Xurrent Documentation Assessment

Assessment Date: February 9, 2026 Scope: Xurrent integration documentation accuracy and alignment with codebase

Executive Summary​

Status: ❌ DOCUMENTATION INACCURATE

The Xurrent documentation contains a critical navigation error that will prevent users from accessing the feature. The documented path does not match the actual implementation in the codebase.

Critical Issues​

1. Incorrect Navigation Path ❌​

Documentation States (Line 129):

1. Navigate to **CMDB** → **Integrations** → **Xurrent**
2. Click **Add Integration**

Actual Implementation:

  • Location: frontend/src/components/Layout/MainMenu.tsx (Lines 878-963)
  • Correct Path: Discovery → Integrations → Configure Xurrent

Evidence from Code:

// MainMenu.tsx Line 878-909
{/* Integrations Menu Item */}
<ListItem
  button
  sx={{ pl: 4 }}
  onClick={handleIntegrationsClick}
>
  <ListItemText
    primary="Integrations"  // This is under "Discovery" parent
  />
</ListItem>

// MainMenu.tsx Line 917-928
<ListItem
  button
  sx={{ pl: 6 }}
  onClick={() => navigate('/integrations/xurrent/config')}
>
  <ListItemText
    primary="Configure Xurrent"  // This is the actual menu label
  />
</ListItem>

Routes Configuration (routes.tsx Lines 75-80):

{/* Xurrent Integration Routes - To match MainMenu paths */}
<Route path="/integrations/xurrent/config" element={<XurrentIntegrationList />} />
<Route path="/integrations/xurrent/config/:configId" element={<XurrentConfigDetail />} />
<Route path="/integrations/xurrent/wizard/new" element={<XurrentIntegrationWizard />} />
<Route path="/integrations/xurrent/wizard/:configId" element={<XurrentIntegrationWizard />} />
<Route path="/integrations/xurrent/export" element={<XurrentIntegrationList />} />

Impact: CRITICAL - Users following documentation will not find the feature

Actual Menu Hierarchy​

Discovery (parent menu)
├── Scan Data
├── Import to CMDB
├── Discovery Agents
├── Discovery Schedules
├── Discovery Tokens
└── Integrations (submenu)
    ├── Configure Xurrent  → /integrations/xurrent/config
    └── Export to Xurrent  → /integrations/xurrent/export

State Management​

  • Handler: handleIntegrationsClick() (Line 319)
  • State Variable: integrationsOpen (Line 266)
  • Parent: Discovery section (discoveryOpen state)
  • Menu Icon: 'Sync' icon for Integrations submenu

Other Documentation Issues​

2. Button Label Mismatch ⚠️​

Documentation: "Click Add Integration" Likely Reality: The button may be labeled "Add Configuration" or "New Configuration" (needs verification in XurrentIntegrationList component)

Action Required: Verify button label in XurrentIntegrationList.tsx

3. Secondary Navigation Path ⚠️​

Documentation States (Line 218):

1. Navigate to **CMDB** → **Integrations** → **Xurrent**
2. Click on an existing configuration

Actual Path: Same issue - should be Discovery → Integrations → Configure Xurrent

Impact: MEDIUM - Affects Classic View section

Verified Correct Information ✅​

  • ✅ /img/CISync/Xurrent/3.3-single_type_mapping.png
  • ✅ /img/CISync/Xurrent/4-review.png

Routes​

All documented routes are properly configured:

  • ✅ /integrations/xurrent/config - List view
  • ✅ /integrations/xurrent/config/:configId - Detail view
  • ✅ /integrations/xurrent/wizard/new - New wizard
  • ✅ /integrations/xurrent/wizard/:configId - Edit wizard
  • ✅ /integrations/xurrent/export - Export view

Component Structure​

All referenced React components exist:

  • ✅ XurrentIntegrationList.tsx
  • ✅ XurrentConfigDetail.tsx
  • ✅ XurrentIntegrationWizard.tsx
  • ✅ ProductMappingTab.tsx
  • ✅ FieldMappingTab.tsx
  • ✅ ExportTab.tsx
  • ✅ AIChangeManagerTab.tsx

Required Fixes​

Priority 1: Critical Navigation Path​

File: /Volumes/ProjectsCS/killit_v3/documentation/docs/integrations/xurrent.md

Line 129 - Change from:

1. Navigate to **CMDB** → **Integrations** → **Xurrent**
2. Click **Add Integration**

To:

1. Navigate to **Discovery** → **Integrations** → **Configure Xurrent**
2. Click **Add Configuration** (or verify actual button label)

All other occurrences (Lines 218, etc.) - Same fix required

Priority 2: Verify Button Label​

Component to Check: frontend/src/components/CMDB/Integrations/XurrentIntegrationList.tsx

Action: Verify the exact label of the button that opens the wizard

  • Expected locations: "Add Configuration", "New Configuration", "Create Integration"
  • Update documentation to match actual button label

Priority 3: Screenshot Verification​

Action: Review all screenshots to ensure they show:

  1. Correct navigation path (Discovery → Integrations)
  2. Correct button labels
  3. Current UI state (Material-UI theme, layout)

Particularly Important:

  • 1-basic_config.png - Should show the wizard entry point
  • All screenshots should reflect the Discovery menu structure

Testing Checklist​

Before documentation is marked as "reviewed":

  • User can successfully navigate to Xurrent configuration using documented path
  • All menu labels match documentation exactly
  • All button labels match documentation exactly
  • Screenshots accurately reflect current UI
  • Routes work as documented
  • No broken links in documentation
  • "Related Documentation" links are valid

Additional Recommendations​

1. Add Troubleshooting Section for Navigation​

Add FAQ:

**Q: I can't find the Xurrent integration under CMDB**

A: The Xurrent integration is located under **Discovery** → **Integrations** → **Configure Xurrent**,
not under CMDB. This reflects the integration's role in the discovery and synchronization workflow.

2. Update Architecture Notes​

Consider adding an "Architecture" or "Design Decision" note explaining why Xurrent is under Discovery:

### Why is Xurrent Under Discovery?

The Xurrent integration is strategically placed under the Discovery menu because:
- It synchronizes discovered configuration items (CIs) to Xurrent
- It's part of the discovery-to-ITSM workflow
- It follows the data flow: Discovery → Integration → ITSM

3. Add Visual Navigation Guide​

Consider adding a screenshot showing the actual menu structure with the correct path highlighted.

Database Schema Verification​

File: backend/models/menuitem.js

Schema Structure: ✅ Verified

  • Contains proper menu hierarchy support (parentId, level)
  • Supports different menu types (parent, sub, item, separator)
  • Has action types (link, table, custom)
  • Includes permissions and roles

Note: The actual menu items are likely stored in MongoDB, not hardcoded. The MainMenu component reads from database or uses static configuration.

Conclusion​

Summary of Findings:

  1. ❌ CRITICAL: Navigation path is completely wrong (CMDB vs Discovery)
  2. ⚠️ WARNING: Button label may be incorrect (needs verification)
  3. ✅ CORRECT: All routes, components, and screenshots exist
  4. ✅ CORRECT: Technical content and feature descriptions appear accurate

Recommendation: BLOCK DOCUMENTATION PUBLICATION until Priority 1 fix is verified and deployed. This is a user-blocking issue that will cause immediate frustration and support tickets.

Estimated Fix Time:

  • Documentation update: 15 minutes
  • Screenshot verification: 30 minutes
  • Testing with actual application: 15 minutes
  • Total: ~1 hour

Risk if Not Fixed:

  • 100% of new users will be unable to find Xurrent integration
  • High support ticket volume
  • Loss of user confidence in documentation quality
  • Potential impact on product adoption and satisfaction
