Hi

We are trying to model our digital portfolio in Essential Viewer. Settled on creating them as applications as this allows us to capture and present most of the information that is stored on the spreadsheet we are trying to replace

Struggling with how to model the 'dev stack' used on a website e.g. .Net, Javascript, JQuery, NPM, SASS, Gulp etc - ideally these would all be reusable components so we are able to see which websites use JQuery etc.

How is best to do this? Could do them as applications as well and gather what exactly each thing does via Application Service, plus use integrations to capture which website uses them

Any suggestions welcome

Hi,

In terms of modelling, we would suggest capturing the likes of Javascript, .NET and JQuery as Technology Products mapped to Technology Components (i.e. Javascript as Programming Language, .NET as Application Runtime, JQuery as Javascript Development Framework) and then map apps to them.

Have you got Launchpad? if not send us an email and the team will send it to you. If you get that then use the technology sheets to capture the above and use the App to Tech worksheet to map the Apps to the tech.

Hi John

Thanks for that, makes perfect sense.

Yes we have launchpad and have used to that to play around with modelling this as described which have been able to do which is great

How do we then view this? Ideally would see all the Technology Products / Components mapped to each website - we are currently recording a website as a Composite Application Provider, is this correct? Or should we record as Technology Product?

Would be great to see that for website A, the dev stack is Javascript as Programming Language, .NET as Application Runtime, JQuery as Javascript Development Framework etc. Also then look at it from the other angle to say that Javascript as Programming Language is used for websites A, B, D, G etc

Cheers

Hi James

For the application/website perspective, use the Application Technology Strategy Alignment view,

For the product perspective, use the Technology Product Catalogues, depending as your starting point, then select the summary - that will tell you the related apps
