Add item properties

Item properties determine the information available and displayable for the item in the portal. You can edit custom properties.

You cannot edit the Classic and the Default configuration set.

You can allow users who have both the ARIS Connect Viewer and the Contribution license privileges to edit certain properties. This is also possible for properties that have already been defined in the selected template of the modification set.

Prerequisite

You have the Portal administrator function privilege.

Procedure

  1. Open a user-defined modification set for editing.
  2. Click Items. All items defined in this modification set for groups, models, and objects are displayed. You can use these items in fact sheets and define which information is displayed where.
  3. Move the mouse pointer over the item you want to change, for example, Process.
  4. Click Edit Edit. The Edit item page opens.
  5. Click Properties. All properties of the item that can be displayed in the portal are listed.
  6. Click Add Create property. The corresponding dialog opens.
  7. Enter the technical name of the new property as an identifier.
  8. For each language enter the name of the property that it is to be displayed with in the portal. Always specify the name in English as well, because English is used as the alternative language in the event that a language is missing.
  9. In the Data mapping box, select the type of ARIS item whose information is to be available. This depends on the type of item for which you are defining the property.
  10. For models you can select Attributes, Occurrence contained, or Related assigned models, while you can select Attributes, Related objects, or Object to object for objects. If you select Attribute and the attribute type, for example, Description, the descriptive texts for objects or models are searched and provided. For Connected objects, select connection and object type. This finds all objects associated with an object. Occurrences contained provides all objects of a model.
  11. Specify the settings described depending on the item type.
  12. Click Create. The new property is displayed in the table.
  13. In order to be able to test the changed property, it must first be assigned to an area in a fact sheet. To test the changed modification set, select it for publishing.

The changes are available to users in the portal.
