About the Entity Relationship Diagram Template
Manually drawing entity relationship diagrams and then writing separate technical documentation is a time-consuming process, prone to inconsistencies. The Entity Relationship Diagram template transforms this workflow by using AI to generate both a visual diagram and a technical document from a single prompt. You can also create an ERD from scratch using Miro's diagramming tools. This template is designed for technical teams who need to move quickly from concept to a clear, actionable database design in Miro's collaborative innovation workspace.
How to use the Entity Relationship Diagram Template
Write your prompt. Start by writing a clear, descriptive prompt that outlines the entities, attributes, and relationships of your database schema. Choose 'ERD' as the diagram type.
Run the AI flow. With your prompt ready, hit run to execute the AI flow. The template will automatically generate both an ERD on the canvas and a structured technical document.
Iterate and refine. Review the generated diagram and document. Iterate on the prompt for the best results. If you need changes, you can adjust your prompt and run the flow again, or edit the diagram elements directly on the board to add colors and styling. For changes to the document, iterate on the prompt and click run on the doc.
Collaborate with your team. Share the board with your team to review the design, gather feedback, and ensure everyone is aligned on the database structure before implementation.
Why use the Entity Relationship Diagram Template?
Accelerate your workflow. Go from a simple text description to a complete ERD and technical documentation in seconds, not hours.
Ensure consistency. Because the diagram and the document are generated from the same source, you can be sure they are always in sync, reducing errors and confusion.
Improve team alignment. A visual diagram paired with clear documentation makes it easier for engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders to understand and agree on the database design.
