Linking a shape returns a blank window

In some diagrams, a shape linked to a dataminer element (Nimbra Device) has been added.
A couple of datafields have been added, with the following specs:

  • VdxPage perf mon nimbra test|window ===> “perf mon nimbra test” is the name of the vdx visio supposed to be displayed in the window
  • LinkOptions Width=542|Height=542

The “perf mon nimbra test” page would need to be displayed in the popup window when clicking the shape, but a blank window is the result.

Would you have an idea what is causing this issue?

This configuration should work for pages in the same visio file.

If the page is on another element/view/…, make sure to also add a link by using a view or element shape data with the name or id of the view or element.

The vdxpage item should not use the element name, but the page name, if you have only one page in your Visio file and have not changed it, this is by default “Page-1”, but do check in Visio as this can vary with the installed language of the Visio application.
