You can view an entity relationship diagram (ERD) of some business objects (such as incident and change) by clicking **ERD** from within a business object. This provides a high-level view of related business objects.

The basic elements of the entity relationship diagram are as follows:

- The business object that stores information is in the center of the diagram.
- To see the relationships between other business objects, hover your mouse over a relationship line. See [Relationship Types](docId\:SzcP-QyW98hBG7IWLEeU2).
