Can a default Visual Overview page be loaded when opening a View from Surveyor?

Rajesh R [SLC] [DevOps Member]714 2nd July 2021 0 Comments

Hi All,

I’m trying to open specific pages for different Views when browsing from the Surveyor.

For example, I would like to open the respective Visual Overview pages by default for each view. Eg. Opening CH1 should go to the subpage in the Visio drawing

View           Visual Overview Page

Root            Overview

CH1            Channels//CH1

CH2            Channels//CH2

Having different Visio files is okay. However, I would like to maintain the page order in the Visual Overview for the 3 Views.

Please let me know if there is a way to achieve this.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Rajesh, when assigning a Visio file to the view, you can select which page number to use as the default page at the bottom of the dialog.

Hi Rajesh,

You could use the VdxPage option to do this, as it allows you to show a page from a visio on a different view.

If you e.g. would like to show the Channels//CH1 of the view Overview on the view CH1, you could add a shape with following shape data.

More information can be found on DataMiner Help.

Thank you for the feedback Leander.
The addition of a new shape in the example mentioned would mean the other Visual Overview pages are no longer navigable from the CH1 view. It reduces the navigability from the CH1/CH2 views. This is also a requirement in this scenario.

I would like to retain the same number of Pages, in the same order. But to just load a different Visual Overview Page for each View. Are there other ways this could be achieved?

Ok, if that is the case, the solution proposed by Michiel can surely help you on that.
