Apply "freeze" of LeanIX workspace for maintenance

We would like to “freeze” the entire LeanIX workspace for maintenance. Only three selected people having user role “Admin” should be allowed to edit within the workspace. All people having ‘Member’ user role should only be allowed to view (just as people having ‘Viewer’ user role’). Hopefully there’s an easier way of doing this than to manually start changing the ‘Member’ permissions for each and every LeanIX object (application, IT component, etc.) in our workspace? Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks.

Technical Fit Best Practices

Hi,I would like to know the best practice for where the technical fit should reside: on the application factsheet or the IT component? Is it more convenient to use the IT component for technical fit since it has a direct relationship to the application factsheet?Thank you.

API Integartion with Jira (CMDB)

I am seeking assistance with integrating assets from our Jira CMDB (Configuration Management Database) with LeanIX Factsheets and synchronizing specific fields between the two systems. Our goal is to ensure that data consistency is maintained across both systems, with Jira CMDB serving as the single source of truth for all information. However, we have encountered challenges related to middleware solutions, as our internal middleware Celium has not been approved for this purpose. I am Really A Rookie in this Topic, maybe you know a better approch for this Case.

Portals - Search Options and Detailed View - Parent/Child depth and Subtype display

As per the title I am looking to the community to see if anybody is able to help with the Portal configuration options.Having created a ‘Application - Factsheet’ portal I have 2 areas that I am looking to solve for.On the Search configuration, I have created a Filter Option, Based on ‘Relation’ that is has a Related Fact Sheet Type of ‘Organization’. In the Portal, this then display the Parents of Subtype ‘Business Unit’ only and does not show any Children depth.  My Question: Is is possible to specify the Subtypes that are presented below the search field in the Portal, or the Child depth? On the portal configuration for ‘Detailed View’ I have added a relation for ‘Organizations’ through the Fact Sheet name property, i am either able to leave blank and see the full parent/child path to the Organization.  My Question: is there a way to display the Subtype & the name. This will then result in a cleaner display without the full parent/child hierarchy. Keen to how others have best ma

L1 Applications - "Leave Empty" BCs and Orgs

I’ve searched documentation but cannot find guidance on the value vs effort of relating L1 applications to business capabilities and organizations. If an L1’s child applications (L2) are mapped appropriately to Business Capabilities and Organizations, why map L1 at all? The effort to do so is very duplicative and my users don’t want to do it. My thought is to “Leave Empty” these relations on L1 applications as it is effort without much value. What are your opinions?Example: An L1 application like “SAP ERP” and child applications like “SAP ERP CO”, etc.

How to include Application displayName in "Request Now" Action Button of Application Portal

As the title states, I have an Application Portal and when clicking on an application and the detail opening, there is a button for, “Request Now”. I’ve used the Portals in Administration to customize the action to “mailto: xxxxxx” our help desk, however, it would be awesome to dynamically include the application name that is being requested. Has anyone done this?

Lifecycle Status - additional attributes

Dear all,I’m currently facing the issue, that we have applications which are end of life, but still in use. Its mainly the support which is out of date, but the application still works. We are currently not planning to use a new release as well, so there is no successor on that.In fact, the date at “end of life” affects my cost reportings. I added the costs to the corresponding IT Component and included the Provider, but as the Application is eol it dosen’t show up. But I still have costs on that. :(Is there any option to reflect such cases? I would love to add a new Lifecycle phase (“extended usage”) but there is no option to add such.Or did I miss something here? Any suggestions how to deal with this issue? ThanksChristina

Modeling Organization for Applications used by everyone?

Does anyone have any advice on how best to model an Organization-Application linkage for Apps that are used by everyone in the organization? I’m thinking I’d want to create a Level 1 Organization (subtype=BU) to represent all employees of the organization generically. If there’s a specific team or region of users where that application has a distinct functional fit that needs to be called out, then we would add those as additional organizations. I think that should give us flexibility to provide insight into different usage perspectives for those shared services, but curious to know what approaches others have taken.

PowerPoint Slides/Content For Creating Fact Sheets, Updating them, etc?

Hi Everyone,At my organization, we are currently undergoing an an effort to get our Application Inventory completely up to date with the rest of our IT department. We have selected some users to represent their team/business area when it comes to LeanIX and provide lists of the applications they use. I was wondering if there was any PowerPoint content that LeanIX has published would be helpful to present to users as far as teaching them how to create fact sheets, updating quality seal, going through each section of an Application fact sheet, adding relationships to other fact sheet types, etc. Does anyone know of any content like that exists? I would love to be pointed in that direction. Thanks!
