Create or reuse items in a list

In the Portal Portal, you can create new or reuse existing items.

The following description refers to items in a list. It uses the example of an application system type diagram.

Please note that new items you may have created are added to the diagram. At the same time, a new layout is automatically generated for the diagram. As a consequence, the arrangement of items in the diagram may differ from the original arrangement. If required, a user with the ARIS Connect Designer license privilege can adapt the layout of the diagram in ARIS Connect Designer.
