Factory Lens is a secure, read-only Forge component for OutSystems 11 that collects and exposes factory metadata through REST APIs. It helps teams understand how applications are structured and connected by providing dependency analysis, integration visibility, application inventory, and user/role metadata for governance and assessment purposes.

The component supports:

• module dependency discovery
• element-level dependency details
• REST and SOAP consumed/exposed integrations
• application and factory inventory metadata
• user, role, and access information
• governance and ownership analysis
• generation of assessment maps and reporting artifacts

Factory Lens is designed to support architecture discovery, dependency mapping, governance reviews, and visual assessment of an OutSystems factory, all through read-only API access using x-api-key authentication.
