Overview of this book

Every business has process flows, but not all of them are fully described to or verified for accuracy with each stakeholder. This not only presents a risk for business continuity but also removes the ability to make insightful improvements. To make these complex interactions easy to grasp, it’s important to describe these processes visually using symbology that everybody understands. Different parts of these flows should be collaboratively developed and stored securely as commercial collateral. Visualize Complex Processes with Microsoft Visio helps you understand why it is crucial to use a common, systematic approach to document the steps needed to meet each business requirement. This book explores the various process flow templates available in each edition of Microsoft Visio, including BPMN. It also shows you how to use them effectively with the help of tips and techniques and examples to reduce the time required for creating them, as well as how you can improve their integration and presentation. By the end of this book, you’ll have mastered the skills needed to create data-integrated business flowcharts with Microsoft Visio, learned how to effectively use these diagrams collaboratively, but securely, and understood how to integrate them with other M365 apps, including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Power Automate.

Adding data graphics to highlight information

This section is an introduction to a subject that is covered in more depth at https://www.packtpub.com/product/mastering-data-visualization-with-microsoft-visio-professional-2016.

Data graphics is a feature available in Visio Plan 2 and Visio Professional that allows us to automatically display the values of Shape Data visually. These can be simply a different color for a specific value or a range of values, such as a text callout, a set of icons, or data bars. Each data graphic can be a collection of multiple text callouts; icon sets, or data bars, which can be positioned in a number of locations in and around each shape. It can also contain multiple color by value rows, but only the first row will be applied.

Data graphics can be created, edited, and applied manually to selected shapes using the Data | Advanced Data Linking | Advanced Data Graphics drop-down menu, as shown in the following screenshot:
