Create object definitions

Create object definitions that you want to create occurrences for later in models and create an object library. Thus, the required objects are available when modeling.

With the ARIS Connect Designer license privilege, you can create multiple objects of the same type at the same time.

Copy object names and attributes to the clipboard

  1. In a text editor, enter the names of the new objects in separate lines.

  2. To the right of the objects, enter the attributes separated by tabs.

  3. Select all entries with Ctrl + A and copy them to the clipboard with Ctrl + C.

You can paste the contents of the clipboard into the Create Objects dialog to create new objects.

Insert object definitions

  1. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Models and objects Models and objects.

  2. Log in to the relevant database.

  3. Select the database group in which you want to save the object definitions.

  4. Click Insert object Create objects. The dialog opens.

  5. Paste the clipboard content into the dialog by using Ctrl + V. The content is inserted into the dialog and rows are created for the symbol and attribute types.

Tip

Create occurrences of the objects in an overview model. This prevents the object definitions from being deleted unintentionally during a database reorganization.
