data management in LeanIX

I have a question regarding data management in LeanIX, specifically about representing weak coupling relationships. Currently, I can establish strong dependency relationships as follows:Create IT Components in the IT Component section. Link Applications to IT Components via the "Technology Stack" field in the Application Factsheet.This approach effectively represents strong dependencies where an Application relies on specific components to function properly.However, I also need to handle cases where a weak coupling relationship exists:The Application can use an IT Component, but it is not a strong dependency. The Application can still function normally without this component by using alternative components.In the current system, I can link the Application to the IT Component, but there is no way to explicitly indicate that this relationship is "replaceable" or "weakly coupled."My Request:Is there a way to visually represent weak coupling relationships in the Relation Explorer? Is there

Automations limited to single-select and "unused" fields ::? Why?

Hi,does anybody have an idea, why LEANIX automations are limited to (as the documentation reads) “Single-select fields and unused fields”. This leads to a lot of fields not showing up in the configuration dialog and it seems you cannot automate a field based on its “text” value. You cannot compare to it.Why is that and what are “unused fields”?Greets Olaf

Export Option moved . Dislike...

Moin,just like to say that the recent change of hiding the export option in the three-point menue of the inventory header is a ...not so good… idea , especially because this option constantly gets visibly blocked when the “eye” option below, toggling the field list to be shown”,is enabled, which happens quite frequently prior to using the export option.Leads to simply blocking sight to the export option. Does not feel good.Why not simply add a button left off …? Only my opinion.

How to add metadata fields to table view in Application Fact Sheet (export template)

Creating an export template for Application fact sheet. I’m not seeing many of the fields (relationship, multi select, etc) in the field chooser (eye icon) in the table view. For example, I’d like to update TIME choices when importing metadata, but that’s not available in the selector.

Leanix Error

We were trying to relate a project as a child of another project. but get this error “The operation exceeds the quota for configuration maxHierarchyLevel: 4 of 3” We have projects with phases and trying to represent each phase by creating a project for each phase then relate those to the parent project. What’s the recommended way within leanix to achieve this?ThanksTom

How to con configure "Relation Valid for" in relations ?

Hi, I’m trying to understand if it’s possible to configure constraints between relations, as described on the following page: https://docs-eam.leanix.net/docs/adding-and-editing-data-in-fact-sheets#constraining-relations.I’d like to know if the "Relation valid for" setting can be configured at the metamodel level and understand the underlying logic.

Merge 2 apps like the SaaS inbox does with linking

N00b question (I assume it is). I’ve read through different articles but I’m not finding a hit on the issue I’m facing. Our company uses Axure and I had it in inventory as Axure. SaaS inbox saw it as Axure RP, which I let it create the new Application. Many of them link and that's great. This one did not and now I have Axure and Axure RP. I have some capabilities, etc.. linked to the Axure one that I would want to migrate to Axure RP. I can’t seem to find a “merge/link” button for 2 apps in the inventory. Am I missing something, thinking about this the wrong way, etc..

Survey - locked questions

I’m creating a survey on business criticality of applications. Logic in the meta model that if an application is deemed mission critical, then a set of additional questions pops up (=conditional questions). I’ve tried to replicate this in the survey, but it’s not possible. The workaround I’ve found is to create a new section in the survey with non-mandatory fields with a textual prompt to only fill it in for mission critical apps.Am I correct in my assumption it’s not possible to configure conditional fields as I need? I’ve added those fields to the survey but I can see a lock next to it, i.e. cannot enter this data. What might be the reasons and how to overcome it?

Architecture Assessment calculation

Hi All - for each new application, we are performing an architecture assessment. We have 9 questions, each with 4 options that are rated 1-4.I’d like to create a calculated field that can get those values from 4 questions and create a calculation what is the total score Is it possible to somehow visually indicate for each answer (with colour etc) that the answer tends to be weak (e.g. not secure) or perfect fit to the landsscape.Is there a possibility to do that in LeanIX?

Application factsheet - move some of fields to right side for better information presentation

Greetings, The application fact-sheet looks as follows, where all info is on the left side aligned, and as we continue to add more fields, the list continues to grow down: Is it possible to move or configure some of the fields to the right side, to use real-estate better? I see this in the application fact-sheet configuration, but on the application record, it shows only in the EDIT mode. Is it also possible to show in non-EDIT mode? Thanks,Satish Byali

Adaption on Metamodel

Dear all,I can see there have been quite a few adaptations to the metamodel in our LeanIX Workspace. I wonder if there is an elegant way to find the deviations from the standard “as delivered” model? I know there is a change log/audit log, but I find it tedious to figure out what the actual changes are. Some changes are done by LeanIX support (due to changes in the metamodel version?).Also, where would you draw the line when it comes to adaptations? Extra fields are okay to what extent? What about establishing new relations to fact sheets or hiding parent or child levels? Moving subareas?Do you have guidelines in your companies, and how do you document changes? Thank you in advance for any opinions or input.Have a great day Christian (tried to post it in Meta Model but I do not seem to have accesss there)

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

Short Description or Narrative about the each Factsheet Attribute

Hello TeamI am looking for brief descriptions or narratives for each Factsheet Attribute within our documentation, such as 6R Classification, 6R Strategy, Alias, Business Contexts, Business Criticality, and Children. Additionally, we need descriptions for other Inventory Item Factsheets to ensure consistency when cascading this information to our SMEs, who will be responsible for sourcing the data.If you have any references or documented details, please share. Your support is greatly appreciated!

How to Make Fact Sheets Private or Restrict Access in LeanIX

I'm looking for ways to make certain Fact Sheets private or restrict access to them in LeanIX. We have some sensitive data that we only want specific users to be able to view or edit.I know LeanIX doesn't have a direct "private" setting, but I've heard about using role-based permissions, subscription types, and tags to control access. Could anyone share some detailed instructions or examples of how to do this effectively?For example, how can I:Restrict access to a Fact Sheet so that only users with a specific role (e.g., "Finance") can view it? Make certain attributes (fields) within a Fact Sheet visible only to certain users? Use tags to control access to sensitive Fact Sheets?Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance.

Technical vs Functional Fit - unclear definitions

We are starting with Technical and Functional Fit for apps in our portfolio. I would like to use out of the box functionality and definitions, however we discovered that existing definitions of these two attributes are quite hard to judge. Example: definition of a perfect functional fit is “High number of functions available” - we are not really looking at functions in business value assessment, we would be looking to how well this application realizes my business problem end to end. Additionally, we want to make sure that app owners are less prone to rate everything as “prefect fit” (which we know they tend to do).Does anyone have experience with successfully enriching these definitions?

Managing external modules (microservices)

Hello,we are conducting an assessment of the applications within the company, specifically mapping applications and their related microservices.We have introduced a mandatory subscriptions for assigning responsible and accountable roles to applications and modules that are part of the IT landscape.Now, we need to map external applications owned by business stakeholders, which are invoked by internal microservices. Since we are mapping them as applications, they also inherit the mandatory subscriptions for accountability and responsibility. However, in many cases, we are unable to meet the responsibility requirement because there are no IT personnel involved.How can we model this scenario for external applications?

LeanIX Automation for EOL (End Of Life) Application Management

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?
