Visio, Visio Services and BI – the story• The session will introduce Visio and SharePoint Visio
Services and then discuss Scenarios of implementation and also how this Can Help drive Cloud Adoption and selling of Office 365 Solutions.• It will also cover the necessary Visio and Visio Services
Basics to be able to create powerful visualisation Solutions and let them interact with other components like PowerBI.• After covering the VIsio Basics from a Technological
Point we will see how to create visualisations in VIsio Services (filled with real-Project Demos) and discuss the amount of Need and Requests from customers.
VISIO – THE ULTIMATE DIAGRAMMING PLATFORM
Visio – the diagramming platform• Visio is all about diagrams• Visio is NOT about „drawings“• The visualisation is just following SOME standard (BPM,
BPMN, UML, ISO)• It‘s the data we‘re interested in – Visio is all about
encapsulating data in graphical components being a placeholder and container• E.g. Orgcharts, Network components
• Diagrams are NEVER „real-life-look“ they‘re always simplifying reality to focus on core-information: the (meta-)data• Name for the graphical placeholders: shape• Name for the metadata: Shape data
Visio - basics• A Shape is a container for metadata (which is
customized to YOUR needs)• A Shape is always bound to a problem domain
(Network, IT, BPM)• Shapes visualize the components and their
dependencies or flow of data/information• Visio delivers thousands of Shapes for different problem
domains• The basis for a diagram is: a (problem-domain)
template, e.g. ISO Flowchart• Shapes from any domain can be used in any (other)
template – where it makes sense• There is not „the“ Visio department – any department
will benefit from one or more Visio templates and diagrams
• Visio is THE ultimate communication tool for intra and extra organizations information
Data connectivity in Visio• Since Visio 2007: data connectivity feature: connects a
Visio FILE to a data source – and then the individual shapes to a data record – importing the data into the shape• First step: select the datasource (more parallel sources
supported)• Second step: connect a data record to a single shape• Alternative: let Visio do the connection for you
Data visualisation and interpretation• Since Visio 2007: Datagraphics• A datagraphic is a package of evaluation rules for shape
data (SETS) of an individual shape• So a datagraphic is a container for several
datagraphic(s) which can be applied to a shape• 4 different evaluation types:• Text: simply the value• Data bar: for numeric values• Icons: assign a number/value/value range to an icon• Color by value: assign a color to one value
VISIO BASICS AS A DIAGRAMMING PLATFORMDATA VISUALIZATIONDATA CONNECTIVITY
VISIO SERVICES A SHAREPOINT COMPONENT FOR INTELLIGENT DIAGRAM PUBLICATION
Visio services – publication of live Visio diagrams in the Web• The problem with Visio is: it‘s a client application• Visio diagrams however often need/must be
communicated to other people WITHOUT them being given the ability to modify the diagram or severely „touch“ it• i.e. consume the diagram but not „take it away“
• Old approach: Export to… HTML, JPG, PNG• JPG,PNG,BMP: you loose all metadata• HTML: pretty ok - but : re-export after every change, no
update, file mess• Alternative: give away the Visio file – great for viewing
(viewer component) but: you give away the source of information
Visio Services• A component of SharePoint Server (Enterprise-Level) or
Office 365 (with certain plans)• Aloows the viewing and consuming of Visio files in the
browser (any SharePoint-supported browser)• However: • Users view the ORIGINAL Visio file• DataConnectivity stays intact• Data-update happens IN the server through Visio Services
• Users always see a live-udpated Visio file• Datagraphics UPDATE instantly on the server• BUT: no changes to the file itself are allowed – all
changes happen in memory
Visio Services 2• Service application within SharePoint Server
Enterprise/365• Just activate it
• In SharePoint Online: no configuration required(allowed)• In SharePoint on-prem: caching and loading time and
updating time • The values can be re-set to 0 for instant update (however:
high server-impact)• Usage: • either through right-click (but no customization)• Visio Services Webpart-> customization of UI, Update times
etc, including Webpart connections
VISIO SERVICES – BASICSPUBLISHING OF LIVE VISIO DIAGRAMSDATA CONNECTIVITY AND UPDATE(S)
BI WITH VISIO AND VISIO SERVICES
BI in Visio – or: the basic BI tool is Visio• So: • Visio is about encapsulated data – data in Shapes in diagrams• Visio Services is about (updated) publication of Visio diagrams
• What is BI: making (critical) business decisions based on data/diagrams/information
• Result: • Create a Visio diagram• Enrich it with data• Analyze/evaluate it with DataGraphics• Permanent monitoring/insight at your fingertips
