Hi,

does a pre-populated list of countries exist in ARIS?

Is it possible to populate a value list differently than manually through the User Interface, which is cumbersome, if there are a lot of values?

Thanks,

Dagmar

Dear Dagmar,

I am not sure where you expect to see that list of countries. Please describe in more detail what you want to achieve, what you expect, and why actually happens.

Cheers

Rune

Hi Rune,

thanks for your question. I am trying to maintain a list of suppliers with their addresses split into attribute types as country, city, address line 1, address line 2, ZIP code. Ideally country could be picked from a value list. I was wondering, if this has not already been a request earlier and therefore an attribute type "country" as a value list pre-populated with all countries of the world, may already exist.

If such an attribute type as a value list of all countries does not exist yet, I was wondering, if creating such a list could be done more easily with copy/paste as opposed to entering every single value in the value list, when creating this new attribute type.

Thanks,

Dagmar

Hello Dagmar,

you can create a custom attribute type with a value list (Aris Architect Help: <yourserver>/abs/help/en/handling/ba/index.htm#59020.htm ) in Architect > Administration > Configuration > Method > Attribute types.

But AFAIK the list of country names can only be populated manually, not uploaded, as it was not intended to use dynamic data in the method configuration (reasons are explained here)

A second thought is -  apart from Aris - the classic problem of standardized master data: If you search the net for a consistent list of country names you quickly get to different naming conventions (cf. this post )

"Anyone care to explain the difference between “England”, “Great Britain” and the “United Kingdom”?"

Regards, Martin
