Description:
Most of us learned Visio by doing: a boss or a colleague said “Can you create an org chart of our division?” or “We need a flowchart of this process. By tomorrow.” or “Fred created this diagram before he left. Can you update it for Monday’s staff meeting?” We make do with what we know, but never had formal training or time to discover better techniques.
Would you like to use Visio more effectively? Want to learn keyboard shortcuts and ribbon tips that will make you a Visio power user? Would you like to incorporate data into your diagrams and then leverage the data by automatically color-coding shapes and adding data-driven icons and graphics to create simple but effective BI dashboards? Are you interested in hyperlinking secrets that will double the communication power of any diagram? Want to add photographs to every person in an org chart with one click? Attend this session to uncover hidden dialogs, techniques, and features that will enhance your
use of Visio.
Learning Objectives:
- Use keyboard shortcuts and ribbon tips to become a Visio power user
- Uncover hidden dialogs, techniques, and features in Visio
- Leverage the power of incorporating data into a Visio diagram
