Manage configuration sets
The user interface of ARIS is based on configuration and modification sets. By default, ARIS provides the classic configuration set and the default configuration set. You cannot change the default configuration sets.
You can create modification sets based on the default configuration sets to customize the user interface to match your corporate design.
If you need extended configuration sets with different functions that you cannot configure in ARIS Administration, please contact ARIS Support.
If you are not yet familiar with this topic, why not log on to ARIS Academy and take a look at a product training course? Many basic trainings are free of charge.

Configuration sets are based on XML files and allow a comprehensive customization of ARIS.
By default, ARIS provides the classic configuration set and the default configuration set.
Advanced configuration changes require the use of XML configuration. Please contact SAG ARIS GmbH for a customization request or participate in the instructor-led ARIS Connect Portal Configuration training course, which is available to partners and customers at ARIS Academy. Please note that customization and training services are not covered by the standard software maintenance agreement. Configuration changes can only be performed by SAG ARIS GmbH if you request and agree to them. Errors in XML configuration may have serious impact. You may not be able to start ARIS again.
You can select all languages that ARIS supports. When a user selects a language, they specify which interface, method, and database language is used. Ideally, these are available in the selected language. If a language is not available, the procedure is as follows.
Interface language is not available in selected language
Available interface languages are installed.
If you have selected the language Quechua (Bolivia) and this language is not available as the interface language, the interface items, for example, the links, are displayed in English.
Method language is not available in selected language
The interface language is used.
For example, if you have selected the language Quechua (Bolivia) and this language is not available, model, object, and attribute names are displayed in English if you have selected English as the interface language.
Database language is not available in selected language
The default language for the database is used.
For example, if you have selected the language Quechua (Bolivia) and this language is not available, all entries you specify for attributes are added in the English database language if you have selected English as the default language. In the modeling component, for example, the current database language is displayed after the model name using a language code.
