Microsoft Visio Business Process Diagramming and Validation

Visio Validation book cover

Learn how to write validation rules for Visio desktop

If you are a Microsoft Visio Professional or Online Plan 2 user or developer who wants to get to grips with both the basic features of Visio and the Validation Rules introduced in Visio 2010, then this book is for you. A working knowledge of Microsoft Visio, and optionally .NET for the add-in code, is required, though previous knowledge of business process diagramming is not necessary. More experienced Visio users will gain valuable knowledge for building add-ins and creating and publishing rules. If you want to achieve results from Visio desktop beyond the ordinary out-of-the-box features, then this book is ideal for you. Although this book covers the Professional and Online Plan 2 editions, much of the book is still useful if you are a Visio Standard edition user.

Who this book is written for:

This book is aimed at the departmental-level operational or business intelligence professional or Microsoft Office power-user who wants to create data diagrams with Microsoft Visio that can accurately represent business information visually.
