ARIS – MS Project Interface The Aris-MS Project interface converts functions, rules, resources and events from ARIS Toolset Version 4.03 or higher to MS Project 98 or higher and vice versa.

ARIS – MS Project Interface This interface supports more than 150 ARIS attributes and more than 300 MS Project properties. The interface can be applied to the following ARIS models: eEPC, eEPC (Instance), eEPC as column display, eEPC with material flow, PPC, Office process, Industrial process, PCD, PCD with material flow or Value added chain diagram.

ARIS Report This interface consists of two reports: ArisToMSProject report, for exporting ARIS models into MS Project, and ArisFromMSProject report, for importing the MS Project data into ARIS.

Assignments First option allows you to choose how many sublevels you want to include in data transfer. Second option means that, for each assignment, you will be asked whether you want to include that assignment in transfer or not.

Connections

You also choose the way connections will be handled. Connections can be handled in any of the following ways:  all connections will be handled as if they were active (if so, you can also update the model – all connections will be marked as active)  connections will be handled the way you set them  you will be asked to resolve unclear situations regarding connections to/from rule objects (if so, you can decide whether you want AND and/or OR rule object types to be handled automatically).

Data Transfer During the data transfer, the program status window will be displayed.

Data Transfer This message will be displayed at the end of data transfer.
