Innovative uses of Visio Lists

A special type of container is a list, and there are only a few places where you can see this feature being used in the out-of-the-box Visio, so I have made a few more examples of how lists can be used.

Mastering Data Visualization Cover

Mastering Data Visualization with Visio book

Microsoft Visio is a data diagramming application that has so many uses beyond merely pretty artwork.

Master the art of presenting information visually using Microsoft Visio desktop by making shapes respond automatically to data value changes or learn how to easily extract data from structured Visio diagrams.

The cover may say Visio 2016 but all this applies to Visio 2019 and Visio Online Plan 2.

Visio Validation Rules book cover

Microsoft Visio Business Process Diagramming and Validation book

The structured diagramming built-in to Microsoft Visio is ideal for custom process diagramming, complete with rules to validate that the diagrams are well-formed.

This is the only book that explains how you can write custom validation rules to ensure that your team are creating all types of diagrams correctly and consistently.

The cover may say Visio 2013 but all this applies to Visio 2016, 2019 and Visio Online Plan 2.

Visio 2010 MVP Sessions

Microsoft asked three Visio MVPs to present a series of 24 videos explaining different aspects of Visio 2010.

Each spoke of this wheel provides a description and a hyperlink to the video on YouTube.

It may say Visio 2010 but most of this applies to Visio 2013, 2016, 2019 and Visio Online Plan 2.
