Hi Guys, I wanted to ask about the ability for Whiteboards to show existing entities in an App, or even Cross-App, as well as relations. In my use of Whiteboards, which is a big reason I’m using Fibery over other solutions, I’d like to be able to both “create” in a whiteboard, then convert to Types and Entities, but also show what I have already set up in my work structure that exists within apps. Thankfully, you have made great strides on the former - it’s possible to do a lot right now to diagram stuff in Whiteboard, and easily convert it into related Entities. However, the other side of this for my use would be to be able to create a whiteboard that would “pick up” a selected set of Entities, and produce a diagram with the relations that exist shown. A few points here: - It would be great if the directions of arrows reflected what is already existing in Fibery, things like “many-to-one” showing in a certain direction, and possibly entire Apps showing as “boxes” around the entities within. - Have the ability to add to this existing diagram new Whiteboard elements, and link them directly. So you could add in this whiteboard, instead of in the Fibery Card or Table views. This request about generating an org chart is closely related: > [@Org Chart in Whiteboards](https://community.fibery.io/t/org-chart-in-whiteboards/565): > > It would be great if there is an ability to generate organizational charts in whiteboards. It would be a great addition to the Employee Management tool that can dynamically generate org charts and include different types of attributes. I am hoping that the formatting of the boxes in the entity views/tree views can also be customized in future version and controlled based on specific fields/attributes. Many thanks for taking in all these requests slight_smile Thanks guys! ---

I was thinking the exact same thing and came to mention it. It would seem this would be possible from the hierarchies that we create in the app. I am working on an app that represents the data/content in one of our games an trying to create a one to one mapping with assets that end up on the game, text blocks, VO, animations etc. Being able to visualise the whole graph of it would be amazing. ---

Hi guys, just curious if you had any thoughts on this or when it might be available. I have noticed that when I draw in Whiteboard, I can create two entities that are in a Many-to-one relationship and when I convert the diagrams and connect, those connections materialize in the entities - that’s great! But it doesn’t work for one-to-one or Many-to-Many that I can see. Also as a side note, it would be great if an entity had a link to a Whiteboard where it exists in the diagram… Finally, Just wanted to relate back to this request as it’s also connected @AnadinX curious your thoughts on that one, thanks! > [@In Whiteboard, "Transparent" or "Empty" to represent Parent Entities](https://community.fibery.io/t/in-whiteboard-transparent-or-empty-to-represent-parent-entities/667): > > Hi guys, I’d like to ask if you could consider a aspect of Whiteboard where a parent entity could be viewed as an “empty block” or group around its children. Something like this: This is an image I did in reference to another work management app, but the point is that the “grouping” block would be the parent entity, with the “task” blocks the children. This is very useful for expressing software systems - tiers of development for example, or Master Features that contain many sub fe… ---

This would be very helpful to visualise high level strategies - be it business, product or technical strategies. For our technical strategy I currently use manually managed mind maps. Whiteboard is a bit of an improvement - as the entities could actually exist and be managed in Fibery. The downside is that I would need to manage the connectivity manually (tree layout isn’t good enough). Also - Whiteboard is a bit slow and fiddly for managing mind maps. Having out of the box circle layout would be really useful. ---

Glad to get support on this! I hope it is something the team will consider as it would be a hugely powerful feature that I’ve never seen offered elsewhere! ---

One thing I have been hoping for forever, [Auto-Generate linked diagrams in Whiteboard](https://community.fibery.io/t/auto-generate-linked-diagrams-in-whiteboard/684), would be great to finally get some progress on if that might be part of what you are thinking about when saying “better whiteboard.” Clickup autogenerates to some degree mind maps with its relations, but it’s limited to only task/subtask. Still, you can do some cool stuff there and would love to be able to have the same ability in Fibery, but using the full-on relations we have in here! I always thought the “Workspace Map” was a great example of how an auto-generated whiteboard could be useful. Thanks! ---

Is this request now satisfied? Fibery allows you to show multiple entities on a board, representing the relations between them, and auto-layout is possible. What’s missing (if anything) in order to mark this as solved? ---

I’m wondering if this is essentially the same thing I requested [here](https://community.fibery.io/t/allow-whiteboards-to-be-views-in-relations-just-like-lists-tables-boards/5903). The Multi-entity insertion is fine for what it is, but it still takes time and effort to manage and maintain and it would be ideal if entities were added/removed automagically just like any other view. ---

I think this request is a simpler need that the one you linked to > [@B\_Sp](#): > > create a whiteboard that would “pick up” a selected set of Entities, and produce a diagram with the relations that exist shown 👆 is already possible as are the subpoints: > [@B\_Sp](#): > > - the directions of arrows reflected what is already existing in Fibery > - the ability to add to this existing diagram new Whiteboard elements, and link them directly The topic you linked to is more about making whiteboards behave like ‘data views’ (where the contents dynamically update to reflect the state of the entities) which is a much bigger ask. Unless anyone objects, I will close this topic and if those who voted for it want to, they can support the other one with the vote that gets freed up ---

Sounds good Chris! I actually don’t have time to check how this is looking these days, we have not used Whiteboard in an age. I’ll take your word though that these features are in play, I’m glad as I’m sure we’ll return to Whiteboards at some point. Good example here of how you guys iterate on all your product areas as these years pass! This request is over 4 yrs old! And glad to get the vote back, those things are valuable! ---
