Zurich	Application rationalization page enhancements View business application bubbles whose X and Y-axis values are within the value range of +/-0.25 of each other as a grouped bubble. The grouped bubble displays the total number of business application bubbles that it contains. This grouping helps in clearing the clutter on bubble chart when there are too many business applications with similar values. For details, see Bubble chart view of application rationalization. Zoom in, zoom out, or pan on the Bubble chart page using either on-screen buttons or by using a mouse device or trackpad interactions. For details, see Bubble chart view of application rationalization. View the calculation logic behind the total number of business applications displayed on the Bubble chart page. For details, see Bubble chart view of application rationalization. Select a single bubble on the Bubble chart page to view the associated business application details. Select a grouped bubble to view the list of business applications that are part of that grouped bubble. For details, see Bubble chart view of application rationalization. View actual scores of business applications and compare them with their normalized scores. For details, see List view of application rationalization. Increased maximum number of bubbles displayed on the Bubble chart to 500. Apply the fiscal period filter to filter and view business applications for a specific fiscal period. Apply the application rationalization filters to filter and view specific business applications on the bubble chart or list view page. An indicator is displayed on top of the filter icon to show the number of filters currently applied. View the business application technical debt indicator score on the application rationalization list view page. On the application rationalization bubble chart view page, you can use the TRM technical debt indicator to form the bubble size based on the indicator score. Export the list view of application rationalization data to Excel or CSV file format. You can use the data to obtain insights, share with stakeholders, and prepare for analysis.
