    <p>Hi all,</p>
    <p>at first: The tool is great! ;-))</p>
    <p>I&#39;m working with pgadmin4 during design and managing phase and
      it&#39;s functions are like the well known swiss army knife.</p>
    <p>I didn&#39;t find a list for ideas, so I hope this is the right way
      to contact you:</p>
    <p>I&#39;ve got some ideas for making ERD diagrams easier to
      read/understand:</p>
    <p>Is it possible, to add some viewing options to the ERD-tool?</p>
    <p>For tables:</p>
    <p>- option to hide the schema name (mostly it is not needed to
      understand the diagram)</p>
    <p>- option to show schema / tablename as full qualified name in one
      row (shortens the table boxes)</p>
    <p>- option to highlight the table name / full qualified name</p>
    <p>- option to hide all fields except the primarykey and fields
      needed for relations?</p>
    <p>For relations:</p>
    <p>- When clicking on a relation, a box with its definition, maybe
      changeable/editable?</p>
    <p>Many thanks for your work!</p>
    <p>Best regards,</p>
