Navigating SAP LeanIX
In the following table, you can find an overview of the main UI elements within the SAP LeanIX application.
| UI Element | Overview | Additional Information and Resources |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboards tab | Your entry point to the SAP LeanIX workspace is the dashboard. The dashboard offers a centralized overview of important metrics, performance indicators, and relevant information within a workspace. It comes with several predefined dashboard panels that provide real-time views of data and user reports, charts, and widgets. The dashboard presents information in a visually appealing way. The primary purpose of a dashboard is to help stakeholders monitor the performance of the architecture, communicate effectively with each other, and make better, data-driven decisions. | Dashboards |
| Inventory tab | The inventory is a centralized repository that stores and organizes information about all architectural elements in the form of fact sheets. Each architectural object, such as application, business capability, organization, and more, is represented by fact sheets that store relevant information. The inventory is the place where you can create and edit fact sheets. You can search and filter fact sheets based on your requirements using the left-side pane. You can navigate to a fact sheet by selecting it. | Inventory |
| Reports tab | Reports allow you to generate default and custom visual reports based on your enterprise architecture data. These reports provide insights, analysis, and visualization of the architecture, enabling data-driven decision-making and effective communication. | Reports |
| Diagrams tab | Diagrams are advanced features typically used by enterprise architects to create visualizations of data flows and to visualize complex architecture by breaking it down into smaller scopes. Like reports, diagrams are also a great tool for effectively presenting data to various stakeholders. | Diagrams |
