List view of application rationalization

As an Enterprise Architect, you can view the list of all business applications.

The List view enables you to see high-level information on all your business applications and all the indicator scores that are attached to them.

You can also create your own application indicators to analyze business applications in the list view. For information on how to create custom application indicators, see Add or edit an application indicator. The new custom indicators appear as new columns in the list view.

Note:

• The created indicator must also be attached to the default application profile. For information on how to attach new profile indicators with a scoring profile, see Attach a profile indicator with an application scoring profile.
• If the created indicator isn’t displayed in the bubble size list, ensure that the indicator is active. For information on how to activate an indicator, see Activate or turn off an application indicator.

You can select the name of a business application to open it and view its associated details. Also, you can select the expand row icon () to see the demands and projects associated with that business application. On selecting a demand or a project, its details are displayed. You can modify business application details and its associated demand and project details, as required.

Note:

You need Enterprise Architecture Workspace plugin version 2.2.0 to view the Application Rationalization page.

All the indicator scores are displayed according to the latest fiscal period, by default. The latest fiscal period is derived from the apm_app_indicator_score list. The duration of a fiscal period is derived from the system property com.glide.fiscal_calendar.fiscal_unit.

You can perform the following from the list view:

• Edit business application details
• Create a demand for a business application
• Set the planned disposition of a business application
• Add the business application lifecycle data
