Hello! Can I get some guidance on how to use the log data in LeanIX for reporting purposes? At the moment I can only see how to use the factsheet data readily available in the Inventory tab, but nothing on the log details of the fact sheet.

Aggregated Obsolescence and Tracking Server OS on IT Component Fact Sheet

Hi All,Two key risks we would like to use LeanIX to address here in our organisation is out of date software and / or operating systems. Were early in our LeanIX journey so we have no plans for mass population of IT components yet but instead are focussing on value add and these two key things are a historical challenge here adding risks to our application portfolio.Were finding the aggregated obsolescence capability in LeanIX a really powerful tool for tracking this software support lifecycles and surfacing it up. To do this we create an IT component for the application with the software version / vendor lifecycle in it and it all works correctly.For operating systems we have observed there is a dedicated field in the IT component fact sheet for server operating system. However this value does not seem to be used in calculating aggregated risks and seems to be treated as a separate element of an IT component and it has no concept of lifecycle with it.Do people use the server oper

Determine information classification value of application based on data security level field of Data object

Hi all. We recently onboarded with LeanIX. Soon enough we realize standard automation features can not support automation between two factsheet types. We have below requirement: custom field on application called Data Security. value includes SC-1 = Internal; SC-2 = Restricted; SC-3 = Highly restricted. custom field in Data Object called Information classification. Value includes : Public, Restricted, Internal, Highly restricted multiple data objects are assigned to Application. Application's data security value will be automated updated based on Information classifications of Data objects. Data security value will be updated based on most restricted information-classification level of data objects. For example, if employee data object is part of application and it is highly restricted, Data Security of application will be filled as Highly restricted.Has anyone encountered similar requirements in LeanIX? Your experiences sharing is highly valuable and appreciated for us. Have good

Why can't I join report community?

I tried to post a question in the reports community and got the error message “you don’t have access to this category”? any ideas? Most frustrating for someone trying to use this product and is new to it.

Custom KPI Value Update Frequency

How long does it take for custom KPIs to update? I’m seeing a discrepancy between when I click “validate” and what my dashboard is showing.When I click the ‘validate’ button after creating my KPI using the JSON editor, it says the KPI value is “264”. Then I click “save” and go back to the list of KPIs and it says the value is “256”. Do these KPIs get calculated once per day and I should just assume it’s a matter of time before it gets updated, or is there something else going on here?

alignement de vocabulaire et metamodel

Bonjour la communauté !!En discutant avec nos Staff+ Engineers et en lisant plusieurs articles dans la presse, je vois arriver un alignement de vocabulaire autour de Systems, containers, composants.C’est par exemple illustré dans cet article :https://nikolaschou.medium.com/a-new-software-architecture-metamodel-inspired-by-c4-agile-and-togaf-b3f21ab9848Et également décrit dans le C4 Model : https://c4model.com/abstractions Avez-vous aligné votre metamodel vers ces notions, si oui comment, et sinon pourquoi ? @LeanIX Team : cette nomenclature étant de plus en plus utilisée par les staff+, notamment dans un contexte d’organisation produit et d’agilité, comment prenez-vous en compte cela ? Allez-vous vers une modification du metamodel. ?merci d’avance pour vos retours !!

Intégration LeanIX- Teams

Bonjour à la communauté Française,Nous nous posons la question d’utiliser l’intégration entre LeanIX et Teams afin d’avoir des notifications sur ses factsheets via Teams. Un utilisateur de cette intégration aurait-il un retour sur ce cas d’usage. Les équipes Teams étant parfois chargées en notifications, nous nous interrogeons sur l’utilité pour les utilisateurs d’une telle intégration.Merci beaucoup pour vos retours.Simon

Application sub-type Deployment

Dear LeanIX’ers,I would like to get some feedbacks from the community regarding the “best usage” of the sub-type Deployment of an application.We are a large watchmaker group in Switzerland, made from many organizations, and the goal is to modelize the application landscape of the entire group with LeanIX.We are not using the virtual workspaces, so that all the compagnies can see the complete application list already existing in the group.When an application is used by several compagnies, we modelize it as “Parent - Children” Application / Deployment, so that each deployment have it’s onw business owner, business criticality, technical fits, etc… This makes particular sense when the application is running for each company it’s own instance on a virtual server.But when we take cloud applications, I always hesitate to create a Deployment for each company, as it’s the same application, but can have different business owners (by brands), and therefore different levels of criticality, depend

Rolling out LeanIX to your Stakeholders - Your Approach

Hello All!I hope everyone is doing great and is having a wonderful start to the week. I’m often asked for advice with rolling out LeanIX to the broader organization. It can be challenging to effectively loop in various teams and stakeholders and officially begin ‘democratizing’ EA within your business. While LeanIX does have an official Rollout and Adoption Toolkit (which I wholeheartedly recommend checking out and utilizing if you haven’t already), I’m curious to learn how you went about this all-important step in your LeanIX journey. I’m hoping you can share your answers to some or all of these questions below:Have you begun your rollout to the wider organization yet? Still Planned? With regard to your rollout, what does your end goal look like? How have you (or will you) go about gaining stakeholder adoption of LeanIX and EA as a whole? What (if any) major challenges were you facing before, during, and after your rollout of LeanIX?Thank you for your responses to these questions eve

Keeping with the TIME theme...

Hi All, Hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday!If you haven’t seen my post last week, I asked whether or not your organization has implemented TIME in your EA practice and your thoughts about the model itself. @Jacques, a greatly appreciated community member, responded to this question with a great example of how they’ve utilized TIME and the custom approach they utilized (seriously, this is a great response and if you haven’t read it, please do so!). Jacques also posted a question at the end of his response to the community, and to ensure it gets visibility, I wanted to repost it here.Jacques wrote: “How are other organisations assessing TIME across their organisation with different Functional Fits per region/team/business unit ?” Appreciate your time and have a great week everyone!
