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) 

I just discovered that you cannot import your own full snapshot.I am now wondering what the intended purpose is of the snapshot functionality is, if it is not intended for complete backup and restore of an environment if and when needed.Anyone have some insight regarding this?

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!

Hello everyone -I am part of the business architecture group in a healthcare insurance organization. We are using Business Architecture Guild’s capability model for template for insurance and finding gaps because that model doesn’t address the specific of healthcare insurance. I want to connect with other LeanIX members who are in health insurance company AND are using capability model from Business Architecture Guild.I want to collaborate to understand how they are extending the Guild’s template model to address its gaps. For example, the Guild’s model doesn’t address Prior Authorizations or Member Enrollments. I’d love to understand how those are being addressed. Thanks

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.

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? 

Hi,I have a survey running with invitations sent to factsheet subscribers.In some cases the subscriber has changed meanwhile and I like the survey invitation sent to these new members.How can I get LEANIX to up date the recipients pool of the survey andresend the invitation to new members inform the old recipient that his task was shifted to another person? Thanks for a hintOlaf

hello, have searched this community but haven’t found any lead to understand if LeanIX is intuitive enough in terms of accessibility, and compliance with WCAG 2.2 AA level. Can anyone pls comment or guide me here? Kr, Deb.

How can you have your own default email message when inviting a new user?, I do not want to type in my own default message in the email each time.

Hi, Is there a way to document all the standard integration / middleware Design Patterns used in our enterprise?The idea here is to have a repository of all standard integration Design Patterns, so users can reference them. Thanks and regards,Satish Byali

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 Team,Our firm has a dedicated team helping roll out various AI agents/chatbots to provide various info upon request. I was wondering if there is any current (or future planned) offerings to allow a chatbot/agent connect to LeanIX and relay info to the firm. Example: Where an internal employee can ask something like the following: “Which systems depend on application X”, or “Is system X on prem or hosted in the cloud”. Ideally this data would be retrieved from LeanIX without the user logging in and relayed in via the chatbot. Is there any sort of API or existing integration which would support this capability? 

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?

Hi, We are having a challenge mappying our IT Components. The rational was:Application is linked to at least 3 IT Components, that would represent: Software (Software; SaaS, Paas)  Infrastructure (Hardware, IaaS) Services (Service) For example, if we are using a PaaS, and you want to describe the resources you are using, what IT Component subtype you would use? For example the following IT Components will be of what subtype?

Hello la communauté, Actuellement, nous utilisons la même factsheet “UserGroup” (on est encore en meta model V3), pour référencer l’organisation de l’entreprise et les rôles métiers de nos users, grâce à des subtypes :  Je souhaiterais connaître vos pratiques. Avez-vous :comme nous, mutualisé ces éléments dans un même type de factsheet (et joué avec les Subtypes) créé 2 factsheet complètement distinctes : l’une pour l’organisation, l’autre pour les rôles métiersSachant que le méta-model V4 semble aller sur une mutualisation : qu’est ce qui vous a poussé à aller dans un sens ou dans l’autre ? Merci pour vos lumières !! LeanIXment votre ! Gauthier

Hello all,  Quick question to the community: In a large internal community, I would like to validate how the users have personalized their Notifications settings (e.g. what options they have selected for each notification type), as well as be able to set (force) some “templates” by persona (e.g. if the user is Reponsible, the notifs on the fact sheet frequency should be Daily, if Observer then it should be Weekly, etc.). What would be the best approach to achieve this?

Application question: We are in the proces of analyzing our custom applications.Some are developed in python, others in Java, VBA, .NET or C#.How would you register the code base in such a way that you can report about all bespoke applications that are written in an obsolete language (VBA, .Net but also Kobol) come to mind.Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi LeanIX Community,We’re experiencing activation issues with one of our LeanIX clients due to their security system blocking LeanIX-related emails (e.g., workspace invites, password reset notifications).LeanIX Support informed us that these emails are sent via the Mailjet system, which uses the domain *.mailjet.com (e.g., bnc3.mailjet.com). While the IP address (hidden) is exclusive to SAP LeanIX, Mailjet’s use of multiple subdomains for email delivery complicates matters.The suggested solutions include:Configuring the client’s firewall or DLP to allow emails from the specific IP and *@mailjet.com. Setting up a custom SMTP server (https://docs-eam.leanix.net/docs/notifications-center#setting-up-a-custom-smtp-server-for-email-delivery).However, our client is highly security-conscious and reluctant to open their firewall for the *@mailjet.com domain due to its association with spam.Have other LeanIX users encountered similar challenges? If so, how have you managed to resolve them withou

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! :) 

Is there a way to introduce cycle relationships in LeanIX?I have a process that delivers data to another proces, then a new data set is transferred back to the first process.I added many to many relationships, but to no avail.

Hi All, Is there a quick way to visualize how data is related to certain business processes?Here’s what I did:I’ve created a Subtype of DataObject Fact sheet, called Business Object.This Business Object (Governance Structure in my case) is created in Process A, and then transferred to Process B, C and D. Thoses processes in turn use this Business Object as input for other business objects but also deliver feedback on that business object to Process A in some cases through several work procedures (Signavio).I am lost on how to create a Data Flow Diagram, as it only is possible to link data to applications from the Data Flow diagrams. How would y’all tackle this issue?

Hi all,I am looking for a tool (ideally integrated with LeanIX / APM) to analyze software usage on my organization. Any recommendations in this area?Alex

We believe creating these components as an application would be the most effective approach. However, given our current situation, we’re exploring alternative solutions. Managing over 60+ websites makes it challenging to continuously request licenses for adding more applications. What would be the best way to handle this scenario efficiently? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
