Link Subshape based on row of table to element

Pascal Puzio [DevOps Advocate]270 3rd May 2023 0 Comments

I'm generating some shapes based on rows in a table. Generating shapes based on table rows.

However I'm having issues associating the child shapes to the elements. I use this https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Basic_Functionality/Visio/generating_shapes/Generating_shapes_based_on_table_rows.html#displaying-information-from-the-data-table-instead-of-the-linked-element guide.

Table is as follow:

I use the following (sub)shapes for the Instance.

I tried different options, also with wildcards, * or **, but there will no info displayed. Looks that there is no reference between the main shape and subshape.

Any help is appreciated.

If I understand the use case correctly, being generating one shape per table row, I think you might be overthinking it.

There is no need for multiple subshapes.

An example of this can be seen on our live demo system, view "Visual Overview Design Examples", Visual page "Children//Table Rows".

I have to admit the documentation on the part you linked in the docs could be a bit better. I'll see if I can improve it a bit.

Thanks Toon,

You mean with live system the Ziine system? If I there download the visio, than the visio page ” Children//Table rows” is showing only 1 example instead of all.

I’m not sure with “only 1 example”? There is indeed only one children shape on there.
