Blueprint Mirroring

Blueprint Mirroring allows you to automatically reflect Blueprint membership between related items, such as users, applications, and devices. This feature helps maintain accurate Blueprint groupings when item relationships change.

There are six Blueprint Mirroring options:

Use Case

A user in the Finance department is added to the Finance Blueprint. The user is linked to an application. With Blueprint Mirroring enabled, the application is automatically added to the Finance Blueprint. This allows you to view all applications used within the Finance department using the Blueprint filters.

To view Finance Applications:

1. In Administration → Blueprints, enable Mirror User to App Blueprints on the Finance Blueprint.

2. The application linked to the user is automatically added to the Finance Blueprint.

3. To view all Finance Applications, use the Blueprints dropdown from the Segments ribbon:
   • Blueprints → Departments → Finance

Configuration

The following steps guide you through setting up Blueprint Mirroring to view all applications used by Finance department members.

Step 1: Create the Blueprint (if required)

If Blueprints are automatically created by a connector (e.g. Active Directory connector), this step is not required.

1. Navigate to Administration
2. Click Blueprints within Project Settings.

3. Click the Edit symbol in the root folder.
4. Select New Folder\Blueprints from the context menu.

5. Enter the Blueprint folder and name (e.g., Departments\Finance), then click OK.

Step 2: Add Users to the Blueprint (if required)

If users have been automatically added by a connector, this step is not required.

1. Switch to the All User Migrations view in the User Migration module.

2. Select the relevant Finance users.
3. Right-click and select Blueprints → Add to.
4. Choose the Finance Blueprint and click Add.

Step 3: Enable Blueprint Mirroring

1. Navigate to Administration → Blueprints within Settings.
2. Click the Edit symbol next to the Departments folder.
3. Select Mirror Folder Blueprint → Mirror User to App Blueprints → Toggle Mirror Add On/Off → This Folder.

   To remove mirroring, use Toggle Mirror Remove On/Off.

4. This setting ensures that when applications are linked or unlinked from users in the Finance Blueprint, those applications are automatically added or removed from the Finance Blueprint.

To apply the mirroring rules to existing application links, use the Apply Mirror Flags button in the toolbar.
