Hello,

I have a service with 4 elements (used alias for it) and I'm creating a dynamic Visio drawing.

Service
- alias Element 1
- alias Element 2
- alias Element 3
- alias Element 4

Elements 1,2 and 3,4 have the same protocol. Now I would like to have a trend graph from renamed Element 4 with 2 parameters. What is the best approach for it? Even using the full alias name is not working.

Hi Stefan,
Are you using the ‘ServiceContext’ data shape?

I tested also so ServiceContext. But in this case the view is for this service. No service is underlaying.

Hi Sebastiaan,

thanks again for your quick answer. I have never worked with variables inside of a Visio drawing. I guess even if it's a PageVariable it should be shown somehow to check the content.
Execute and options is set on page level, is this correct?
