Manage Suggested Relationships

Relationships overview

Relationships enable connecting any cmdb_ci or CIs, for instance, a Business Application with a Business Capability. This assists in understanding interdependencies.

📘

NOTE

Only a ServiceNow System Administrator can define Relationships. FREELUCY uses ServiceNow’s CI Relationships feature, which is part of the cmdb.
