Create a relationship

Drag an element from the picker onto the primary element.

With Freelucy open on your primary element, the canvas shows a single CI in the center with two connection points — a left circle for upstream and a right circle for downstream.

Step by step

  1. In the sidebar, click the Select table box.

  2. Type the name of the table that contains the element you want to map — for example, Portfolio Management.

  3. Pick the target element from the list. For hierarchical tables, expand to find the right one, or use the search box.

  4. Drag the element toward the primary element. An orange ring appears around the left circle, the right circle, or both — that's Freelucy showing you which connections are valid.

  5. Hover over the circle that matches the direction you want. It turns solid orange.

  6. If more than one relationship type is valid, a popup appears. Pick the one you want — for example, Conformant.

    Pick a relationship type from the popup
  7. Click Done.

The new connection appears as a dark blue line between the two elements. Dark blue means staged but not yet committed.
