Assign documents

You can supplement individual models and objects with, for example, detailed information and graphics by assigning documents available in ARIS document storage to them.

Prerequisite

The filter in use allows the ARIS document storage Link attribute.

Procedure

  1. Open the relevant model.
  2. Select the object to which you want to assign a document, or ensure that no object is selected if you want to assign the document to the model.
  3. Click Properties Properties. The Properties bar opens.
  4. Click the Attributes tab if it is not activated yet.
  5. Show the ARIS document storage Link attribute.
  6. In the editing cell of the ARIS document storage Link attribute, click Edit Edit. The Select document dialog opens.
  7. Select ARIS document storage if it is not yet selected.
  8. Select the folder containing the relevant document.
  9. Enable the option button of the document you want to assign.
  10. Click OK.

The document is assigned to the item.

On the Documents tab, a document with the ARIS document storage Link attribute is marked with Object attribute for objects and Model attribute for models. If a document title was specified, it is shown, otherwise the complete link to the document in ARIS document storage. You can place the attribute. To ensure that the name you specify is placed in the model instead of the link, you can show the ARIS document storage Title attribute from the Attributes tab (Properties bar). If you specify a name for the attribute, this name is displayed in the model instead of the contents of the placed ARIS document storage Link attribute.
