architect. However, you can use the templates in ARIS as well as in ARIS Architect. But you can only apply templates to certain model types in ARIS Architect.
