How to Create an Entity-Relationship Diagram

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

How to Create an Entity-Relationship Diagram Using ERD Solution

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.
The vector stencils library "Audit flowcharts" contains 31 flow chart symbols.
Use it in accounting, financial management, fiscal information tracking, money management, decision making, and financial inventories to create auditing flowchart diagrams in the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Audit Flowcharts solution from the Finance and Accounting area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
