Bring an existing landscape into Atlas
Review source data and reconcile an import before using the model.
An import is not capped by an Atlas plan tier during Early Access. Review the mapping, validation results and your workspace access before importing the rest of the landscape.
Start with a small sample
Choose one area, such as the systems involved in a CRM replacement. Keep source identifiers where available. Agree which existing records to reuse and which owner can resolve duplicates or unfamiliar names. Use Your first landscape if you prefer to enter the first records manually.
Pick the source format
| Source | Atlas entry point | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Application inventory in Excel or CSV | Import from Excel/CSV | Review the available mapping and verify the sample against the inventory. |
| ArchiMate Model Exchange File | Import ArchiMate model | The importer sends supported elements to Verify for review. Check the summary for unsupported or skipped content. |
| draw.io diagram | Import draw.io diagram | Review the proposals for labelled shapes and connectors and resolve ambiguous names and directions. |
Open the Atlas import page in the target workspace. The available import methods depend on your workspace access. If your source is an export from another EA tool, confirm its file format and run a sample before planning the full migration.
Reconcile the result
- Compare a few source records with their Atlas fact sheets. Check identifiers, owners and lifecycle values.
- Check the direction of a known integration and trace the data it carries. Use the import summary to distinguish proposed relations from anything skipped or only counted.
- Check the relevant proposal or review surface and accept only the changes you can confirm. Then open the current model to see which records and links are actually present.
Retain the source file in its approved location so the people responsible can check it later. See Sources and evidence.
After a successful sample, use Onboard a landscape to establish ownership and reconcile the rest of the model.
