Glossary
Associated record / associationA record HubSpot has linked to the current record, e.g. deals associated with a company. Building block
An element you add to a card, e.g. a heading, table, button, or input field. A building block may consist of several HubSpot components behind the scenes. Card
The complete UI extension shown on a HubSpot record or in Help desk. Throughout this knowledge base we simply say “card”. Designer
The workspace with the palette on the left, the card in the middle, and settings on the right. Draft
The most recently saved editable version. A draft does not affect the version that is live until you publish again. Dynamic value / binding
A value that is fetched when the card is shown, e.g. the company name, the number of associated deals, or an answer from an input field. The opposite is a fixed value. External system / connector
A connection to data or actions outside HubSpot, e.g. Dinero. The connection is managed by Card Studio. Field / property
A HubSpot property on a record, e.g. “Company name”, “Deal stage”, or a custom property. The “internal name” is HubSpot’s technical identifier for the property. Flow
A card split into two or more steps with back-and-forward navigation and optional actions on submit. Live
The published version that HubSpot shows to users. Object
The type of record the card appears on, e.g. contacts, companies, deals, tickets, or a custom object. Placement
The area in HubSpot where the card appears: middle column (tab), sidebar, preview panel, or Help desk sidebar. Record
A specific contact, company, deal, ticket, or instance of a custom object. Rollback / roll back
Making an earlier published version live again. The draft is not changed. Tone
The semantic color of e.g. a status chip or an alert: Neutral, Success, Warning, Critical, or Info. Version
An immutable snapshot created when you publish. Versions can be switched live via rollback.
