Create an Excalidraw diagram for one to one relationship. Draw two rectangles labeled Person and Passport, and connect them with a straight line. At each end place a clear 1 label or 1..1 marker to show the one to one rule. Add small icons: a simple person figure near Person and an ID card near Passport. Include a short note text that says each person has exactly one passport and each passport belongs to one person. Use a grid layout, equal box sizes, aligned text, light blue fills, and dark gray lines. Add a title at the top and keep the diagram clean and balanced.
Description
What is one to one relationship
one to one relationship is a simple rule where one item matches to only one other item and the match goes both ways. It can describe a person and a passport, a student and a locker, or a seat and a ticket. A clear diagram might show 2 boxes, 1 line, and labels that say 1 on each side. This makes the rule easy to explain and easy to check.
- Show a unique match clearly
- Keep records easy to verify
- Reduce duplicate entries
- Explain simple data rules fast
Unique match
A unique match keeps records clean because there is no duplication. If each item can only point to one partner, mistakes are and easier to spot. This is useful when accuracy matters more than quantity.
When to use one to one relationship diagrams/charts
Use this diagram when you set up accounts, track personal items, or manage access lists. It helps when you have 20 or more records and need to confirm that each one has a single partner. Teachers use it to explain simple data rules, and small teams use it to review lists before a launch. It also works for forms where each person should submit only one entry.
Record pairing
Record pairing is clearer when you label both sides with the same rule. A short note like one person to one card avoids confusion. Keep the labels close to the line so the rule is easy to scan.
How to generate the one to one relationship (graph/diagram/chart/drawing)
Open the diagram generator and choose an Excalidraw layout. Draw two equal rectangles, add a straight connector, and place a 1 or 1..1 label at each end. Add a short note that explains the example, then try prompt wording like unique match or single pairing to explore new layouts.
Simple data map
A simple data map should feel balanced with equal spacing and matching text size. Use light colors for the boxes and a darker line for the connection. If you add more items, place them in a neat row and keep the same one to one rule.

FAQs
Is one to one relationship always required? No. It is only needed when each item must have a single partner, like a person and a passport. If one person can have many items, use a one to many rule instead. Pick the rule that matches the real world situation.
Can I show optional matches? Yes. You can label one side as zero or one to show that a record may be missing a partner. Add a short note that explains when the match is optional. This keeps the rule clear without adding extra boxes.
What examples are easy for beginners? A student and a student ID is a simple example. A phone and a SIM card also works if each phone uses a single card. These examples are familiar and keep the focus on the rule rather than on complex systems.
How big should the diagram be? Keep it small. Two boxes and one line is enough for teaching. If you need extra detail, add one note below the line and avoid extra arrows. The goal is to make the rule visible in under five seconds.
Should I include numbers in the labels? Yes, use the number 1 on both ends or 1..1 if you want to be precise. Numbers communicate the rule faster than a long sentence. Place them near the connection points so the rule is not missed.
