Glossary

The terms used throughout the Freelucy documentation.

Primary element The record you opened YouDesign Freelucy from. Every view centers on it, and you map relationships from it.

Upstream and downstream The two directions a relationship can point. Freelucy keeps the two sides separate so the direction of every relationship is always clear.

View One of the three ways to see and edit a record: Classic, Flow, and List. All three edit the same record and share the same staged changes.

Data Hub The drawer you source records from to relate to your primary element. Search suggested tables, browse a record tree, and add records by click or drag. See Find records with the Data Hub.

Stage To make an edit in Freelucy without writing it to ServiceNow yet. Adds, updates, and removals are all staged first.

Commit To write your staged changes to ServiceNow as a single batch, after reviewing them. See Commit your changes.

Discard To drop every staged change and refetch the record as it is stored in ServiceNow.

Update To move a relationship to the other side, upstream or downstream, or to change its relationship type.

Relationship type The kind of relationship between two records, drawn from your CSDM, such as Depends on or Hosted on. Freelucy offers only the types your metamodel allows for a given pair.

Suggested relationships The administrator-defined set of relationship types that are valid between which classes. They determine what users are allowed to create. See Manage suggested relationships.

Editor and Reader roles The two Freelucy roles. Editors can create, update, delete, and commit. Readers open Freelucy in read-only mode. See Grant access to users.

Read-only mode How Freelucy appears to a Reader. The record is fully browsable across all views, but editing and commit actions are not available.
