I love the new Base Schema block. As a content strategist, it has some really great potential applications. The degree of control in the settings, however, is far too limited to be useful for complex basesโ€”which is likely to be a major use case. Some controls Iโ€™d need to have to be able to put this to practical use (in order of priority):

  • Select which tables within a base to map
  • Choose to map all fields, or only non-hidden fields.
  • Apply specific colors to connection types that persist, not just on rollover
  • Apply specific line type (e.g. dashed, dotted, solid) to connection types that persist, not just on rollover

Additionally, Iโ€™d love to see the following enhancements:

  • Export to PDF or PNG (table stakes for any visualization, if you ask me)
  • Bรฉzier control over the line curves

I so want to be able to make good use of this block, and will continue playing with it in more simple bases. From my limited interaction so far, itโ€™s not super usable for the types of bases it would be truly useful for. I do love that I can rearrange the position of the tables, and the interactivity of the lines is nice (though feels like secondary importance to some of the stuff in my list above).

Thanks!!

+1 and copy field ordering from view specific configuration, just like you can view to view.
