Improvements

New users opening a business question like What are our architecture dependencies? or How will IT failure impact our business? for the first time will see a message explaining that a mandatory filter must be set in order to see data in the view. It appears only the first time a view with a mandatory filter is opened, provided no filter has been previously set. The message provides immediate clarity so that users no longer have to second-guess why no data is shown.

A new Relations button in the toolbar of most content areas now provides direct access to the Asset Relations view, a comprehensive overview of an asset’s key relationships within the IT architecture. Clicking the button triggers a targeted query for this specific report, resulting in significantly improved performance. Previously, Asset Relations reports were embedded and loaded implicitly within content areas, which had a noticeable impact on overall product performance.

The user profile Resource Manager now offers clearer, richer information about offered and requested resources, making collaboration across teams and organizations more transparent. The bar charts Resource Planning by Skills and Resource Planning by Team bar charts have been optimized so that users can navigate to data workbenches that clarify who is offering a skill and who has been requested to provide a skill to another organization. Also, the Resource Analysis page now provides more seamless and efficient filter usability.

The layout of the views Applications Over Time - Chart and Applications Over Time - Table has been changed to show the entire width of each view so that no data is truncated. The data is easier to read and understand at first-glance and requires no extra horizontal scrolling as you carry out trend analysis and assess the financial impact of your rationalization activities.

Contract management capabilities are now more flexible with the addition of the data workbenches Contract Item and Contract Deliverables to the Contract and Contract Items content areas. The new data workbenches provide all features of the data workbench to slice-and-dice your data to focus on your contracts and do the analyses you are interested in.

The business question Which contracts should we review? has been updated and the caption of the report has been changed to Application and Component Contracts to enhance user guidance and improve clarity around report interactions.

The Data-Triggered Action Rules view available for administrative users has been updated to a hierarchical layout, making it easier to see which data-triggered actions are associated with each class. The dataset is structured based on the hierarchy that shows the levels 1) target class, 2) data-triggered action rule, and 3) data-triggered action.

To streamline cost configuration, the Currencies view has been moved to the Cost Management section in the navigation panel of the Portfolio Admin user profile, consolidating all cost management configurations in one place.

The Clear Database function available to administrative users has been revised to ensure that audit tables are cleaned and the instance counter set to 1.

The classes HorizzonClassMap, HorizzonClassRelationMap, HorizzonClassAttributes, and HorizzonClassAttributeEnums have new Alfabet REFSTR-based properties to link the Horizzon Integration classes. The REFSTR properties are populated via the ADIF scheme Horizzon Integration ConnectMappingDefinition at the time of schema import.
