Using the Nodinite Repository Model

Discover how the Nodinite Repository Model empowers you to document, visualize, and manage your system integration solutions and business workflows—all in one place. This guide shows you how to:

  • ✅ Centralize and standardize integration documentation
  • ✅ Visualize your integration landscape for better decision-making
  • ✅ Enable fast access to actionable data for all stakeholders
  • ✅ Enhance compliance and governance with CMDB features

Create and make use of documentation that matters!

With the Nodinite Repository Model, you document your system integrations and business workflows, then visualize them using the Integration Landscape feature. Design and document before you code! Leverage powerful features, including pre-defined properties and support for Mermaid diagrams.

Nodinite makes the association with Transport Contracts that you bind to one or more Services and Contracts.


Reports and sharing the data

All Data in the Nodinite Web Client comes from the Web API. You create Reports on the same set of data. If you have limited access in the Nodinite Web Client, you get the same limited data using the Nodinite Web API.

For example, use Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Power BI, or any other tool that works with JSON data. Copy the data address from the 'Copy API URL' button/dialogue.
Copy API URL
Here's an example of the Copy API URL button.

From the Copy API URL modal, choose to copy the address for either the current filtered result (what you see) or the unfiltered data (ALL).
