Define exclusion groups

You can define exclusion groups to store objects to be excluded from variant creation. When model variants are created, objects stored in exclusion groups are used as occurrence copies instead of object variants. Usually, organizational elements and application systems are the object types that must be consistent in all models.

Prerequisites

  • You have the ARIS Connect Designer license privilege.

  • You have the Database administrator function privilege.

Warning

If you create an object collection before using the objects in models, keep in mind that objects not used in models are deleted during a database reorganization.

You can remove the Excluded status for groups. To do so, enable the check boxes of the exclusion groups you want to remove and click Delete Remove exclusion groups.
