Hi there, Is there a way to export the model documentation in R12 (including the allocation line description) into word or other type of document? If I recall correctly, that functionality existed in earlier versions of Apptio (so early that the Apptio logo was still blue at the time). thanks!

Adi,

In the Data Quality Summary report there is a table for the Cost Allocations, this will show the allocations plus any user documentation that has been put into the the model for allocation lines.  In the previous version there was not anything that went to Word, but was where it could go to Excel.  

Cheers,

Ryan

Sorry to revive an old question, but it keeps appearing in response to searches on another topic, so I thought I would answer it.

There is/was/still is a big XML file containing your project configuration in R12, though the UI to access it is now gone. Given that Apptio CT lacks the ability to search through the model (i.e. to refactor the name of a column or table similar to trace precedents/dependents in Excel) the next best thing is to search through the XML file.

We wrote a basic XSLT transform to make it more human-readable as a web page and generated cross-linked documentation of table dependencies, formula references, etc. We shared the transform with our CSM in the interest of seeing something similar in the product, but have not heard anything since completing the refactor and closing our ticket.

Current and future readers may benefit from knowing that this exists and is possible!
