Get help for ARIS

View UML content

You can display UML content in ARIS. The following prerequisites must be met:

  • You use the classic configuration set.

  • The database with UML content you are using has been assigned a filter that allows UML content. This may be the Entire method filter or a filter you have defined in which all UML elements are available.

  • The database has been published by an administrator. It is therefore available in Published content Published content.

  • You have logged in as a user with the UML Viewer function privilege.

When you select an element of a UML model, the fact sheets of UML models are displayed. As soon as you select UML content to be displayed, specific UML characteristics are considered.

  • Thus, UML namespace hierarchies are also displayed together with the group path.

  • If you select a UML element, you can display its typical UML-specific properties such as stereotypes and tagged values.

  • If you select a diagram, you can of course display it graphically.

  • The search also finds UML content.

UML fact sheets

Fact sheets show facts about a selected element of UML diagrams in various views. Facts can be displayed in text form or graphically. Facts in text form are, for example, element descriptions or lists of elements that are structured in tables.

The relevant content is displayed based on the item selected. If you have selected a group, the group content is displayed. Content that can be used to navigate to other content is displayed as links. For example, if you have selected a UML element, additional headings are shown depending on the context.
