Can I add more database types to the Connection branch?

Yes, the template is fully editable in Xmind. While it currently lists 'ElasticSearch' and 'MongoDb', you can easily add new sub-nodes for other databases like MySQL or Snowflake to customize the server configuration requirements.

How does this template handle user security planning?

It includes a dedicated 'permission' branch for 'custom role user' creation and a 'User Management' section to define roles and assets, allowing you to map out exactly which features are accessible to different user levels.

Is the Business Plan RETA template suitable for non-technical users?

While it contains technical terms like 'Schema' and 'Table', it is an excellent tool for non-technical founders to communicate their vision to developers by showing the flow of 'Home' search functions and 'Dashboard' visual requirements.
