Hi Julian_v20191 

Acknowledging receipt of email, not sure about the error you received. 

I will get back to you soon.

Thanks,

Hi Shakun Grover ,

I send you an email, but I keep getting an error message. Please let me know if you received my email.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Shakun Grover ,

It is a procesflow represented in one single diagram.

I have send you an email with the procesflow itself and wherin I further explained my requirements.

Thanks for replying! 

Hi Julian_v20191 

Thanks for your message.

Is your process flow represented in a single diagram or is it hyperlinked to sub-process in other files/pages?

I have not fully understood your requirement, but based on the limited information I could gather, below is what I can recommend:

Visio Visual will support representation of a single page per Visio visual. If all your data is available or is joined in to one table which has distinct unique IDs, your data can be mapped to all shapes in the Visio diagram/s on a page. In short, Visio Visual supports mapping one data row per shape.

Do you mind dropping me an email at tellvisio[at]microsoft[dot]com to discuss this further?

Thanks,

Hi Shakun Grover ,

Last few weeks I have been working on a flowchart/process flow that represents all different warehouse operational flows that are happening and connected with each other. These process flows are from the inbound process of receiving the goods till the outbound process of loading the trucks and all processes in between them.

I already created the process flow in Visio and also downloaded the Visio visual add-in in Power BI and I am currently waiting on the right data. Eventually, I want to visualize the volumes that flow through each particular process. Do you know if this is even possible with the Visio visual add-in in Power BI?

Any other recommendations are of course also welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much Chad Stout. Glad you like it.

Shakun Grover, awesome feature/capability!  Love the healthcare-specific example, plan to share this with many of my customers. :)

Hi Ivan54,

Thanks for getting in touch.

There are a range of possibilities to create a diagram in Visio for your scenario.

See if the floor plan templates/stencils that come out of the box work for you?

As for your first option, if you are using lines to draw the diagram and shapes to represent rooms, you may want to have these shapes on the # layer for improved performance.

You can surely add 5 Visio Visuals to your report and have them show the 5 levels simultaneously but you would need a separate file for each floor because currently we support rendering the active page in a file. So, each Visio Visual would need to connect to a file for that floor. Hope this gives you some ideas to get started.

You can drop us an email at tellvisio@microsoft.com for feedback or questions.

Thanks,

Shakun

Hi Shakun Grover, 

we're currently in a medium sized project that requires the Visio Visual. I'm in the middle of preparing the Visio files and I wanted to ask for guidance.

We want to visualize our room booking information (building has about 5 levels) from our ERP system within PowerBI and utilize the Visio Visual. How would I best go about creating the Visio file.

I've currently thought about those options:

• redraw the whole building (all 5 levels) with Visio lines, and create a shape for every room to be visualized?
• use a simplified blueprint as the background image and just create the shapes (possibly on that # layer)?

On some dashboards we thought about displaying up to 5 (for every level) Visio Visual concurrently. 

Any recommendations are welcome.
