Your feedback is highly appreciated! Let's make Vertabelo even better.
New columns should remain unamed
New column names should remain empty, I only have to overwrite them anyway. And leaving them empty would highlight them as an issue (and they're more easily found visually) so I know I need to go back and name them.
Adding a default name when mass editing a sea of tables means default names can easily be missed.
Make null flag opposite
I believe most DBs default columns to NULLABLE when not specified. So it might just be me but when I see the N flag set I instincivley think it's signifying NOT NULL.
I think it would be better for a checked N box to signify NOT NULL instead of NULLABLE.
Ctrl + Click then Drag to move multiple columns at a time
Ability to Ctrl + Click to select multiple columns, then using one of the 'move column' buttons to click and drag them all.
The same visual placement marker made visible as well so location of 'drop' can be seen before releasing columns.
Ability to resize width of type fields (and others) on columns
Current resizing behaviour (expand window to expand column name fields) is fine. Just add a 'hover-over' option at the borders between headers of the 'columns' section to manually resize the widths as well.
Ctrl + Down to add column under currently selected column
New ability to place column directly where you want it.
Bonus: duplicate the '+ Add Column' button to the top right of the columns as well. When using this button - don't auto-scroll down to see the new column.
Hi Gordon,
It's great hearing from you. I remember our virtual meeting 3 years ago :).
You're right. In the past 18 months we didn't introduce many new features and rather were cutting those hadn't been used. To be completely honest with you, we were focusing more on our second initiative academy.vertabelo.com. This year we will definitely put more power into our modeler. Within the next 6-8 weeks Vertabelo will get a new website. In Q1 we will also introduce logical models and addsupport for more dbms engines.
Please write me at luke@vertabelo.com and I'll be more than happy to talk more about Vertabelo and share the full roadmap with you.
All best,
Luke
do you have a discounted price or coupon for startup companies?
Early startup entering funding acquisition phase. Not much money on hand but would like to use your tool to demonstrate concepts to potential investors. Extended trial period of a month or two, or some other kind of significant discount would be helpful.
SubModel
For larger projects the ability to have subModels is important, a subset of entities to work on at any one time , ideally entities may be in one or more subModels
