Inspect, navigate, and share

Inspect a relationship type, jump to a connected element, and share the canvas.

Beyond create / remap / delete, Freelucy gives you a small set of utilities for inspecting what's on the canvas, navigating between connected elements, and sharing the result.


Inspect a relationship type

Hover your cursor over the line connecting two elements. A popup describes the relationship — including which direction it goes and the relationship type from your CSDM.

Hover a connection to see its relationship type

Use this to confirm what's there before remapping or deleting.


Open the form view of an element

To open the underlying ServiceNow form for any element on the canvas:

  1. Right-click the blue circle next to the element (the primary element's circles or any connected element's circle).

    Right-click a primary element circle
  2. Choose Open Form from the popup.

For a connected element specifically:

Right-click a connected element

Jump to a connected element

To recenter the canvas around one of the connected elements — making it the primary element so you can map its relationships:

  1. Right-click the blue circle of the connected element.

    Jump to a connected element
  2. Choose Jump to.

The connected element becomes the primary element. You can now map upstream and downstream relationships from it.


Reposition the sidebar

The Relationship Editor sidebar can move. Drag its header (the strip labeled Relationship editor) to dock it on the left or float it anywhere on the canvas.

Repositioning the sidebar

Filter the canvas by table

As you add relationships, the Filter view in the sidebar lists every table that has elements on the canvas. The number to the right of each table is the count of elements you've connected from that table.

Filter the canvas by table
  • Hide a table — uncheck the box.

  • Hide everything — click Hide All.

  • Show everything — click Show All.

Filtering only changes what you see — it doesn't change what's committed.


Switch between horizontal and vertical layout

By default the canvas is horizontal. To switch to a vertical layout, click the arrows icon in the options panel. Click again to flip back.

Toggle between horizontal and vertical layout

Share the canvas

You have two ways to share what's on the canvas.

Share as a PNG

Click the image icon in the options panel. Freelucy downloads a PNG of the current canvas to your computer.

Download a PNG of the canvas

The PNG includes everything on the canvas, including staged edits that haven't been committed yet.

Click the share icon in the options panel. You get a read-only link to the canvas.

Share a read-only canvas link
circle-exclamation
circle-info

PNG vs link. The PNG shows everything on the canvas including uncommitted edits. The shared link only shows committed relationships.
