Systems Inventory

One of four core inventories in IDA

The Systems Inventory captures all source systems referenced in your SDLC documentation — from IT-managed platforms to spreadsheets and reports. AI agents extract this metadata automatically, building a comprehensive view of your data landscape.

How Records Get Here

Systems are extracted from your documents by specialized AI agents, or added manually by your team

System Inventory Agent

AI-powered extraction

The agent reads classified documents and extracts system references, creating structured inventory records automatically.

Processes these document types:

Business RequirementsTechnical SpecificationsData DictionariesSystem Reports

Batch Processing

Process multiple documents in one click

Human in the Loop

Manual entry & review

Data stewards, contractors, and employees can add systems directly or review and approve agent-extracted records.

Human actions:

Add records manually
Edit existing data
Approve pending items
Remove duplicates

Full Control

Every AI suggestion requires human approval

Quality Indicator

Trust Scores

Every record carries a trust score based on its source document maturity level. High-maturity documents (like approved Technical Specifications) produce higher-trust inventory records.

High Trust

From approved specs, signed-off requirements

Medium Trust

From draft documents, work-in-progress specs

Low Trust

From informal docs, emails, early drafts

Approval Workflow

From Pending to Production

Records start as "pending" and must be approved before they are used in downstream processing like lineage generation

Use

Ready for lineage

Lineage

Connected to pipelines

Setting a record action to "Use" enables it for downstream processing — combining systems with pipelines to generate data lineage charts.
