Visual Overview – How to initialize a variable on an embedded page that is used in multiple shapes

I have a chassis with 10 slots which can contain an IP, SDI, or Compute Blade card.

In Visio each slot type has a dedicated page (Slot_IP, Slot_SDI, and Slot_Compute Blase). A shape is created for each slot. The shape will load the correct embedded page based on the value in the Type column of the Slots table.

Now I need the Slot number as a variable on the different slot pages so that I can link the KPIs to the correct element data. How can I do this?

I don't believe this is possible at the moment for embedded pages. It's a nice request though, so feel free to suggest it.

We do have support for passing a value to a newly openen card though using the NewCardVariable option (see help).
