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 

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.

My organization is implementing Data Mesh, and I want to implement data mesh thinking in LeanIX. Could you please help me with some basic idea of implementing Data Mesh thinking in LeanIX?

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) 

Hi - is it possible to convert a fact sheet (=application) to another type factsheet (=IT Component). I don’t want to manually redo the attributes and relationships. And I have multiple cases to be converted.Thank youNatalia

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! :) 

Hello to the community. I’m the Lead Enterprise Architect with Amey PLC. We started our journey with LeanIX last week. I was wondering is there are any pearls of wisdom anyone could share on things they would do different now they are experienced with the product? 

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?

Requesting saved searches via oData and Excel is successful.But for the final goal of converting the saved searches to csv-files I would like to get rid of the middleware (Excel) and do the job by PowerShell.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! 

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.

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 withAnalytics Platform IT components - Data Lake and ML moduleAlso create the relation between the Analytics platform and both the IT ComponentsCase 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

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.

Hi LeanIX Community, My team and I are working on a survey, but our users are currently not receiving the email invitations to participate. Could you please help us determine if there is any specific information we may be missing or provide any guidance on how to resolve this issue? We appreciate your support and any assistance you can provide. Thank you,Aby 

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 c

Hello,I’m trying to create a reportbut I need that on X-Axis appears the relation “Uses Platform”. Can you please support on this? Thanks.

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! 

Hi Community FellowsWe are new to LeanIX, I am exploring if anyone has experience in B2B integration flow ( IFDs) having trading partner ( external customer) mapped in LeanIX. A2A integration  where in sender and receivers are applications, it appears straightforward with interface factsheet. But any guidance on B2B would be helpful. RegardsKalpesh 

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?  

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.

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!

Dear Member, I would like to know if we can export the LeanIx presentation in powerpoint or any other format. Thanks,Awadhesh
