Here's the outlook for June 2024:

Build a compelling story with presentations

From the first week of June, you can create a presentation of your architecture reports and diagrams directly within LeanIX.

Sharing a combination of reports and diagrams that visualize a specific aspect of your IT landscape from various angles together in one presentation helps gain and maintain stakeholder involvement. Previously, this required exporting the visualizations as images into slides or other applications.

With the presentations feature, you can combine reports and diagrams of any type in a presentation and specify their order for easily accessible insights and data analysis, enhancing the enterprise architecture experience. You can annotate each slide before or during the presentation, switch to a full-screen view, and share it directly in LeanIX to increase executive adoption.

Better organize and navigate dashboards 

Dashboards are your users' entry point into your organization's IT landscape. They help them focus on specific use cases or get an overview of certain architectural areas.

In support of the dashboards' central role, we will change the navigation to and between them to provide a better dashboard experience consistent with other areas of LeanIX. Introducing the left side pane with a structure similar to reports and diagrams enables users to organize their dashboards, effortlessly access the most relevant ones, and have more control over dashboard visibility.

In this initial release, the side pane will feature two sections:

• Dashboard overview: this leads to an overview of all dashboards, including pre- and user-defined

• Personal: Filtered dashboards to just those created by, shared with, and recently used by the logged-in user

Further releases in the next two months will add user-specific default dashboards and the collections known from reports and diagrams to categorize multiple dashboards in meaningful groups.

Search for filters by attribute names

The inventory's filter panel contains a list of selectable fact sheet attributes, which are a mix of visible and hidden filters. Clicking on 'Manage Filters' allows users to select the visible filter attributes. In June, we will update the 'Manage Filters' section with the ability to search for fact sheet attributes by name. Results will be shown in dedicated sections for the visible and hidden filters and sorted the list alphabetically, making it consistent with the 'Add Columns' feature in the inventory table view.

Survey creation by non-admin users

Following feedback from the early adopter phase on the capability for non-admin users to create surveys, we've postponed the release to June to add further functionality to the initially planned survey creation workflow.

With the release, we will relocate the surveys to the 'Collaboration' tab in the main navigation bar to democratize survey creation.

This shift aims to empower users, based on permissions, to manage ongoing surveys, participate in them, and initiate new ones. At the same time, we'll

• introduce an enhanced full-screen interface offering a more spacious environment for survey design.

• provide a new permission setting in the admin area's 'User Roles' to give designated user roles access to the survey editor. By default, the permission will only be assigned to the administrators. This initial release will still need to include fine-grained permissions.

• leverage generative AI to let you dynamically generate the survey invite based on the survey content. This requires activating the base AI capabilities.

• apply the email design of to-do reminders to survey invites, including a central call to action button replacing the conventional URL.
