Creating a Technology
As is the case for applications, HOPEX IT Portfolio Management produces a technologies navigation tree, accessible in the Inventory tab of the ITPM desktop. The navigation tree displays the list of technologies and classes according to different criteria:
• All technologies of the repository
• Technologies outside portfolio (those not belonging to any inventory portfolio)
• Technologies of the connected user portfolio
This display corresponds to the "List" view. A hierarchical view of the
Inventory tab is also available; it presents technologies according to their type and supplier.
To create a Technology:
1. On the desktop, click the navigation menu, then Inventory.
2. In the navigation pane, click the All Technologies folder.
The list of technologies appears in the edit area.
3. Click the New button.
4. In the dialog box that appears, indicate:
• its name
• the owner library
• the editor
5. Click OK.
When a technology is created in
HOPEX IT Portfolio Management, a workflow is automatically started and a validation request sent to the Technology Manager, who defines the enterprise Standard. See
"Validating a Technology".
