Company assets (hierarchies)

Corporate assets, like organization, process, and risk, are available as hierarchy elements in ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager. Only a tree structure is allowed for all hierarchies to be transferred to ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager. This means that each element in the hierarchy can have only one superior item. If hierarchy elements are used by any object related to an ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager workflow, for example, a survey task, the hierarchy elements are transferred including their superior hierarchy tree to ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager. To transfer all hierarchy elements of a model to ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager, set the Synchronize ARCM model attribute (AT_AAM_EXPORT_RELEVANT) to true. A corresponding hierarchy element is created in ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager for each relevant hierarchy element in an ARIS modeling environment, unless the top hierarchy element already exists in ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager.
