Is it possible to launch an Automation script when a visual overview is loaded?
It is possible when closing a visual overview with the OnClose shape data, but I couldn't find a solution for running a script at the moment the visual overview is loaded.

This was a question coming from a user.
This user is building an app/workflow with multiple visio pages that is being monitored by operators.
When an operator his work shift is done, another operator takes over this monitoring duty, and starts this app in his cube client. At this point, some configurations need to be set/reset. This could be done manually, but we were looking for a way to automate this.
I have tested this and it should work if you add the following Shape Data to your page.
- Execute: Script:Stencils_Demo|myElement=[this element]|myParameterPid=150;myParameterValue=1|||NoConfirmation|SetTrigger=ValueChanged
- Options: ExecuteSetsOnInit
Note:
- Change the content of the Execute shape data to your script name and inputs.
- As stated in the Help, this feature is available from 10.1.1 onwards.

Hi Matthijs, just out of curiosity, what is the underlying use case for this? What kind of action needs to be done via automation when a specific Visual Overview is accessed?
