Creating an ERD diagram

Documenting your FileMaker Pro database is an important part of the development process. Picture your project like a waterfall. Most of your planning should take place at the top while the water is calm. Trying to fix errors at the bottom of the waterfall is much harder. Use tools like Omnigraffle for the Mac, or Microsoft Project on the PC to sketch out how each part of your business will come together. Database developers define this as Entity-Relationship Diagrams or ERDs.
