Microsoft Office Visio “12″
Office Visio “12,” the code name for the next generation of the Microsoft Office Visio business and technical diagramming program, will help organizations make more effective business decisions by enabling people to capture, visualize, analyze and communicate complex information, processes and systems. Complementary to Project “12″ advancements, Visio “12″ will help organizations take more effective action and make decisions more effectively by enabling people to capture and understand complex data.
In Visio “12,” new features and enhancements will make Visio diagrams even easier and faster to create, as well as more professional-looking:
- Design diagrams and graphics. Visio “12″ delivers new diagramming and graphics capabilities that make it easier to document, design and redesign processes and systems. Using the new Themes feature, customers can choose a color or effect theme for a diagram with a single click. People can also apply conditional formatting to data using the new Data Graphics Gallery task pane. This type of visual representation allows organizations to quickly weed through complex information to identify key trends, exceptions and insights.
- Connect to data sources. With the new Data Selector wizard, it is simple to connect Visio diagrams to one or more data sources such as Microsoft Office Excel®, Microsoft Office Access, Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server or Microsoft SQL Server(TM). In addition, customers can associate shapes in a diagram with data using the new Automatic Link Wizard.
- Track trends and flag exceptions. The new PivotDiagram template in Visio “12″ helps people visualize business data in a hierarchical form that shows data groups and totals, trends, issues, and exceptions. PivotDiagrams can also be inserted into any Visio diagram to provide metrics and reports that help track the ongoing progress of a process or system.
