EA Workspace, Application Rationalization list view modification

[jbaumann3]

Hi- I'm looking for details of where we can configure which business application columns should appear in the List view in Application Rationalization module in EA Workspace.  We can select/deselect some items but not all ootb items are available to display.  Specifically we want to add planned disposition date so when we use that workspace and filter on bus apps that we are planning to migrate we can see the disposition date information.  We'll likely want to display target business app and reasoning.  Looking for guidance on what drives what's available to select.  The EA Workspace filter on business app doesn't match the fields available to select from.  Any guidance would be appreciated.

Greetings @jbaumann3. Looks like this is configured within the AppRationalizationMetaData (Script Include) specifically within the private function "_baseColumnConfig". 

To get to this Script Include, go to All > System Definition > Script Includes. 

Within this table, search for "AppRationalizationMetaData". Please note, this record has a Medium Risk associated with making any changes. 

I hope this information is helpful!

This is something that drives me mad about Workspaces. At the barest minimum the ability to configure list layouts (outside of the regular list section, or "Portfolio" in the case of EA Workspace) should be baseline functionality. It makes a mockery of technical governance if you have to customise a baseline script include just to change a list layout! There's a "personalise" button in the side panel - how easy would it be to add a configure columns button??

Workspaces should be easily configurable without customisation and without having to dig around in UI Builder, which is at best painful if it's not your speciality. The classic interface may be less visually attractive but it is SO much easier to configure and extend.

Hi,

I agree with your expectation here. Personlising list layout to include additional columns should be simple end user level configuration just like platform list. 

However unlike normal list, Rationalisation list is pivot view of Business Application and respective indicator values for selected fiscal period. Hense the column values are being fetched from multiple db tables. Thats is the primary reason, simple column configuration doesn't work here. 

However we will review any non-customisation way of achiving this configuration as product enhancements.
