Transcript


The past two weeks of our Tips and Tricks series have focused on building asset layouts for vendors and locations. This week, we are going to focus on how you can build relationships in Hoodoo, specifically examples of this for vendors and locations. Relationships are created so you can easily navigate between relevant information, making sure you are always one click away from what you need access to. Jumping into our locations asset layout and into one of our locations, you will see that all relationships are located on the right-hand sidebar. I currently have this location related with some people, but let's add a new relationship. In Hoodoo, you can add relationships with other assets, KB articles, passwords, and more. In addition, you can also add relationships with items outside of the company that you are currently in. Now, let's say we have a server that is at this location. We want to document that and create a relationship between the location and server to ensure that everyone in our Hoodoo instance knows where the equipment is located. So let's go ahead and add the relationship with this server here. And now we'll see that here on the right-hand side. Relationships are two-way connected. So now if I go into our asset for the server, I will see that we have that relationship created here on the right-hand side. The same philosophies could be applied to vendors. As I click into my vendor's asset layout and jump into Salesforce, for example, you will see we already have a couple of relationships created. Now, let's say we want to add this vendor as a relationship with the child company of Atlas, Inc. We can go into our relationships, click company, and go ahead and search for the company we want to relate this to, and go ahead and add the relationship. Now we have a relationship with Salesforce and Atlas Plastics. So now I can jump back into our companies page. Let's go ahead and jump into Atlas Plastics. And here, if I click into related items, we have the relationship with our vendor here. We can now track which vendors this company uses. Relationships can be a very powerful tool for not only vendors and locations, but pretty much everything in your Hadoop instance. You can create these relationships to provide you knowledge, as well as to ensure that you are always one click away from what you need access to.

TL;DR

  • Relationships in Hudu create two-way connections between assets, KB articles, passwords, and other documentation elements, ensuring related information is always one click away
  • You can link items across different companies in your Hudu instance, making it easy to track vendor relationships and equipment locations across your entire organization
  • All relationships appear in the right-hand sidebar and automatically update on both sides of the connection when created

Summary

This tutorial demonstrates how to create and manage relationships within Hudu's documentation platform. The video walks through practical examples of connecting locations with servers and vendors with client companies, showing how relationships create two-way links that keep related information one click away. The demonstration covers the relationship sidebar interface, cross-company linking capabilities, and how these connections automatically update on both sides of the relationship. By establishing these connections between assets, knowledge base articles, passwords, and other documentation elements, teams can build a more interconnected and navigable information architecture that reflects real-world dependencies and associations.
