# Glossary

> Read the terms used across Ideatura task guides.

Use the exact object or control name when specifying a task.

<h2 id="applications-and-targets">
  1\. Applications and targets
</h2>

**Studio** is the Ideatura application. A **connected application** is an application the task can access; an **instance** is one running session. The **document**, **view** and **selection** identify the task's scope. An **AI model** processes the request; a building model is the project material being inspected or changed.

<h2 id="instructions-and-reuse">
  2\. Instructions and reuse
</h2>

**Context** is information available to a task. **Guidelines** provide standing instructions; a **Skill** supplies a focused procedure. An **automation** is saved runnable work. An **AI Flow** uses AI during execution. A **chain** combines operations in a sequence. See [Context and instructions](/ai/context-window).

<h2 id="drawings-and-elements">
  3\. Drawings and elements
</h2>

A **view** shows model information; a **sheet** arranges drawing output. A **Room**, **Area** and **scope box** serve different purposes in Revit. A **tag** displays element information; **Mark** is an element parameter and changing it does not necessarily place a tag. A **native element** has application-specific behavior; a visual preview does not establish that behavior.

<h2 id="usage-and-output">
  4\. Usage and output
</h2>

**Credits** measure product usage; **tokens** measure model-processed information; **storage** concerns retained files. **Generated** means the work has been created, **executed** means it has run, **saved** means a copy has been retained, and **accepted** means the result has been reviewed and approved. See [Automation lifecycle](/automation/lifecycle).
