Visualize the data model

Last updated: 10/27/2026

You can visualize the data model of an application directly within the Qlik Code extension.

Do the following:

1. Use the Data Model Diagram / View Data Model option, from any of the following:

   • Right-clicking the app from the Qlik Cloud panel in the VS Code Explorer.

   • Right-clicking a bound local script in the VS Code Explorer.

   • Right-clicking in the text editor when editing a script.

   • Using the Command Palette.

   This opens a visual diagram of the app's tables and the associations between them, in its own editor tab.

2. With the data model diagram opened, you have access to a number of options for customizing its appearance:

   • Switch between Auto Layout and Grid Layout, or Restore Saved Layout to return to a manually arranged layout.

   • Reset Zoom and Fit to Screen adjust the view.

   • Minimize All Tables / Maximize All Tables collapse or expand every table card.

   • Show Only Connections filters the diagram down to tables and fields that are actually linked.

   • Search Tables & Fields finds a specific table or field in a large model.
