The crow's foot E-R diagram notation uses a hash mark to indicate a maximum cardinality of one and a crow's foot to indicate a maximum cardinality of many.Each symbol is placed immediately next to the rectangle symbolizing an entity.These symbols are combined in various forms to signify 1:1,1:N and N:M relationships.
