# Lifecycle Roadmap

After selecting the Lifecycle Roadmap from the context menu in the List View, the Lifecycle Roadmap Visualization opens in a new window.

**A** – Shows the icon and name of the Lifecycle Roadmap.

**B** – Shows all selected entries from the List View at the top level. Clicking on a name opens the Portfolio Element Form in a new browser tab.

**C** – Expanding the top level shows all related (via CI relationships) elements and the lifecycle information, if available.

**D** – Use the Class Filter to show or exclude a certain type of elements from the roadmap.

**E** – Indicator column showing the currently selected indicator. Use the indicator filter in the right panel (K) to show or hide elements with certain criteria.

**F** – Shows the lifecycle phase and color. Use the legend (K) filters to show or hide certain lifecycle dispositions. Elements entering the non-production stage end with a circle. Elements not entering the non-production stage display as infinite through an arrow to the right.

**G** – The usage lifecycle overlays on top of the lifecycle dispositions. It represents the earliest and latest stage of all usage lifecycles for a specific element. If no usage end date is defined, the usage lifecycle displays as infinite. Use the Usage Lifecycle filter in the legend panel (K) to show or hide usage lifecycles.

**H** – Elements without a defined lifecycle appear empty in the roadmap. Use the Show Empty Elements filter in the legend panel (K) to show or hide elements without a lifecycle.

**I** – Hold and move the circles in the timeline slider to adjust the time scale. The roadmap timeline starts with the earliest lifecycle start date of all elements (including related elements) and ends with the latest start date.

**J** – Marker showing today’s date.

**K** – Legend Panel showing different filters. Click the > icon to close or open the panel.
