[TIPS] Customize the display level of ER Entities In Astah's ER diagrams, you can set the display level of ER Entities as you wish.
For example, we have one ER Entity as figure below. And you can select the level of displayed information in ER Entities from the following three. 1) Entity 2) Primary Key 3) Attribute How to do so: There are three ways to do so. (1) Best if you want to set it per ER Entity Right-click ER Entity and go to [Display Level] (2) Best if you want to set it for all the ER entities in entire project Go to [Tool] - [System Properties] - [ER Diagram] - [Display Level] (3) Best if you want to set it for all the ER Entities per ER diagram Select the ER diagram in the structure tree and go to its Property View (The left bottom pane in Astah) and then set it from "Initial Display Level" Furthermore, you can show/hide each Primary Key/Attribute per each ER Entity. 1) Right-click ER Entity and select [Attribute Visibility] 2) [Attribute Visibility Chooser] dialog appears, tick or take it off on the left of Attributes to show/hide them This customizability of display level should help making your diagrams more expressive with essential information by hiding unnecessary information for your needs and purposes. Best, Satomi |

And you can select the level of displayed information in ER Entities from the following three. Today we received a request from a user to add "Primary Key and Foreign Key" to the display level. Please let us know if you want it too, or if you want other level. Best, Satomi |
