Solution Manager

The central hub for managing which Power Platform solutions Cartographer crawls. Access it from the Cartographer app sidebar → Solution Manager.

Adding a Solution to Crawl

  1. 1

    Select a solution

    Use the dropdown to pick from all unmanaged and managed solutions in the environment.

  2. 2

    Choose a crawl frequency

    Options: Manual Only, Hourly, Every 6 Hours, Daily, or Weekly.

  3. 3

    Click "Add Solution"

    The solution appears in the Configured Solutions list and is ready to crawl.

Configured Solutions List

Each configured solution displays its name, unique name, crawl frequency, component count, health score, last crawl date, and last crawl status. Three action buttons are available for each solution:

Crawl Now

Triggers an immediate crawl of the solution, regardless of the configured schedule.

Export

Generates a report of the solution's components in CSV, JSON, XLSX, or DOCX format. See Exports below.

Remove

Deletes the solution configuration and all associated data — components, diagrams, user guides, and crawl logs. The confirmation dialog states how many records will be deleted and requires typing DELETE to confirm.

Solution Health

Each configured solution shows a health score out of 100, weighted by severity — a critical finding costs much more than a warning, and an informational observation costs nothing. The score shows its own derivation, so it's always clear why a solution scored the way it did.

For the full breakdown of findings behind a solution's score, open Compass.

Exports

Component data for a solution can be exported in four formats:

CSV

Flat, spreadsheet-friendly rows

JSON

Structured data for scripts and integrations

XLSX

Excel workbook

DOCX

A readable Word report, not a data dump

The DOCX export reads like a report rather than a table: a title, the generation date, a component count, then a heading per component type with each component's name and summary written out as prose.

Exports reflect the components already in Cartographer. Click Crawl Now first if you want the report to include the latest changes to the solution.

User Guides

The User Guides section lists all Model-Driven Apps discovered across your crawled solutions. For each app, you can:

  • Generate Guide — Create a new user guide for the app, built from the crawled component data
  • View — Read the generated guide in a modal overlay
  • Regenerate — Refresh an existing guide with the latest component data
Guides are generated deterministically from crawled metadata — the same guide content every time, until the underlying components change.
