Hi!

I have a questiong regarding importing .adb and .xml files into Aris Express. Is this possible and, if it is, how do I perform this import?

Dear Ivana,

Since ARIS Express can handle only one model in a single file (.ADF file format) you can't import an ARIS database (.adb file format) because a database consists of many models.

If you have an ARIS database you'd like to reuse, you could start a trial of ARIS Advanced. There, you can import up to 20 databases.

Cheers

Hi Rune and thank you for your answer! What about .xml files, can they be imported?

I am afraid, XML file import is also not a feature for ARIS Express. It's really a tool to start modeling from scratch, or importing Visio files in .VDX file format.

In ARIS Cloud Advanced you can import files from ARIS Express, BPMN and Visio.
