It would be really great if you could provide a Entity Relationship Diagram that will quickly and concisely communicate the structure of the Base.

Something like this:

Totally agree! Even better if, someday, we could draw relations on the ERD. Etc., etc.

+1! If I go forward with Airtable, I’ll have to create this outside of the app.

This would be amazing and much needed for bases that are complex in nature.

Does anyone know if Airtable has a plan to show the data model that the user created by linking tables? It would be so helpful to see the data model.

Hi everyone, you can use the Base schema app to visualize the structure of your base. Let us know if you have any questions or feedback. Thanks!

@Alan_Yiu1. Thanks for pointing out this cool app, but I think what folks are looking for is more like an entity-relationship diagram/model (ERD/ERM); i.e. something that includes crow’s foot notation to show one-to-one vs one-to-many vs many-to-many. This schema app is still awesome in that it maps the specific fields, which is great, but I think the ERD is a slightly different use case, no?
