Template

Collection of formatting instructions for models.

Configuration administrators can create templates and assign templates to a model type. If a model of this type is created or imported from ARIS Express, the applied template is used automatically.

Users can assign templates to models.

A template assigned to a model type is automatically applied to newly created and imported models of this model type.

Assigning templates changes the appearance of model elements according to the formatting instructions. For example, objects are displayed in the defined colors and/or connections are displayed with the defined arrowheads. You can also use templates to specify the placement of attribute.

Moreover, you can assign multiple templates to models. All changes from templates are valid that are assigned one after another. This means that you can assign a template to a model to change the size of objects, for example, and another that places the required attributes above the objects. Both changes take effect.
