Design elements - ERD (crow's foot notation)

How to Create an ERD Diagram

ERD (entity relationship diagram) is used to show the logical structure of databases. It represents the interrelationships between components of database (entities). Entity relationship diagrams are a widely used in software engineering. Using ERD software engineers can control the every aspect of database development. ER diagram can be used as guide for testing and communicating before the release of software product. ERD displays data as entities that are connected with connections that show the relationships between entities. There is some ERD notations used by data bases developers for representing the relationships between the data objects. ConceptDraw PRO and its ERD solution allow you to build ERD diagram of any notation.

How to Create an Entity-Relationship Diagram Using ConceptDraw Solution Park

An entity-relationship diagram (ERD)is used in a database modeling process. ERD diagram shows a graphical representation of objects or concepts within an information system and their relationships.The ability to  describe a database using the Entity-Relationship model is delivered by the ConceptDraw ERD solution.

How to Create a Venn Diagram in ConceptDraw PRO

Venn diagrams were invented by John Venn as a method of depicting relationships between different components. A Venn diagram consists of two or more circles. Each circle represents a specific group or set. The entities which are depicted by circles generally have some common characteristics. A Venn Diagram shows all the possible logical relations between these entities. Any properties that belong to more than one set should be indicated in the sections where the circles overlap. A Venn Diagram can be useful to visually summarize the status and future viability of a project. ConceptDraw PRO allows you to make a Venn diagrams using the Venn Diagrams solution.

How to Create a Concept Map in ConceptDraw PRO

Graphical technique of knowledge representation in a form of structured networks of concepts (ideas) is called concept mapping. Concept network consists of shapes that represent concepts and connectors representing relationships between concepts. The difference between mind maps and concept maps is that a mind map has only one object depicting a main idea , while a concept map may have several. Concept mapping is used to structure ideas, to communicate complex system of knowledge, to help learning process, etc. ConceptDraw PRO allows you to draw concept maps using the Concept Map solution.

How To Create a Visio Bubble Chart Using ConceptDraw PRO

ConceptDraw PRO allows you to easily create business charts and diagrams of any complexity, including the bubbles diagram and then make a MS Visio file from your diagram in a few simple steps.

How to Add a Bubble Diagram to a MS Word Document Using ConceptDraw PRO

A bubble diagram is used the same purpose as a scatter diagram, but in the case, if the data has three dimensions, each of that containing the set of values. A bubble chart is a diagram in which the data points are replaced with bubbles, and the size of the bubbles represents some additional dimension of the data. A bubble chart does not have the axis. The sizes of the bubbles are determined by the values in the third dimension. Any additional information about the entities beyond their three primary dimensions can be depicted by rendering bubbles in colors and patterns that are selected in a certain way. The legend containing the further information can be added to a bubble diagram. ConceptDraw PRO allows you to easily create various business management and marketing charts, including bubble diagrams and then add them to a MS Word document.
