Generate an Entity Relation Diagram

To understand the existing table structure of an unknown Power Platform environment I use tools like the XRM Tool Box. The plugin ‘ERD Schema Generator‘ allows you to generate an Entity Relational Diagram.

Quick steps

  • Optional download and install XRM Tool box
  • Start the XRM tool box
  • Create a connection to the (Power Platform) environment
  • Install / find and activate the “ERD Schema Generator” plugin from the tools menu
  • Load all entities (from a solution)
  • Generate the diagram with help from the diagram.io website

After starting XRM Tool box, create a connection to the Power Platform environment.

Then find the ERD Schema generator from the Tools menu.

Example, the generated ERD Diagram
