Calling on Visio experts
I have built a shape in Visio linked to an element that displays the value of parameter into the shape
Example of Shape data below:
Element - Element Name
Parameter - 1613:*Value*
Options - NoAlarmColorFill
This all works fine however when I click the shape its take me to the element rather than to the specific parameter with value of interest in the Element. Is there a filter option that I can add to the shape that will do this?
Since it’s not yet possible to navigate to a card that filters a table based on an index, i suggest to do this workflow using the Visual Overview instead.
You’re on the right track with a parameter control (you can open a popup that contains this parameter control when clicking the shape instead of navigating to the element).
You can configure a parameter control shape to filter its rows based on a value. In your case, this could be the primary key of the row which will result in one visible row.
To filter a parameter control, use the ‘ParameterControlOptions’ shape data and set the value to ‘ClientSideRowFilter:”MyColumnName”:MyValue’. For instance: ‘ClientSideRowFilter:”Process PID”:2488’.
Hi Terry, It looks like your shape is referring to a table cell. Not sure if you can open the details of the cell directly, but you could add an option to navigate to the data page of the table. You would need to add the shapedata 'Page' with the as value the name of your data page on the element (e.g. data:General).
Note: This is also explained in the basic training of Visio which you can find and enroll to in the Learning section. The training contains a lot of great content, so I advise to have a look at it.
Some clarification
I want to display just the row in the element default Visio (page/subpages) when clicking the shape that displays parameter value rather then displaying the full element default Visio and having to navigate you way to the row that has the value
Parameter Control seems to be an option but can’t get it to work
