On-the-fly creation in SAP LeanIX refers to the functionality that allows a user to create a new Fact Sheet directly from a relation field within an existing Fact Sheet. When a user needs to establish a link to a Fact Sheet that does not yet exist, they can type the name of the new entity in the relevant field and create it instantly, without navigating away from their current screen. This process streamlines data entry and ensures that the data model can be populated contextually and efficiently as information becomes available. The new Fact Sheet is created and the relation to it is established simultaneously.

B. The real-time creation of fields: This is incorrect. Creating fields is an administrative action that modifies the data model itself and is not a standard user function performed "on-the-fly" during data entry.

C. Relations being created and deleted in real-time: This is too general. While relations are managed in real-time, the specific term "on-the-fly creation" refers to the creation of a new Fact Sheet object, not just the relation itself.

D. The process of duplicating existing section or fact sheet types: This describes cloning or templating, which are administrative configuration tasks, not a dynamic method for creating new Fact Sheet instances during regular use.

1. SAP Help Portal - SAP LeanIX Application Portfolio Management: In the section describing how to manage data

the documentation explicitly states: "To add a relation

go to the corresponding relation field... If the Fact Sheet you want to link to does not exist yet

you can create it on the fly. Simply type the name of the new Fact Sheet and click on the Create option."

referring to it as on-the-fly creation.
