When is the Set signature dialog displayed?
The dialog is displayed if operations or signals are available for the message edge. If they are not available, it is not displayed.
If operations or signals are available, the dialog opens in the following situations.
If you are placing a new message edge and the Set signature for new message edges check box is enabled (ARIS > Options > Designer > UML2 modeling > Set signature for new message edges).
If you select a message edge and click Edit elements > Set signature on the Contents tab bar.
Depending on the type of message, the dialog provides operations or signals as the signature:

Operations are identified as follows: Target lifeline::represents -> connectable element::type -> Classifier::owned operations -> Operations.
If the placed message is of the Reply message type, operations are provided as the signature.
Operations are identified as follows: Source lifeline::represents -> connectable element::type -> Classifier::owned operations -> Operations.
If the placed message is of the Asynchronous signal message type, signals are provided as the signature.
Signals are identified as follows: Target lifeline::represents -> connectable element::type -> Classifier::owned receptions -> Reception::signal -> Signal.
