UML profiles

You can use UML profiles in ARIS UML Designer to extend the UML metamodel with user-defined types and properties and, at the same time, to reduce the number of UML types available in diagrams. Thus, UML profiles have a similar effect for UML modeling as ARIS method filters for ARIS standard modeling.

While an ARIS method filter is individually selected by the user when logging in to a database and applies to the entire database and the period of the login, UML profiles have fixed assignments to individual UML packages in the database. Therefore, they only apply to the packages (models and profiles) to which they are assigned, and to their content. This enables you to use different UML profiles in different areas of the database. In addition, UML profiles apply to all users in the same way, regardless of the method filter they have selected at login.
