If you have the ARIS Enterprise Admin license privilege and the Configuration administrator function privilege, you can manage filters of a tenant. You can modify filters you created or default filters that come with ARIS. You cannot modify the content of the Entire method filter, which automatically contains all method items available on the related tenant. To make only method items available to users that are relevant for their work, you must first manage the global sets of model types, object types and connection types that are contained in a filter.
Then you must define how users can use these items:
?
You can modify the set attributes that users can specify for model objects.
Click Application launcher >
Administration > Conventions > Connection types.
Click the filter that you want to update. You cannot modify the content of the Entire method filter, which automatically contains all method items available on the related tenant.
Click Attributes > Object attributes. All object types that you added to the filter are listed.
Select the first object type and change the set of object attributes that users can
specify. Note that you must change the set of attributes for each allowed object type
in turn.
The Show only types assigned view displays all allowed and locked attributes.
Locked items are mandatory items. That means that you cannot remove or modify them.
Select the Show all view. All available attributes are listed.
Select the attributes that users can specify for objects.
Click Allow. In the Show only types allowed view, all selected attributes are listed and indicated as
