Overview

Where an item such as a user is linked to another item, such as an application, it may be useful to "mirror" the Blueprints between the two items. 

There are six types of Blueprint Mirroring available:

Use Case

A user in the Finance department has been added to the Finance Blueprint. They have used one application, hence a link exists between the user and that application. 

There is a requirement to view all the "Finance Applications". 

1) In Administration > Blueprints, the "Mirror User to App Blueprints" feature will be used on the Finance Blueprint

2) The application is automatically added to the Finance Blueprint

 3) The "Finance Applications" can now be viewed by using the Blueprints dropdown from Segments in the ribbon:

• Blueprints > Departments > Finance

Configuration

Example: There is a requirement to view all the applications used by members of the Finance department.
