Visio dynamically generate shapes from table rows with row alarm status

Hi,

I have a Generic Ping element. I want to generate a shape for each of the rows in the Ping table. The generated shape would be a group that contains 2 sub-shapes: one shape to show the row's alarm status, and the other to show the Description text - without the alarm colour.

Below is what I have got so far; the issue is that all the rows are showing the element's alarm colour. I want them to show the corresponding row's alarm colour.

Any idea how I can achieve that?

Thanks

Trong.

Given that rows don't have an alarm status, I'm going to assume that one of the cells in your row is alarmed and you are referring to this alarm color. Let's say this is parameter 110 in your table. Then you can set the shape parameter shape data of the shape on the left to "110|Alarm" to show that alarm color.

Hope that helps you further. For more info, refer to the docs.

Ah! The "|ALARM" option does the trick. Thanks, Toon.
