Zengines Assist - Module Summaries
Zengines Assist Module Summaries give a plain-English explanation of a legacy program module without reading the entire source first. They complement deterministic Explore data—the counts, SQL, and variable trees on the Modules tab stay the source of truth.
Where to find it
- Open Explore → Modules tab.
- Select a module to open its detail view.
- Click Summary.

Summary and Tell Me More
|
Step |
What you get |
|---|---|
|
Summary (first run) |
Short business functional summary—what the program does in terms a BA or architect can scan quickly |
|
Tell Me More |
Expanded program analysis with more depth |
Expanded content typically covers themes such as:
- Functional / business view — Outcomes and rules relevant to non-developers (similar in spirit to the first summary, with more detail)
- Technical view — Variables, data lineage, inputs and outputs (tables and files), and core processing steps
- Processing and controls — Mainline logic, validations, and error handling where the parser surfaced it
Exact section labels may vary by release; use Tell Me More when the initial paragraph is not enough.
Hyperlinks in summaries
AI text includes links to tables, fields, variables, and jobs touched by the module. Click through to Explore to validate paths or continue edge-to-edge tracing.
When to use Zengines Assist - Module Summaries
- The module has many table or file interactions and you want orientation first.
- You are onboarding to an unfamiliar program name from Ask a Lineage Question.
- You need language for a workshop or migration scope document—then confirm facts in Explore.
Regenerating Summary may produce different wording; deterministic metrics in Explore do not change until ingestion updates.
