– This visualization simplifies troubleshooting, spotting missing relationships, and ensuring alignment with business processes.

2. Create and Modify Objects and Fields
– Directly create and adjust objects and fields within Schema Builder without navigating through multiple pages.
– Instantly see how changes impact your data model, enhancing understanding and efficiency.

3. Manage Relationships Between Objects
– Effortlessly manage lookup and master-detail relationships with visual cues like line styles and symbols.
– These representations help distinguish relationship types and roles quickly.

4. Document Your Data Model
– Use Schema Builder as a living document by capturing the current state of your data model for sharing with stakeholders.
– Although export options are unavailable, screenshots can effectively document the model.

5. Troubleshoot Data Model Issues
– Schema Builder aids in identifying misconfigured relationships or missing fields causing issues in record access or reporting.
– Start with a clean canvas and selectively display relevant objects to trace data flow.
