  Architectural artifacts describe a system, solution, or state of an enterprise. The Architectural artifacts in Enterprise Architecture (formerly APM) enable Enterprise Architects to create and manage the artifacts used in their organization.
• Create related entities form
  Enterprise Architecture (formerly APM) enables the Enterprise Architects to associate an architectural artifact to existing elements in the ServiceNow AI Platform, such as business capabilities or business applications. These associations creates a relationship between the artifact and related entities.
• Architectural category form
  Architectural category enables Enterprise architects to categorize and manage artifacts efficiently.
• Architectural artifacts version form
  Enterprise Architecture (formerly APM) enables Enterprise architects to create multiple versions of architectural artifacts and send for approval. There can be only one approved version for each artifact.
• Create diagram form for business application
  An Enterprise architect can create a diagram using Lucidchart for a business application hierarchy and associate it with an architectural artifact.
• Create diagram for a business capability
  An Enterprise architect can create a diagram using Lucidchart for a business capability maps and associate it with an architectural artifact.
• Demand form to retire an application
  An Enterprise Architecture (formerly APM) user can raise a request to retire an application if the application is no longer in use.
• Request Architecture Review form
  Enterprise Architecture (formerly APM) users can request the architecture review board to review a new architecture design proposal based on the technology of a business application.
• Indicator form
  Application indicators are business metrics that assess the applications across dimensions such as cost, quality, technical risk, investments, user satisfaction, and business value.
• Scoring Profile form
  Create an application scoring profile and update the default application profile with new profile indicators as per business requirements.
• Scheduled Script Execution form
  The script to recalculate the scores of all indicators, the scoring profiles to which these indicators are attached, and the business applications that are associated to these scoring profiles.
• Select Chart Dimensions form
  This form helps to change the configurations of a bubble chart.
• Application bubble chart form
  A bubble chart helps the admin to compare and evaluate the relative standing of application in selected categories.
• Goal form
  Use the Goal form to create goals for your organizational strategic priorities.
• Update Goal form
  After assessing the applications and deciding on strategies, an admin can update goals to maximize or minimize depending on the indicators for the selected fiscal period.
• Demand form
  Use a demand as a step to identify cost saving opportunities on the applications or capabilities and to meet the target. The strategy that you associate with the demand action decides the strategy for the application.
• Program form
  Create a program, link it to the goal that you created, and associate a program manager to the program. After you create a goal, you should have a program to achieve the goal that you created.
• Goal Contribution Target form
  The Program Navigation page guides you in setting a goal target for the fiscal years to achieve the goal.
• Business capability form
  Business Capability is a common table used within the Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management) application.
• Business capability record form
  Create a root-level capability, add a child capability to a parent, edit a capability, and delete a leaf capability, and manage the relationships between the capabilities in the capability map.
• Application Service Hardware Models form
  Track your equipment assets such as computers and servers using hardware models.
• Application Service Software Model form
  Business applications have multiple instances such as development, QA, and production. Instances are nothing but application services. Hence application services must be associated with software models (to the respective full versions) to know the risk of the application service.
• Risk Parameter form
  Risk Parameter is a common table used within Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management) application.
• TRM product form
  As a member of the Enterprise Architect group, you can add a Technology Reference Model (TRM) product to the TRM library.
• Request TRM product form
  The Request TRM product form is used for adding or editing a request to include a new software or hardware product to the Technology Reference Model (TRM) library.
• TRM Product Request using catalog form
  The TRM Product Request using catalog form is used to add or edit a request for including a new software or hardware product to the Technology Reference Model (TRM) library.
• TRM Product Lifecycle Request form
  The TRM Product Lifecycle Request form is used for adding or editing a request to create a lifecycle for a Technology Reference Model (TRM) product.
• TRM Category form
  Add a new request or edit an existing request to create a TRM category.
• TRM Phase form
  Define your own TRM phase or edit an existing TRM phase.
• Data Domain form

• Information Objects form
  An information object captures the logical data for the business application.
• Add relationship form
  Relate a business application to an information object using the CI relationship [cmdb_rel_ci] table of type Uses::Used by. Use this suggested relationship to get the logical data of the information object to leverage a business application.
• Status of the Software models
  An application owner can run the software model suggestions engine to fetch software models. These models can be related to an application service instead of mapping them manually. Every application service displays the status after they are mapped.
• Date conditions
  A maintenance user can configure Date range for the lifecycle phases.
• Quick start tests for Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management)
  Validate that Enterprise Architecture still works after you make any configuration changes, such as applying an upgrade or developing an application. Copy, customize, and pass these quick start tests when using your instance-specific data.
