Description: Automatically convert imported ER diagrams into OutSystems data models, reducing manual effort and accelerating development.

Problem: Manual ER diagram translation is slow and error-prone.

Solution: Implement an ER diagram import feature with automated entity, attribute, and relationship generation, plus a visual editor and validation.

Benefits: Faster development, fewer errors, increased productivity, improved collaboration, and better data governance.

Hi Neha,

We do it the other way around, we define the entities, and then we use the entity diagram from OutSystems as documentation.

Regards,

Daniel

This is a Great idea for importing legacy data models into outsystems.

however, when developing new application, I would recommend what @Daniël Kuhlmann has suggested

@Daniël Kuhlmann We're good with exporting part for ERDs. 
However, at times when we are transitioning from legacy systems or use multiple technologies we have ERDs generated via Lucid Chart or Visual Pardigm & need to create the entities into OutSystems following those ERD rules.
