Unable to Import Salesforce Show All Object Details

I am unable to select “Show all fields on each object” using the Import from Salesforce tool for ERD.I am able to connect to Salesforce, see all the tables, see both options but can only select “Show only relation fields on each object”. I have enterprise and was able to do this in the past. Tried in different browsers and same issue.It still appears to be a feature, listed in: https://help.lucid.co/hc/en-us/articles/16471565238292-Create-an-Entity-Relationship-Diagram-in-Lucidchart#import-salesforce

How to resize the Toolbox

Able to scale the page I'm working up and down but the size of the Toolbox and the menus across the top stay very very small. I can't find anything in the Help that tells how to make the Toolbox larger.

How do you set the default spell checker language for new documents?

Hello, Does anybody know how you set the default spell checker language for new documents? I found that you can set it per-document in the document settings, but I can’t find a way of setting the default for new documents I create in LucidCharts.

Locked template with insane uneditable central object (frame)

Hi,Why can a user not say “ok I’m departing on this corporate template because I need to create a variant” and then work in an unobstructed way?I’m kind of freaked out right now because I’ve lost a significant amount of work not being able to separate or control my content within an overly locked template. I wasn’t aware I was falling into this trap for the first 8-9 hours of work…  I already made a copy of the file to start working separately, as well as toggling back and forth between lucidspark and lucidchart to try to regain control of my visual story being conveyed.This is very disappointing to put this large an amount of effort into working to express an overall vision and direction into a document that I can now not expand a frame box element slightly to accommodate the content, its redlined with x’s at the boundary edges, locked menu disabled, it cant be constructed over, etc.How do I track down the owner of this template? I can only imagine the conversation when I finally trac

Deleting a user and how it impacts access to documents in a team folder

Use case #1: A user is part of the Technology group in Lucid.  The user got hired in a different department in the organization so an admin is removing them from the Technology group and are adding them to a different Lucid group in the organization.  The Technology group is a collaborator on the Technology Team Folder.  The user had created some documents in this Technology Team Folder.  When the user is removed from the Technology group and added to a different group, are the documents this user created in the Technology Team Folder still accessible by Technology Group Members?Use case #2: A user is part of the Technology group in Lucid.  The user is retiring so an admin is deleting them from our Lucid account.   The Technology group is a collaborator on the Technology Team Folder.  The user had created some documents in this Technology Team Folder.  When the user is deleted from the Lucid account, are the documents this user created in the Technology Team Folder still accessible by

Height of Org Chart departments

Hello, In Lucidchart, while creating an Orgchart, when i increase the height of a department, it creates a gap in the next departments. How can i avoid this? In other words, when i increase the height of Sales and Marketing boxes (in this case; a and b), c increases automatically (comparing to d). I would like to keep c the same with d. Is there a way to do this?

Where has the model theme button gone?

There use to be a model theme button in the tool bar that would allow you to alter the theme of your entire project. Instead you now have to go through conditional formatting to create a specific theme which is both much more time consuming and more complicated. Does anyone know where this feature can be found now?

Timeline with integrated data

My team uses Azure DevOps to track our work.  Lucid has an integration with DevOps that allows you to add cards to a dynamic table, and they update their values as people make changes in DevOps.  This is great; I love it. My issues is that I would like to do release planning and see how the work pushes out into the future.  The Lucid Timeline control should be perfect for this.  However, I cannot drag my DevOps cards into the timeline, only cards created in the timeline.   Is there a way to get the Azure DevOps linked cards to work with the Lucid Timeline?

🚦Optimize your team’s decision-making using relative ranking in Visual Activities!

In Visual Activities, you now have the option to view results as a relative ranking with single-axis prioritization activities! Because Visual Activity participants can vary in how they prioritize items, the results are sometimes skewed based on an object’s location on the axis rather than how a user ranked it compared to other items. Relative ranking helps with this, providing you with a clearer look at your team’s priorities.So how are these results calculated?Each object is given a score based on how participants ranked them—1 for the highest priority, then 2, all the way down to the last item. The average score is taken for each object and ranked. The object with the lowest average has the best rank and therefore the highest priority.Check out this example. Four participants ranked three items using different portions of the axis. Here are their individual responses:  Going solely off of location on the axis, Item 2 would be ranked last. But let’s take a look at each item’s average

Change to Lucidchart UI - Lines and Shapes generator

Hello.I’m not sure what happened to Lucid, but lately I’ve noticed that it’s been very difficult to pull a line from some shapes (like tables, paralelograms, etc.).  Instead of the line being easily pulled, the mouse grabs the shape and reshapes it.  This only startted happening a couple of weeks ago.  I have also heard this complaint from multiple people, which makes me believe that it’s not something I’m doing wrong.  It’s somethign that happened to the Lucid UI.

Trouble with Google sheets and Lucid Cards

Hi, Im importing rows from a google sheet into lucid (ideally into a team space) so I can create a visual timeline for the work.If something is updated on google sheets will it be reflected on the lucid card automatially? And vice versa? Sometimes the cards populate with the information but not always, is there a way to ensure the consistency? When the cards import properly, and I add them to a timeline they are cleared of the information, can I please have some guidance?KR,Chloe

Is there a limit on how many containers you can have?

I’m trying to add an additional container, but every time I try, the app just takes me to the name of the last added container as if it wants me to rename (reuse?) it? Is there a limit of how many containers one can add?
