Session 9: Visualize business data with data graphics in Visio 2010

Learn how to visualize business intelligence linked to diagrams by using data graphics in Microsoft Visio 2010. This video reviews how to create and edit data graphics that display linked external data as text, colors, or icons directly in the shapes of your diagram—since the data links are dynamic, updates in the data source can be refreshed automatically. The video also covers how to apply data graphics to multiple shapes at once.
This video is part of a series covering the basics of how to use Visio features and capabilities. Learn more and view other videos in this series.

What am I looking at?

The diagram you can see here is a web view of the working file, published through Visio Services. Using the controls at the top, you can change which section of the file you see, zoom in or out for a closer or wider view, and even see linked data sources through the shape information pane.

With Visio Services and either Visio Professional 2010 or Visio Premium 2010, you can publish any type of diagram (static or data-linked) to SharePoint, so others can view the diagram without needing to have Visio installed on their machines.
