Ebla Diagram¶

Overview¶

Ebla Diagram adds a Diagram mode to record detail pages so users can understand record relationships visually.

From a record, users can switch between Detail and Diagram and navigate related records directly from the graph.

What users can do¶

Open relationship diagrams from supported record detail views.
Click relationship branches to open related lists.
Click related nodes to open related records.
Use quick actions from node context menu.
Print the current diagram.

Quick Start¶

Go to Administration -> Entity Manager -> {Entity} -> Diagram.
Enable diagram mode for the entity and save.
Open a record and click Diagram in the top-right actions.

Configure Diagram¶

Open the settings page¶

Go to Administration -> Entity Manager.
Open the entity you want to configure.
Click Diagram.

Settings¶

Diagram Enabled¶

Turn this on to allow Diagram mode for the entity.

Hierarchical Layout¶

Controls the default layout when users open Diagram mode.

Hide Empty Children¶

Use this to reduce noise in the graph by limiting unnecessary branches.

Diagram Excluded Links¶

Select links you do not want to show in the diagram.

Recommended setup¶

Enable diagram mode for key entities first.
Keep hierarchical layout enabled for easier reading.
Exclude large, noisy links.
Save and test with real records.

Permission note¶

Only administrators can save Diagram settings from Entity Manager.

Use Diagram View¶

Open Diagram mode¶

Open a record where diagram mode is enabled.
Click Diagram from record actions.
Click Detail any time to return to standard detail view.

Navigate in the graph¶

Click a relationship branch to open the related list.
Click a related record node to open that record.
Right-click a record node for quick actions.

Change Layout¶

Switch between hierarchical and free layout.

Change Direction¶

Rotate the diagram direction to improve readability.

Print¶

Print the current diagram as an image snapshot.

Tips¶

Start with records that have meaningful related data.
If the graph is too dense, ask your admin to exclude extra links.
Use diagram mode for relationship understanding, then return to detail mode for editing fields.

FAQ and Limitations¶

Why do I not see the Diagram button?¶

Diagram mode is likely disabled for that entity. Ask an administrator to enable it in Entity Manager -> Diagram.

Why are some links missing from the graph?¶

Your administrator may have excluded those links in Diagram settings.

Why is the graph crowded?¶

Ask your administrator to exclude high-volume links and keep the default hierarchical layout enabled.

Can users edit settings?¶

No. Diagram settings are managed by administrators.

Does it work for every relation type?¶

It depends on how entity links are modeled. If needed, your technical team can review advanced behavior in the developer documentation.
