Dear community,

We are currently trying to document how our applications are deployed, from a geographical and from a capability perspective. Of our our application factsheet type has a relationship to user groups and to business capabilities.
What becomes tricky is that some applications might cover several business capabilities level 2, but not in an identical way (yet) in all locations. I had a quick look at the configuration options and I couldn’t find a way to represent that in leanIX.
For example, application A covers business capabilities BC1 , BC2 and BC3, and is deployed in France, Germany, Italy.
But A covers BC1, BC2, BC3 in Germany. But only BC1 , BC2 in France. And BC1 in Italy.
How would you model that? 

This is a problem I have also come across.  The only way I can see how to do this currently is to have a separate Application Fact Sheet for each instance.  I’ve also thought about having a ‘parent’ subtype and an instance ‘subtype’ with a custom relation between the two.

Other tools I have used do this differently:

  • a 3 way relationship between Application, Business Capability and User Group
  • an application hierarchy: one application with multiple application versions with multiple application instances

Hi everyone, 

The best way to link applications to specific business capabilities with respect to organizations is to use the matrix report and by enabling editing. You need to navigate to Reports > Matrix > Application Matrix and then drag and drop or add the relevant application to the BCs as these are constraining relations. 

 

This would allow you to reduce the effort to manually link BCs and organizations with applications and would enable efficient linkage of constraining relations.
