Ensure accountability right from the fact sheet creation
We're enhancing the quality of data collected in fact sheets during their creation. When users manually create a fact sheet using the form, support is now added to ensure fundamental information is included. In addition to scaling up the creation form to the entire screen, it features two significant improvements:
More guidance with reference catalog content for application and IT component names in all workspaces
Mandatory subscriptions to establish accountability from the start
The fact sheet creation is guided step-by-step and, in contrast to before, starts with just the name of the future fact sheet, so even those not familiar with the meta model can create them. You can even share the new form directly with users via a dedicated URL.
In all workspaces, even without SAP LeanIX Technology Risk and Compliance, the first creation step shows recommendations for IT components from the reference catalog in a side pane with more space than before.
In the second step, after choosing a recommended reference item, a preview of the suggested fact sheet data helps to confirm the choice. If mandatory subscriptions are configured for the given fact sheet type, this step requires creators to fill in the subscribers to identify the stakeholders in your organization who can provide the baseline information on the new fact sheet later. Having the subscribers defined right from the beginning will benefit multiple capabilities and use cases of SAP LeanIX, like leveraging surveys.
If you require time to adapt to the new fact sheet creation form, admins can still opt out of the 'Fact Sheet Creation Form (Redesigned)' per workspace in the admin area's 'Optional Features & Early Access' section. We plan for the opt-out to be available until February 28, 2025, before it gets a default for all workspaces.
For the future, we are considering adding the ability to configure the form, as many of you have requested, and eventually create a guided application request workflow for IT demand management.
