Advanced Configurations for SAP Signavio Integration not available

Hello everyone, I was trying to tag fact sheets based on values of SAP Signavio attributes in the advanced configuration tab. Unfortunately the tab does not exist in the Signavio integration section in LeanIX. Where can I find it? Or is there any other possibilty to tag fact sheets, that come from Signavio? ThanksDominik

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)

How can you edit the multiplicity of interface relationships

Hi All, We have a couple of challenges, one of them being that an interface can be both a provider as wel as a consumer at the same time. this is how that works:An application provides a dataset through an interface, this is consumed by another application. That data set is edited in the second application and provided back to application one who then consumes it. At certain points in time that interface also communicates the dataset directly to another interface. Any advice on how to model that would be greatly appreciated. My preferred solution would be to change the multiplicity from Manty to one to Many to Many relationships on provider as well as Consumer interfaces by the way.

Archived FactSheets

Hi y’all, I’m trying to figure out how the trash bin field works for archived factsheets. It seems like the archived factsheets are removed from the trash bin after some days, so just wondering what is the most efficient way of creating a tracking system for these factsheets?My initial idea is to take out exports of archived factsheets in a table view and manually append the data regularly in a locally stored file. Can this be automated and perhaps even be visualised on a LeanIX dashboard instead?Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :)

Conceptual Difference between Business Contexts and Business Capabilities

I am starting doing some use cases to study, and I am a little confused on when I can use Business Context or Business Capabilities… Is there any way to differentiate them? Is there any naming convention suggested for each of them?

First trap is authentication.I have an username and an api-token, but have no idea how to authenticate by PowerShell. Any idea? Thank you!

How does one access the fact sheet change logs?

Hello! Can I get some guidance on how to use the log data in LeanIX for reporting purposes? At the moment I can only see how to use the factsheet data readily available in the Inventory tab, but nothing on the log details of the fact sheet.

Platform factsheet modelling

How to model the relationship of Applications to platforms and IT components? Should the application relationship to IT components (making up the platform) be created if the relationship between the application and the platform is already established? For example, consider that there is an Analytics platform made up by a DataLake (IT component 1) and Machine Learning module (IT component 2). The Analytics platform is used to build the Customer Analytics application. How to model in this scenario? Case 1: Create relationship between Customer Analytics application with Analytics Platform IT components - Data Lake and ML module Also create the relation between the Analytics platform and both the IT Components Case 2: Create relationship between the Customer Analytics application with Analytics platform only. The relationship between the Application and these 2 IT components is not required since the IT components are inherently related to the app through the platform factsheet. The advant

How to export data from LeanIX?

Hi, What are the ways to export data from LeanIX?I don’t see any export button anywhere on the LeanIX page. I have the option to view and edit existing reports but not create new ones. My role is viewer.Also, according to me using an API to fetch data requires an API token but there is no option to generate any API token.Is the export functionality in LeanIX role dependent? Thanks.

Modelling Processes using Capabilities

Hello everyone, I have a question about the practical use of Business Capabilities from LeanIX within the context of process modeling in Signavio. My understanding is that Business Capabilities represent the “What” an organization needs to achieve its strategic goals—essentially, the abilities required. Processes, on the other hand, describe the “How” and provide a concrete sequence of activities to implement these capabilities. I’m uncertain about where and how Capabilities can be effectively utilized within a Signavio process model. If a process explains how a Capability is carried out, what added value does integrating the Capability into the process model bring? Should Capabilities be added as a reference to clarify the strategic alignment, or are there other best practices for using Capabilities in process modeling? I would appreciate any recommendations or insights on how others are handling the connection between LeanIX Capabilities and Signavio processes, as well as the benefit

Creating "Product-Specific" views

Hello everyone - I’m new to LeanIX community and I did search to see if there was a similar question asked and didn’t find anything. Let me give some context before I ask the question: I am a business architect in a health insurance company that sells different types of health insurance “Products’. I’m documenting value streams, using Business Context fact sheets, across the organization and then linking Applications, which have their dependencies on the IT components. There are certain value streams that are either specific to a “Product” or multiple Products. Similarly there could be Applications that would be used for a specific Product. I need to create “Product-Specific” views in LeanIX. For example, I need to answer following questions: Which Applications support Product A? Give me a view of Product B value streams and the related Applications and IT Components? Here are my questions: How can I best associate specific Products against value streams and applications? Would “Tags”

Business Capabilities and Business Processes

Hello everyone, My current understanding is that behind most business capabilites there is a process that describes how this capability is achieved operationally. This process is modeled in SAP Signavio according to BPMN 2.0, for example. However, my understanding is also that certain capabilities can be used or activated within a process in order to support a process. Therefore, I have the following questions: Is it correct that business capabilities are used within a process to realize a higher-level capability? How can this relationship between capabilities and processes be represented in Signavio? So how do I illustrate in my BPMN, that the process describes “how” a certain capability is delivered? And how do I show other capabilities that are required for this process? Thank you very much for your support!

Changing Metamodel to link Business Products to IT Components

Hello, I’m fairly new to using LeanIx tool for EA practice, within our organisation we have determined a few business products used by consumers and these products are supported by IT Components. The confusion we have is how do we link the business product to IT components without creating any applications. I understand we can change the out of the box meta model definition, just wanted to see if anyone has tried this approach before and if yes what implications does it have?

Interface Fact Sheet: Category, Provider and Consumer

Hello dear LeanIX Community, i am currently struggling with understanding the concept of the fields Provider Application and Consumer Applications on the Interface Fact Sheet. As I understand it, it has nothing to do with the direction of the data flow. But how can I identify which application is the provider and which one is the consumer of the interface? And also when should I use Logical Interface and when API as the subtype of the Fact Sheet? Thank you very much.

How to get all Application Factsheets from REST API

I’ve been trying to pull all application Factsheets from the /factsheet API, specifying criteria in the body such as the “type” and a few select “fields” I want, and setting “false” values on things like tags and subscriptions. However, when running the request, I still get all factsheets regardless of type, all fields, all tags, all subscriptions etc. I must be doing something wrong, but I am not sure what. Any ideas or any examples how I can use the GraphQL API to do this (I’m unfamiliar with GraphQL so I’ve been sticking to REST)? Thanks in advance!
