[!TIP] Use the bulk import feature (Inventory → Import) if you have an existing application list in a spreadsheet.

Step 3 — Connect Objects with Relationships

  1. Open an object detail page
  2. In the Relationships tab, click Add Relationship
  3. Search for the target object and choose a relationship type
  4. Click Save

Step 4 — Build a Diagram

  1. Go to Diagrams in the sidebar
  2. Click New Diagram and choose a type (e.g., Application Landscape)
  3. Drag objects from the Explorer panel onto the canvas
  4. Draw relationships by clicking a source object handle and dragging to a target

Step 5 — Explore Reports
