Change announcement: Make data collection faster with a survey experience rebuilt from the ground up

Being released in September, a rebuilt survey experience will make collecting architectural data from stakeholders faster, more reliable, and directly connected to your inventory.

The AI of your workspace's Enterprise Architecture Assistant will help you set up and scope surveys from a plain-language description and support recipients as they answer. On top of that, all stakeholder responses will be captured for review before being written back to the inventory, replacing the previous last-response-overwrites behavior. Surveys can also be automatically triggered by fact sheet events, such as a quality seal breaking or a fact sheet approaching end-of-life, helping keep data quality in check without manual campaigns. And because survey questions will always map directly to the meta model, there is no longer a separate configuration to maintain.

One thing to plan for: Information collected in surveys that does not have a corresponding entry in the meta model (basic questions) will need to be added to your meta model. We will provide guidance to help with this.

The new experience will run alongside the existing one until March 31, 2027, giving you time to get started with it at your own pace. Your historic survey data will always remain accessible, including a download option. Full documentation with more details will be available on the SAP Help Portal at launch.
