Hey everyone,I’m looking for some guidance on how to properly model cost structures in LeanIX, especially when it comes to separating opex and capex while still maintaining a meaningful TCO view.According to the LeanIX documentation, all costs related to acquiring the right to use an application should be entered under License Costs — regardless of whether they are one‑time investments or recurring subscription fees. All other cost types are expected to be recorded as yearly values.This creates a challenge: Most of the costs that are aggregated (including via custom code) are annual costs, which makes them useful for identifying potential savings when rationalizing applications. However, I also want to capture a proper Total Cost of Ownership over the entire lifecycle — which should include one‑time license purchases and other upfront investments.The problem is that these one‑time costs distort the picture when the goal is to evaluate potential savings from retiring an application. A o

Our design philosophy is to model Business App, System, Component as follows:In LeanIX, we have imported our CMDB into the metamodel as follows:Business Apps to the Application/Business App fact sheet subtype System/Module to the Application/Microservice fact sheet subtype Component to the IT Component/Service fact sheet subtypeWhen we model designs by hand today, we map integrations at the System/Module level like this, essentially rolling up the microservice to it’s parent business app: How do I create this same type of data flow diagram in LeanIX Diagrams?  There’s no option out-of-the-box to make one app the child of another.Do I need to create a manual parent/child relationship on the Application fact sheet?  Then I should be able to “roll-up” to the parent business app?

Hello,Just wondering if anyone tried mastering Application Interfaces in ServiceNow CMDB and export them to LeanIX Interface factsheets?We are planning to track out Application integrations in CMDB which would get this information from Middleware applications.Then, using cmdb_rel_ci table relationship is created between App A to App B (App1 → App2), using provided_by, used_by, depends_on, etc relationships. CMDB is used more for operational purposes - impact analysis, change/incident management, service mapping. While LeanIX should have “business view” of integration without technical details.We want to push this data to LeanIX, by creating one Interface factsheet per integration.Has anyone had this use case of getting integrations data from CMDB to LeanIX ? Thanks,Mantautas Daunys.   

Hi everyone, I work for a global org active in about 80 countries. For orgs who work in a lot of countries and want to report at a global, country, regional level, how do you set up your organization fact sheets? Any ideas on the best ways to do this? Thanks!

Looking to use GraphQL to send email email to a custom field. From what I am gathering, there needs to be a webhook involved using https://<workspace>.leanix.net/automation/email. Hoping someone can help me out with this. ​

Hello everyoneI’m trying to get EOL date in lifecycle, this is because I need to validate if the lifecycle date is still active or has already expired. In case it has ended, I need to change the risk status value to unacceptable, with a calculable field. The issue is that when I try to do that, it shows me this error. Could someone help me?this picture is the base field to get the date, to validate against todayThis is the issue:  

Hi, Does LeanIX have a concept of a guest or unregistered user?  Specifically, can I create a Portal that is accessible to unenrolled individuals?I have read about transient users that are registered in real-time.  Right now, that appears to be the closest solution.Thoughts?

For the recent KPI update, I am unable to use a plus “+” symbol on my filter. It is visible on old KPI’s in the filters under “Edit KPI” as below. Therefore, with the new approach I can’t recreate many KPI created before the change (as recommended).Any tips?

I'm looking to automate the management of applications nearing their End of Life (EOL) in LeanIX. I need to set up an automation that notifies the EA team, exports all data for these applications, and then effectively "archives" them within LeanIX. Any advice on the best approach, including webhook implementation for data export and suitable storage solutions?

Is there a known outage? As of about 35 minutes ago, just after 10am EDT, I am unable to open any fact sheet page. Dashboards, Inventory, Reports all appear but as soon as I try to open a Fact Sheet I just get a continuously refreshing progress bar at the top of the page.

Hi everyone,I’m trying to connect the LeanIX MCP server to a Microsoft Copilot Studio agent using the MCP onboarding wizard, following the official docs:LeanIX MCP setup: https://help.sap.com/docs/leanix/ea/connecting-to-mcp-server Copilot Studio MCP onboarding: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/mcp-add-existing-server-to-agent?source=recommendationsHowever, I’m running into issues and would love to understand if anyone has successfully implemented this end-to-end with Microsoft Copilot Studio.Has anyone successfully connected LeanIX MCP to Copilot Studio and run actual tool calls in an agent conversation? What endpoint format, transport type and auth setup did you use for LeanIX?Any tips, configs, samples or pointers to working setups would be hugely appreciated 🙏

BonjourNous évaluons les “Strategic Importance” de nos Business Capa afin d’appliquer un “Pace Layering”Notre stratégie digitale “Make or Buy” indique en conséquence : si la BC est typée “commodity” alors normalement les applications qui la réalise devraient être de type “Buy” (nous avons créé un attribut pour indiquer si l’appli est de type “Make” (dévt spécifique) ou “Buy” (achat d’une solution marché) : notamment sur de l’ERP, car non différentiant sur le marché. si la BC est typée “Innovation” alors normalement les applications qui la réalisent devraient être de type “Make”.. et pas dans de l’ERP, car on dévierait du standard et on aurait un Time to market trop long.Nous cherchons à montrer simplement (par un report type Radar ou graphe à bulle, etc..) la cohérence sur notre stratégie.Nous sommes rapidement bloqués dans les reports type radar ou portfolio (graphe à bulles) …ESt-ce que vous avez déjà mis en place ce genre de stratégie et quels reports avez-vous proposé pour montrer

Dear CommunityWhen requesting SAP for a copy from your production workspace to the sandbox workspace, which (technical/integration) components should be excluded in the copy request to avoid problems with productive interfaces (e.g. Jira and other supplying thirdparty systems). In other words, which Leanix integration components related to the interfaces of the productive workspace should be excluded from the copy requestKind Regards,Maarten

Hello to the community,  We would like on interfaces to have a better technical understanding of its set up. In that regards, we are wondering on how to document integration protocol and file format.Examples of integration protocol: SFTP, REST API, TLS, Manual…Examples of file format: CSV, JSON, XML, TXT… We are considering 2 options:Create a Multi Select attribute on the Integration factsheet Create these integration protocol or file format as IT component and associate them to integrations. Any other options?I will be happy to hear the feedback of people having the same question and that implemented something in their workspace.Thank you,Kind regards,
