multiple hide show on parameter alarm for single shape

In an Element shape in Visio I already have Parameter set to 207|Show;ALARM which is working as intended, and is visible when parameter 207 is in alarm.

However if Parameter 204 is in alarm I want that to ovveride the above and make sure it is always hidden when 204 is in alarm, regardless of parameter 207, Originally I thought something like this: 207|Show;ALARM;204|Hide;ALARM;  however the dataminer help as linked below states "SHOW and HIDE conditions cannot be combined in one single Alarm field."

What would be the best practice way to achieve this in visio?

Hi Sam,

This should be achievable by using multiple layers of Shape.

  1. Create Shape A (for parameter 207 with shape data Show).
  2. Create Shape B (for parameter 204 with shape data Show) and position over Shape A.

Please let us know if it works for your use case.

Thank you for the insight of this different approach.

Had a play with that but it didn’t quite work in this scenario

Can change Shape B based on parameter 204, but if 204 is in alarm I need Shape A to also disappear irrespective of parameter 207.

However your suggestion did help me sort out something else I was working on – so thank you for that one!
