Enhance Your Data Model

When you design a data model, you can use many of the drawing and display features to enhance its appearance and make it easier to view and understand.

To prepare a diagram for analysis and presentation, you can:

• Enlarge the font size for all entity names so that they are easier to read.
• Change the color of all foreign keys to red, so that they are distinguishable from other attributes or columns.
• Use different fonts and colors to identify new objects from old objects in your model.
• Resize one or more entity boxes
• Align two or more entity boxes
