TimeTonic's Relational Model feature provides you with a complete map of your workspace at a glance: relationships between tables, selection fields, and key dependencies are visually displayed. Ideal for documenting and maintaining your data, this summary view allows you to:
- audit the consistency and clarity of an existing database;
- design a solid and well-structured business database from the outset;
- quickly identify critical relationships to avoid configuration errors.
The result: a more readable, more reliable architecture that's significantly easier to scale.
