Custom fields and dynamic filters

Advanced customization for your maps

Carto-SI’s custom fields and dynamic filters are much more than just features: they transform your data into usable information tailored to your priorities. Designed to adapt to a variety of use cases, they enable you to customize your mapping and optimize your analyses, even in the most complex environments.

Tailor your mappings to your specific challenges

Every organization is unique, and custom fields are designed to meet this diversity of needs. Here are just a few examples of the features we’ve implemented to meet these needs:

1. Analysis of applications by department
   A function has been set up to associate each application with an internal department (Marketing, Finance, HR) via customized fields. This enriches the mapping with relevant information and provides a targeted view for prioritizing actions, such as updating critical applications or managing duplication between departments.
2. Criticality management to prioritize actions
   A custom field has been used to assess the criticality of applications and systems, providing a clear view of which elements require priority resources. This feature has made it possible to plan strategic operations, such as critical server migrations, without interrupting current operations.
3. Resource lifecycle tracking
   Another feature includes the creation of fields to indicate the operational status of resources (pre-production, production, out-of-service). This makes it easier to plan audits, updates and analyses based on the asset lifecycle.

These fields can be modified, added or adjusted as systems evolve, ensuring that mapping is always aligned with strategic priorities.

Dynamic filters for fast, targeted exploration

With the growing volume of data, it’s essential toisolate the relevant information quickly. Dynamic filters provide an effective response to this need, with concrete examples of use cases:

1. Pre-production system insulation
   A function allows you to filter applications according to their environment (pre-production, production). This facilitates the planning and monitoring of production releases, guaranteeing smooth deployment management.
2. Targeted analysis of dependencies and specific problems
   A dynamic filter has been implemented to quickly isolate dependencies between systems, such as those between databases and applications. This helps to solve problems more quickly, by identifying the exact configurations involved.
3. Focus on mission-critical applications
   Another example is to filter and display only critical applications, in order to analyze their performance or operational status. This ensures that priority actions are implemented without wasting time.

These filters are fully adaptable, enabling instant and always up-to-date results, even in complex and constantly changing environments.

Concrete benefits for your teams and operations

By combining custom fields and dynamic filters, Carto-SI offers solutions that deliver tangible benefits:

• Flexibility: A solution that adapts to your internal processes and changing priorities.
• Operational efficiency: The ability to focus resources on the most relevant actions, saving time and effort.
• Informed decisions: A clear and precise view of the data to act quickly and efficiently.

Example of functionality implemented: analyze applications by department

To meet the needs of organizations with complex internal structures, a solution was implemented enablingeach application to be tagged with the owning department using custom fields. The associated dynamic filters offer targeted analysis possibilities, such as :

• Show only applications used by a department, such as Marketing.
• Isolate critical applications for this department and plan their maintenance or updating.
• Exclude irrelevant applications to focus on the essentials.

This type of functionality provides a precise view and facilitates decision-making. For example, a team can plan a critical update for a marketing application while keeping other departments informed.

Strategic leverage for your information system

Carto-SI’s custom fields and dynamic filters are designed to maximize the flexibility and efficiency of your analyses. They enable you to structure your data, simplify the management of complex systems and focus on what really matters.

These functionalities are not just tools, but strategic pillars for modern, high-performance management of your information systems.
