The Luklak Glossary: A Complete Guide to System Terminology
A comprehensive glossary of all key terms in the Luklak platform, organized by architectural concept from the Foundation to daily Operations.
Welcome to the official Luklak Glossary. This document is the single source of truth for all terminology used across the platform. Understanding these concepts is the key to mastering Luklak’s unique and powerful architecture.
Phase 1: The Foundation (Global & Governance)
These terms relate to the system-wide setup and permission layers that form the bedrock of your Luklak instance. They are typically managed in Global Settings.User Account
An account for an individual person who can sign in and perform work.
Functional Account
A non-human technical account used exclusively for running
Universal Automation rules securely.Group
A collection of
User Accounts (e.g., “Sales Team”) used for efficient permission management.Role
A named definition of a user’s function within a process (e.g., Approver, Manager). Roles are used in Permission Schemes to define what a user can do.
Business Privilege
A user’s system-wide authority level; their “entry ticket.” The four levels are Owner, Admin, App Manager, and Member.
Item Access Control
The granular permission system that controls who can view, use, edit, or manage a specific “Item” (like a
Function or Dashboard).Global Settings
The central administration area for configuring system-wide settings like users, groups, and global components.
Phase 2: The 3 Tiers of Construction
These terms relate to the architectural components used in the process of building your business solutions.Tier 1: Core Blocks (The Raw Materials)
These are the fundamental “LEGO Pieces” that you, the architect, assemble to create any business process.Universal Object
The DNA of your business. Define any entity—customers, projects, candidates, assets—to create one source of truth.Workflow
Standardize your operations with visual process maps. Define the exact stages for any task, from IDEA to LAUNCH.Data Fields
Capture the exact data you need for any business entity. Ensure data consistency for everything you track.Object Connection
Your relationship map. Visualize how customers, projects, and support tickets are all interconnected in real-time.Workview & Dashboard
Your command center. Allow every team to see the same underlying data in the layout that best suits their work.Universal Query Language (UQL)
Your business brain. Ask complex, cross-functional questions in natural language and get answers instantly.Universal Automation
Your operational nervous system. Connect every process automatically, eliminating manual handoffs and friction.Unified Live Chat
Your collaboration fabric. Keep all conversations in the context of the work itself, ending scattered communication.Permission & Notification
Your governance layer. Scale with confidence, knowing the right people always have the right access.Tier 2: Function Design (The Blueprints)
Function
A reusable, no-code blueprint for a complete business solution. It is a container that packages
Object Types, Workflows, Data Screens, Workviews, Automations, Roles, Permissions & NotificationsTier 3: Usage & Operation (The Live Instances)
Object
A single, live instance of an
Object Type. This is the actual work item (e.g., the specific “Q4 Sales Deal”).Status
A specific step or stage in a
Workflow (e.g., IN PROGRESS). Always written in UPPERCASE.Transition
The defined, one-way path between two
Statuses in a Workflow.The Work Environment (Operational Concepts)
These terms describe the interfaces and tools users interact with on a daily basis.Area
A container for grouping related
Spaces, forming the high-level structure of your organization (e.g., “Sales Department Area”).Space
A live, dedicated workspace created from a
Function. This is where teams collaborate and work on Objects.Workspace
A personal, customizable hub for managers to pull in different
Spaces and reports from across the organization.Personal Home
An automatic, personal dashboard for every user, aggregating all their assigned
Objects and notifications.Smart Value
A placeholder (e.g.,
{{object.name}}) used in Universal Automation to dynamically pull data from Objects into actions.Filter
A set of criteria, powered by
UQL, used to find specific Objects. Can be a Quick Filter or a Saved Filter.Key Distinctions at a Glance
This table clarifies some of the most important and commonly confused concepts.| We Say… | We Mean… | Not to be confused with… | The Core Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
📋 Function | The Blueprint | ⏹️ Space | A Function is the design; a Space is the live workspace created from that design. |
Object Type | The Blueprint | 🧊 Object | An Object Type is the template (e.g., “Sales Deal”); an Object is the actual instance (e.g., “The Acme Corp Deal”). |
Workview | The Workshop | Dashboard | A Workview is for executing work on individual Objects; a Dashboard is for analyzing aggregated data. |
Workspace | The Manager’s Hub | ⏹️ Space | A Space is an official team workspace; a Workspace is a personal dashboard for a manager to view multiple Spaces. |
Business Privilege | The Entry Ticket | Item Access | Privilege gets you into the system; Item Access gives you the keys to specific things inside the system. |
