Customize model variant

As a variant owner, you adapt the model variant. Perform the following steps to adapt the model variant of the master model in the region for which you are responsible.

Procedure

  1. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Models and objects Models and objects. The Models and objects view in the repository is opened.

  2. Navigate to the group in which you created the model variant and open it. In the opened model, the Master model roll-out bar is displayed. If models assigned to objects of the model variant are considered by the roll-out, you can expand the assignment hierarchy. For each model, the new or finished roll-out state is displayed. You can click Refresh Refresh to update the states of the models. You can click the names of the assigned models to edit them. They are opened in a separate tab.

  3. Customize the model variant and the models of the hierarchy to the regional conditions. An important customization, for example, is the translation of the language-dependent attributes, such as the names of the objects. This customization helps the region's users to understand and use the models.

  4. Open the Properties tab of the Properties Details bar if it is not open.

  5. If your user name is not entered as the person responsible, add it to the Person responsible attribute for all languages. This way you will receive e-mail notifications if a roll-out process of a new master model is triggered for your model variant.

    Click the Person responsible attribute to open the Edit dialog, where you can directly insert a user name. Or you can click the Add user Person icon to open the Select user(s) dialog and select the relevant user.

  6. Customize the assigned models if available.

  7. After you finish customizing a model, open the Roll-out resolution bar Roll-out conflict resolution bar and click Finish. On the Roll-out resolution bar Roll-out conflict resolution bar, the status new is displayed behind the name of a model if the processing has not been completed yet, the status finished if the processing has been completed.
    The roll-out of the model variant can only be finished if the roll-out of all assigned models is finished. New versions of the model variant and the assigned models are created. The master owner is informed by e-mail.

The basic settings for variant management are made. All changes to the master model can now be rolled out consistently in all language regions.

Tip

ARIS provides translation support for language-dependent attributes via reports. You can export attribute values for manual translation or for machine translation. You can specify that the translations are written directly to the database or that an Excel file is generated first. After checking the translations, you can import the Excel file via a report.
