# Manage suggested relationships

Suggested Relationships are the rules that tell Freelucy *which* relationship types are valid between *which* classes. They drive two things:

* The **dropdown of target tables** that appears when a user opens Freelucy on a CI.
* The **list of permitted relationship types** when the user drags one element onto another.

If a class pair has no suggested relationship defined, Freelucy will not let users connect them. This is intentional — it's how Freelucy enforces your CSDM and metamodel governance.

***

## Open the Suggested Relationships table

From the application navigator, go to **Relationships → Suggested Relationships**.

You'll see every rule currently in effect. Each row is a triple: a base class, a relationship type, and a dependent class.

***

## Create a new suggested relationship

1. Click **New** on the Suggested Relationships table.
2. The new-record form opens.

3. Fill in:
   * **Base class** — the class on the upstream side.
   * **Relationship** — the relationship type from `cmdb_rel_type`.
   * **Dependent class** — the class on the downstream side.
4. Save.

The rule is now active. Users opening Freelucy on a record of the base class will see the dependent class in the picker, and the chosen relationship type will be available when they connect them.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Direction matters.** Suggested Relationships are directional. If you want users to be able to map both ways between two classes, define two rules — one for each direction.
{% endhint %}
