How do I set one to many relationships in lucid chart?

Question

I have connected two shapes with a line in lucid chart. How do I show that it is one to many? Visio allows you to do this.

Thanks for your question! I actually work for Lucidchart, so I'm happy to help. I'm not sure if you're asking about showing a one-to-many relationship in ERD or in UML, so I'll answer both. I've described the appropriate steps below, but I've also recorded this screencast to show you the steps: https://lucidchart1.viewscreencasts.com/ac3bd4a01a1a4456948f37e532b3ed53

ERD:

Once you connect two shapes, you can click on the line in the middle and change the endpoints to be an arrow, crows foot, or any of our other line endings. Just click on the line and then you'll see the top options bar will change to include two drop down menus, each referring to a different endpoint of the line. You can also add multiplicities to an ERD diagram the same way you add them with UML shapes (see below for more details).

UML:

After you connect two shapes together with a line, you can click on the line and a dialogue box will appear. This box will give you the options to "Add Multiplicities" or "Reverse Line Direction." You can use the multiplicities to indicate how many points you are making.
