Transpose from Data Linage or Workflow Builder to Solution Designer

As a technical designer I would like to import existing linage views or workflow builder graphs into solution designer.

When refactoring parts of Foundry we currently use linage to monitor and maintain our change and impact analysis. The last 10% would playout as follows.

  1. Build a Linage View/Workflow Builder of current state
  2. Import into solution designer with preloaded links to RIDS
  3. Use solution designer to plan out the expected changes
  4. Details like field changes, new objects etc could be planned around the existing solution presented
  5. Close the loop - saving the Solution Designer as an As-Built diagram

howdy!

did you get any traction on this?

Has workflow builder (https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/workflow-builder/overview) helped you with parts of this at all?

Workflow Builder and Data Linage - Are both amazing at looking at As Build.
This is great for increased understanding of current state.

Solution Designer - Is brilliant and doing design work.

The Missing link is the import of current build into solution designer… this would allow for rapid design work, starting from an ā€˜as build’ and documenting changes to be made.

Hello @mikem,

You can now important from Data Lineage to Solution Designer.
You can find the option in the middle when there is no graph yet, or top right of the screen (little ā€œimportā€ icon).

Hope that’s useful ! Keep us posted if you have more feedback :slight_smile:

Amazing…

Just checked this this morning. Data Linage to Workflow Builder… One Click. Done.

We are going to start using this straight away. This will enable us to design from As Build Linage views, quickly and easily.

I hope Solution Designer to Workflow Builder is heading our way as well…

This improvement is AWESOME.

Did you meant Data Linage to Solution Designer given the rest of the discussion ?
Not sure to understand what is your new workflow now :slight_smile:

Hi Vincent,

Tooo many applications… haha.

Sorry my first sentence should have read…

In the spirit of laziness only aspiring programers can hope for.

This is my Data linage:

This is my Solution Designer import

Is there a way i could have link types appear in solution designer upon import? (maybe toggle yes / no)

*also is there a way to connect groups with arrows on solution designer?
*also is there a way to free draw mark solution designer diagram?
