ARIS Express Status Update

Sebastian,

What is the way to report bugs in ARIS Express. I don't see a special group or something not that there is official release.

Two issues that immediately come to mind are:

1. When putting a special symbol for a documents name (save as...) there is no message that it's not allowed, it's just not saved and that's it

2. In every new symbol the Name appears sometimes bold, sometimes not.

Cheers

Ivo

For my part, I issued the following issues (evolution or Bug, I leave you to judge).

1 - Links models

2 - Problem with SmartDesign windows

I also noticed the same issues published by Ivo.

I disabled my cleaning software that required me to reinstall AE.

Best Regards

Pascal.

Ivo,

With the official release of ARIS Express the former beta tester group has been renamed to ARIS Express Support Group - You can find the instructions on how to report a bug here.

Best regards,
René

Hi Pascal,

your first point is not a bug report but a feature request. The second point is also more a feature request, even though one could argue that it should be possible to use ARIS Express in a multi-screen setup.

The problem with software cleaning the user profile on each startup is something we can't fix in ARIS Express, because it happens outside of ARIS Express. However, I will add a FAQ entry for it.

Hi Sebastian,
do you already know when ARIS express new features will be available for ABA/ABD? My customer is indeed very interested in the new symbols amongst other things.
A few weeks ago, Frank Weyand was speaking of the end of this year.
Thanks
 

Hi!

I am also interested to know when the bridge from AE to ABA will be available!

Thx

It will be part of the next service release of ARIS Platform. Yesterday, we just release service release ARIS 7.1 2009_04. I don't know at the moment how the next one will be called and I think the release date is also not fixed yet.

Please see my new Bug report about characteristics of connectors were lost when copy/paste.

Cheers.

Pascal.

I have posted a new article describing how to report bugs in ARIS Express. I hope this clarifies it a little bit.

I'm not certain if this is a bug or not...but yesterday I created a heap of organisation charts using smartdesign. I saved, exited & came back later to work on them without issue.

Today, however, I don't seem to have the smartdesign option enabled. the buttons on the menu bar are greyed out, and when I right click on the shape smart design is not one of the options to select??

Am I going crazy, or am I doing something incorrectly?

I hope someone can help me quite quickly.

Hi Tracey,

I've seen your post in another thread.

Do you refer to ARIS Express or is it about the Business Architect or Designer?

Bye,

Frank

Hi Frank, its Aris Express....seems to be working this morning...is it one of those "undocumented features" :o)
