During today's ARIS User Group DACH meeting, the question came up how to solve the visualization of RACI on a connection. The following picture shows the end result. We distinguish between R- Responsible, A-Accountable, C-Consulted, and I-To be informed. Each connection has its own representation (dotted line vs. dashed line vs. solid line vs. normal line with an arrow pointing to the role).
To show these R - A - C - I letters on the connection, there were a few steps necessary:
-
Create a custom attribute symbol for each letter and use the airplane symbol as a basis. This means: derive your new symbol from the airplane symbol (for your new symbol, use the symbol editor in Architect)
2. Allow the respective attribute in every connection where it is needed.
3. Add the connection type to your filter
4. Customize the visual representation, if needed in the template:
5. Place the attribute at the desired location
6. Remember to apply the changed filter to your existing models.
This is how we have done it (maybe you have identified other approaches- pls share them, would be very interested in those:) )
