Button to automatically compare models in separate databases.

In our organisation we manually use two databases - one for modelling, and the other to publish the completed models.

It would be handy to have a button in Connect that automatically opens up that model in another database so we can provide a visual comparison for our stakeholders showing what the changes are. Currently we can do that manually, but it takes time. Using a little bit of coding, you can change the url to bring up the same model in a different database.


Example: We have a model opened in the Modelling database. The URL might be https//aris.company//item/c.ModellingDatabase.uniquecharacters/moreuniquecharacters.

If I want to open the model in the Published database, I would love to click a button which prompts me for the other database. I choose Published database and it automatically opens the page in the new database. In the background the ARIS magic codes is just opening a new link in the browser with the new URL of https//aris.company//item/c.PublishedDatabase.uniquecharacters/moreuniquecharacters. It's the same URL - just with the different database name.


This would save us considerable time and help us compare our changes when getting our changes signed off by business representatives.
