DataTools ERD Toolbar
Add New Object: This tool allows you to add a new object to your Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). You can define the object’s properties and its relationships with other objects.
Zoom In/Out: Use this tool to zoom in for a closer view or zoom out to see a larger portion of your ERD. It helps in navigating complex diagrams with ease.
Fit to Canvas: This tool adjusts the view to fit the entire ERD within the canvas, making it easier to see all the elements without needing to scroll.
Collapse / Expand ERD: This tool lets you collapse or expand sections of the ERD, making it simpler to focus on specific parts of the diagram while hiding less relevant details.
Export PNG: With this tool, you can export your ERD as a PNG image file, allowing you to share or include the diagram in documents and presentations.
Export SVG: Similar to the PNG export, this tool lets you export your ERD as an SVG file, which is scalable and can be used in various applications without losing quality.
Group/Ungroup Lines: This tool allows you to group or ungroup lines in your ERD, making it easier to manage and organize connections between objects.
Lock ERD: Use this tool to lock the ERD, preventing any changes from being made. This is useful when you want to ensure the integrity of the diagram once it’s finalized.
Show User Relationships: This tool highlights the relationships between users within the ERD, providing a clear view of how users interact with different objects and entities.
Use Field API Names: This tool toggles between displaying the field names as seen in the user interface and the API names used in code, helping developers and administrators understand the mapping.
