What is an Object?

Everything you work on in Luklak—a sales deal, a project task, a support ticket, a job candidate—is an 🧊 Object. An Object is a single, trackable item that contains all the data and conversation related to that piece of work. Your daily work will primarily revolve around interacting with these Objects inside a ⏹️ Space. This guide will walk you through the three fundamental actions you will perform every day: viewing data, updating information, and moving work forward.

​
Viewing an Object

To start, simply click on any Object card from a Workview (like a List or Kanban board) to open its detailed view. Here, you will see all the information associated with it, neatly organized on its Data Screen. This screen is the single source of truth for that work item, showing you everything from the assignee and due date to its full history of changes and conversations.

​
Updating Information

As you work on an Object, you’ll need to update its information. This is as simple as clicking on a field and entering the new data.

Editing Fields

Click on any field, such as “Status,” “Due Date,” or a text description, to edit it. Your changes are saved automatically, creating a clear audit trail of who changed what, and when.

Sending Messages

Use the integrated Object Chat panel to add comments, ask questions, or provide updates. This keeps all conversations directly attached to the work itself, eliminating the need to search through emails or other chat apps.

​
Moving Work Forward with Transitions

This is the most important action you will take to show progress. You don’t just change a Status field manually. Instead, you move an Object from one stage of its Workflow to the next by clicking Transition buttons.
A Transition is an action button (e.g., “Start Progress,” “Submit for Review,” “Mark as Complete”) that moves an Object to the next logical Status. These buttons are pre-configured in the Function blueprint to ensure work always follows the correct process.
# Tutorial: Moving an Object Through Its Workflow

! Important: The available Transition buttons will change depending on the Object's current Status.

## Section 1: Progressing a Task

1.  **Open an Object**
    From a `Workview`, click on an `Object` that is assigned to you. For this example, its `Status` is `TO DO`.

2.  **Find the Transition Buttons**
    Look at the top of the `Object` detail view. You will see the available action buttons for its current `Status`. In this case, you might see a "Start Progress" button.

3.  **Click the Transition**
    Click the "Start Progress" button. The `Object`'s `Status` will instantly update to `IN PROGRESS`.

## Section 2: Completing the Task

1.  **View New Transitions**
    Now that the `Object` is `IN PROGRESS`, a new set of `Transition` buttons will appear, such as "Submit for Review".

2.  **Complete the Process**
    Continue to perform your work and click the appropriate `Transition` buttons to move the `Object` through each stage of its `Workflow` until it reaches a final `Status` like `DONE` or `ARCHIVED`.
