Hi! I recommend you reading our 24 tips for Vertabelo users. There's a lot of interesting tricks there, including copying and pasting tables between two models:

Hi, you can use the "Recommend us" option that you can find in the top menu. Unfortunately, this way you can send one invitation at once.

If you have many students, I recommend sending them emails with the following address:

www.vertabelo.com/academic-registration

Note that an academic account is not a team one, so you can't add other persons to join your account. You can only share models with other users. You can also send invitations to share your models to persons who don't have their Vertabelo accounts yet.

After your students sign up for their academic accounts, they can create new database models basing on your guidelines, and then they can share these models with you. You will be able to observe changes and evaluate these models. You can also comment on diagrams placing text notes next to the database objects you want to comment. And remember that one model can be shared by many users so several students can work in one group designing a single model, and you can watch them developing it.

In the nearest future, we will release the feature allowing users to send more than one recommendation at once. Many lecturers asked for that and we know we must introduce it.

If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards and enjoy Vertabelo!

Hi again!

You could just ask for extending your trial.

Anyway, I'm very impressed by your answer. In the past, we had some similar cases but no person apologized for cheating. Thanks a lot for that.

I've just extended your trial period till January 10, 2016.

Best regards and enjoy Vertabelo!

Hi!

I've reviewed your bonus points history and I'm really disappointed.

I have no doubt that all accounts created after your recommendation are dummy accounts - most of them has been closed soon after the creation, and as for the rest, there is no life and no models in them. Moreover, most of them are related to same persons: "sayantanmukherjee" or "roy.bikram" - with different email domains.

So I had to treat your entire recommendation activity as a fraud. In such cases we don't exchange bonus points. And for this reason I took back 102 bonus points from your account.

Please, don't do this again. If you want to earn 100 bonus points quickly and fairly, write and publish a review on Vertabelo, or recommend us in social media, or use Vertabelo as a data modeling tool in your blog articles.

OK, I understand that.

You must know that we are considering restoring a free plan so it is very likely that in a few months you will be able to sign up for a free account plan again. We will announce it on Twitter, so consider following us.

Best regards and... see you soon!

Hi Uri!

Today your trial will expire. Do you need a few days more?

Hi!

Unfortunately, you cannot revert to a free account plan because we do not offer it any longer.

If you need to download your models as SQL files, you can now log in since I extended your trial period till December 17, 2015.

Hi Sachin!

You have registered for a basic trial plan which has some limitations compared to a premium plan, e.g., you can't save your database model as a PDF file, neither import an existing database structure from your SQL file.

In a basic plan, you can reverse engineer your database to get an XML file with the db structure, and then import that file to Vertabelo as your initial model. Besides, you can save your model as an SQL, or PNG file. That's all.

Obviously, in a premium plan you can do far more, e.g., import an SQL file to Vertabelo to continue working on your existing project.

I have just switched your trial plan to premium so you could take full advantages of all Vertabelo's features.

Note, that if you want to import SQL/XML file, you must do it when creating a new database model:

If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards and enjoy Vertabelo!

Hi! You have signed up for a wrong account type. Your account was a basic trial one, and your trial has just expired.

I've switched your account to academic. After logging in, you will be asked to complete the academic registration form.

Best regards and enjoy Vertabelo!
