[SOLVED] Request: Entity Relationship Diagram

[JMichaelTX]

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:

###Entity Relationship Diagram

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

[Pete_Vilter]

+1; would be a great Block.

[Scott_Fay]

+1 for an ERD view on a base

[Leah_Riffell]

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

[Rod_Tagle]

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

[Ruth_Gilleran]

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.

+1 and this has also been requested in these places:

• Node Diagram To Help with Visualization
• Visualize Base Structure/Schema
• Internal base mapping or streamlining
• Adjacent request: Ability to *create* entity relationship diagrams

[Alan_Yiu1]

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!

[Ryan_Watters]

@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?

[Ant_Couzens]

Totally agree - came to airtable with ERD as a key requirement. will have to look elsewhere :cry:
