Importing ARIS Express to ARIS

I was able to successfully import an ARIS Express model into our ARIS, however I am wondering if there is a way to make the ARIS Express model look like the ARIS model/use the same symbols?

It is not a very useful tool if the models made in Express cannot be uploaded onto Business Architect using our symbols, the models need to match the ones in ARIS 7.1 or else it would be wasteful to have to re-do the models to match the ones already created.

Any tips would be helpful!

Thank you,

Marie

An EPC function in ARIS Express is also a EPC function in ARIS. However, both have different icons. You can standardize that in your method configuration by using a specific template. However, you can't map a specific ARIS Express object type to another object type in ARIS. This mapping is fixed and can't be changed.

How did you get the Express model into 7.1 Architect please?

Hi,

I am using ARIS Business Architect 7.2.2. Just to confirm with you Sebastian, it is not possible to import ARIS Express models into Business Architect maintaining the same 'look and feel' of Business Architect- same symbols?

No, it is possible to get the ARIS Express models into ARIS Business Architect with the same look and feel. You just need to install the ARIS Express filter in ARIS Business Architect. For details, see this extensive description of the feature.

Hi,

Thanks for a such prompt reply. I have read the thread before and tried, but to no avail. I imported ARIS Express models in Entire Method and Demo Method and got the same symbols of Express in the imported model in Architect. Then I created new test filter without Express symbols and then got nothing (only white screen). Any idea where the problem might be?

Thanks in advance!
