Best Practices for Assigning External App IDs During Initial Excel Import into LeanIX

Hi everyone,We’re preparing to import preliminary application data into LeanIX using Excel, but currently don’t have any External App IDs assigned to the applications.Looking for best practices or recommended formats that have worked well for generating unique, consistent, and persistent External App IDs—especially during the initial import phase.Any suggestions or examples from your experience would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

When does deleting a Transformation result in other fact sheets being archived?

Hey LeanIX team.I create a Transformation such as Change Application Technology. I want to specify a New IT Component that does not already exist, so I type the name and click “+ Create new fact sheet...” in the popup menu, and that results in the fact sheet being created (as expected).If I delete the Transformation then the newly-created fact sheet gets automatically archived. This happened (in a simple test) even if I had added a description to the referenced fact sheet.Creating and then deleting a Transformation that references an existing fact sheet does not cause the referenced fact sheet to be archived (in my test, the existing fact sheet had lots of other data and relationships).Muy question is: What are the rules defining when fact sheets referenced by Transformations are auto-archived as part of deleting the Transformation? e.g. is it related to lifecycle dates or other data on the referenced fact sheet.Thanks

Calculated Field on Application–Organization Relation Not Appearing as Target in Calculation Setup

Hi LeanIX Community,I'm trying to implement a cost allocation model using custom fields and calculations, but I’ve run into an issue. Scenario:I’ve created a custom field (Application Cost) on the Application Fact Sheet (type: Double, displayed as Cost), and I also have a field (Number of Users) on the Application–Organization relation. The idea is to calculate the proportional cost per organization, based on how many users are using the application within each connected organization. Example:Application cost: €50,000/yearOrg A: 700 usersOrg B: 5 usersOrg C: 300 users→ Total = 1005 users I want to calculate a new value (e.g. Chargeback) on the Application–Organization relation as:(application cost / total number of users) × users per orgIssue:I created a new Double field on the Application–Organization relation to store the Chargeback value, but when I try to create a Calculation in the Admin interface, this field doesn’t appear as a selectable target — even though it is visible, activ

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!
