Can I display custom tags of columns in a database diagram?

100 Views Asked by At

I am trying to use database diagrams in Sparx EA to collect and communicate information about how we are using tables.

I want to add information to columns and have this information show up in a diagram.

For example, the first thing I want to do is note which columns are required in a given application.

I have used the reverse-engineering to import all the many tables into my Sparx project.
It looks like I can extend column information with Tags at least.

But I can't find a way to show my custom tags in a diagram, such as a basic database diagram with tables.

  • Is there a way to visualize custom tag information for columns in a diagram?

What seems like the most direct example would be such as the following, where a custom "usage" Tag appears after the column name and data type ...

what I wish I could have in EA

I welcome other options such as conditionally changing the color or font or something based on the Tag,
if adding the Tag name & value is not possible.
