With the ARIS Method defined in ARIS, configuration administrators ensure that only the defined method items are available for users. Detailed information on method items is available in the ARIS Method help. No method help is available for user-defined, derived, and customized types.
By default, a tenant uses the items defined in ARIS Method. If you have the ARIS Enterprise Admin license privilege and the Configuration administrator function privilege, you can customize the set of objects, symbols, attributes, models, and connections so that these sets are available in all databases of a tenant. Therefore, you must assign the method extensions, such as attribute types, to other items like model types, and allow them to be used in filters. You can to the default version any time.
Click Application launcher >
Administration > Conventions.
Click any method item, such as Model types.
Click Restore ARIS Method.
Warning
All user-defined and customized method items are deleted and replaced by default ARIS Method items. Make sure that you exported method filters containing customized method items before you proceed. Then you can restore customized method items by importing the filters again.
Click Restore.
Only method items that are contained in the default ARIS Method are available on this tenant.
You can make method extensions available to databases on another tenant by
method filters and transferring the method extensions during the subsequent filter . To continue using user-defined or customized method items from previous ARIS versions, you must import the previous filters that contain all user-defined and customized items. These items are created and thus become visible only due to the filter import. You must restore the databases of previous versions on your current tenant after the filter import.You can back up filters to filter export files (.filter). Use the files to deliver all contained method extensions from one tenant to another or to overwrite the current content of a related filter.
Click Application launcher >
Administration > Conventions > Filters.
Select the filter that you want to save and click
Export.
The file is saved according to the settings specified in your browser.
You can use the filter back up file to import the filter to another tenant or to restore a filter.
You can import filters from filter export files (.filter). These files are automatically created when you export a filter.
Click Application launcher >
Administration > Conventions > Filters.
Check whether the filter already exists. If you do not want to overwrite its content, duplicate the current filter and start the import again.
Click Import, select or drop the filter export file, and click Import.
If a filter with the same GUID already exists in a tenant, the current filter will be overwritten. To prevent overwriting a filter, first duplicate the current filter and then import the older version of the filter.
To overwrite an existing filter, click Overwrite filter.
The filter is imported.

By assigning method filters to users or user groups, users only have access to a subset of ARIS Method. Filters provide users with only the information and methods relevant to them. To assign method filters to users or user groups, do the following:
Click Application launcher >
Administration >
Configuration > Databases.
Select the database and click
Properties > Method filters.
Click User groups or Users and click the user groups or users to which you want to assign filters.
Enable the required method filters.
If you selected Users, you can see the filters that are individually assigned to the user, the filters the user inherited from the user groups, and the sum of filters the user has.
Single users or members of user groups can use all method items contained in the filters assigned.
In this section, you can also manage configuration languages.
