Viewing Objects Graphically
OneData provides a graphical display for viewing object relationships. The Show Model menu allows you to graphically view entities and the relationships between them. These features are available when viewing records.
Note:  
The Java applet downloads the first time you click Show Model.
By default, the graphical model displays all entities within the object’s folder and sub-folders. Objects that are part of a hierarchy or self-referential relationship display visually in blue. Simple data objects that are not part of a hierarchy display in green.
The Show Model page provides the following menu options:
