The Luklak Glossary: A Guide to the Build & Ground Layers

A comprehensive glossary of all key terms in the Luklak platform, organized by the two core architectural layers: the Build Layer and the Ground Layer.

Welcome to the official Luklak Glossary. This document is the single source of truth for all terminology used across the platform, organized by our unique two-layer architecture.

Layer 1: The Build Layer

This layer contains all the components and concepts related to constructing your unique operational solutions. The process follows a logical 3-tier structure, from raw materials to a finished, live building.

Tier 1: The Advanced Materials (Core LEGO Pieces)

These are the fundamental, intelligent “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: The Blueprints (Functions)

This is where you act as the architect, assembling the raw materials into detailed plans.

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, and Permission Schemes.

Tier 3: The Live Building (Usage & Operation)

This is the finished headquarters where daily work happens. Your blueprints become live, interactive environments.

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.

Area

A container for grouping related Spaces, forming the high-level structure of your organization (e.g., “Sales Department”).

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.

Layer 2: The Ground Layer (The Land and The Law)

This layer contains all the components related to the governance and security that form the stable foundation for everything you build.

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). Used in Permission Schemes.

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 access a specific “Item” (like a Function or Dashboard).

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.
