What is the best practice for mapping Application Fact Sheet?

We need to address four key scenarios within the Application Fact Sheet:Versions Instances Environments ModulesWhat would be the best practice to map these scenarios?I am considering the use of Application Subtypes — namely Business Application, Deployment, and Microservices (Application Modeling Guidelines | SAP Help Portal) — to represent these scenarios.Please confirm the following: If I utilize these subtypes, would they count towards the total number of applications under our current licensing model, especially if they are not linked to Business Capabilities? Additionally, by using these subtypes, would I be able to comprehensively map the application's relationships across the entire IT landscape — including IT Components, Data Objects, Interfaces, and Technology Categories?

Automating sync with Signavio for multiple dictionary mappings

Hello!In order to integrate multiple elements between LeanIX and Signavio, we have configured multiple Dictionary Category Mappings in the config settings. Aside from the ‘basic’ SAP Signavio processes to LeanIX, we also have:LeanIX applications to Signavio dictionary Signavio process to LeanIX application relation SAP LeanIX Organisation to Signavio dictionary SAP LeanIX Business Capability to Signavio dictionary Signavio process to LeanIX Business Capability relationCurrently we sync them manually as needed but would like to automate this. How can we schedule the different mappings synchronisation, in the right order, so that they don’t result in conflict or undesired behaviours and so that they run automatically in the selected sequential order?Example: if I archive an app in LeanIX that is linked to a Signavio process, I want to sync apps to Signavio dictionary first, because that removes the app (if using overwrite or conservative sync). If the process x application relation sync

TIME Surveys

Our organization has completed the first round of functional and technical surveys in order to calculate TIME. Before we do our second round, we would like to vet our survey questions. For those doing TIME, did you use the TIME survey template in LeanIX? If not, how did you determine which questions to ask to gather functional and technical fit? Did you create your own survey questions or did you work with a professional company to determine the survey questions? What other things did you do to gain confidence in the questions and that you were getting true functional and technical fit responses? Thank you for your help!

Storing results in Fact Sheet from a survey

I am creating a survey and based on the response of the survey i have added a calculated field that calculates a score. Based on the score, the code categorizes the score into three levels of High, Medium and Low. I want to store that categorization in an Application Fact Sheet. I added an option field which can take these three values. How can I automatically update this option field from the survey? Is it possible to do so?

Automated Data Propagation from Parent to Child Business Capabilities

We have a three level Business Capability model in LeanIX. We're interested in automating the process of rolling up maturity ratings from child fact sheets to their parent Business Capability fact sheet. When we update the children, we'd like to have the parent BC automatically inherit an average of the child ratings. Is there a built-in LeanIX feature, automation or API-based solution to achieve this? #BusinessCapabilities #Automation
