# GlideTableHierarchy- Scoped

The GlideTableHierarchy API provides methods for handling information about table relationships.

**Parent Topic:**[Server API reference](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/api-reference/server-api-reference/api-server.md)

## GlideTableHierarchy - GlideTableHierarchy\(String tableName\)

Instantiates a GlideTableHierarchy object.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|tableName|String|The name of the table.|

```
var table = new GlideTableHierarchy("incident"); 
gs.info(table.getTables());
```

Output:

```
incident,task
```

## GlideTableHierarchy - getAllExtensions\(\)

Returns an array of strings containing all tables that extend the current table and includes the current table.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|None| | |

|Type|Description|
|----|-----------|
|Array|An array of strings containing the tables in the hierarchy that includes the current table.|

```
var table = new GlideTableHierarchy("task"); 
gs.info(table.getAllExtensions());
```

Output: Line breaks added for clarity.

```
task,sc_task,problem_task,change_phase,sc_req_item,kb_submission,
release_phase,problem,ticket,sm_task,hr_task,change_task,change_request,
change_request_imac,incident,release_task,vtb_task,sm_order,hr_case,
sysapproval_group,sc_request
```

## GlideTableHierarchy - getBase\(\)

Returns the parent class.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|None| | |

|Type|Description|
|----|-----------|
|String|The parent class.|

```
var table = new GlideTableHierarchy("cmdb_ci_server"); 
gs.info(table.getBase());
```

Output:

```
cmdb_ci_computer
```

## GlideTableHierarchy - getHierarchy\(\)

Returns an array of strings containing all classes in the hierarchy of the current table.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|none| | |

|Type|Description|
|----|-----------|
|Array|An array of strings of the classes in the hierarchy.|

```
var table = new GlideTableHierarchy("incident"); 
gs.info(table.getHierarchy());
```

Output:

```
incident,task
```

## GlideTableHierarchy - getName\(\)

Returns the table's name.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|None| | |
