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.

Based on the answer of Toon, I think hi is right. Maybe I overthink it.

So I looked further, and I hope that children shape is the solution.

I watched the follow course " Generate shapes based on table rows" , and this is more what we want. Only I get stuck on the following.

Not sure what to fill in on ChildrenSource: As the visio is linked to a protocol.

I know how to find the ID of the table. Only I cannot get the correct source linked.

Try using [this element] i.o. “Element”
