Thanks for your feedback! I'm not very proud of the data input in the sidebar as well (especially when there is also a scrollbar).

Let me illustrate a bit what my motivation was:

Q: What is the goal of the application?

A: The goal of this application for me personally is to communicate the impact of IT maintenance towards product managers and the rest of the team, in a language that they understand (which is table and architecture diagram).

Q: What is the benefit of having the diagram?

A: Personally, a diagram helps me to understand things better than a big Excel sheet would.

Q: Maybe I'm misunderstanding the purpose but to me it seems like the main output from this software is the "maintenance table", but how do the pointers/diagram help instead of just having a dropdown in the table?

A: You're exactly getting it. The goal is the "maintenance table". I draw the IT architecture diagram (which is how I think about IT in my head), then add periodic tasks to them (maintenance plans), and then it renders the maintenance table automatically. I guess you could also just make a big Excel sheet?
