DataTools ERD toolbar features a series of tools to transform and export your Salesforce Entity Relationship diagrams. This article highlights all of the available options
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. |
