4.1 · Discrimination

1. What does linking shapes to data allow?

That each shape carries the data of a record (diagram = view of real data) To color automatically Print faster Nothing

The superpower that sets Visio apart from a drawing tool.

4.1 · Application

2. How to automatically link shapes to data?

Impossible By matching a common field (e.g. an identifier) By coloring them By printing them

Or manually (drag a line on a shape).

4.2 · Discrimination

3. What do data graphics do?

They delete data They print They visually display linked data (colors, icons, bars) They calculate

The information is obvious: visual dashboard.

4.2 · Application

4. What representation for a state (OK/failure)?

A data bar Nothing A long text A color code per value (green/red)

Bars for numerical values, icons for conditions.

4.2 · Exclusion

5. What makes a dashboard confusing?

Overload (too many indicators) and lack of legend A legend Sobriety Consistent codes

Choose a few key indicators, with legend.

4.3 · Discrimination

6. What is shape data?

The visible wording Structured properties attached to the form (IP, model, etc.), searchable One color A connector

Each form becomes an informed object.

4.3 · Application

7. Where to put the details of a shape without overloading?

In the wording In headline In shape data (attached, searchable) Nowhere

Concise wording (identity), details in form data.

4.4 · Discrimination

8. What does refreshing a linked diagram do?

It changes color It prints Nothing It remains up to date (living documentation): we maintain the data, it follows

Resolves documentation expiration.

4.4 · Application

9. What should be maintained for a reliable updated diagram?

The data source (Excel/base) — the diagram follows The drawing Color Nothing

Garbage in: the source must be up to date.

4.4 · Discrimination

10. What is a report in Visio?

One color Extraction of data carried by table forms (inventory, etc.) A connector One page

Bidirectional relationship: feed AND extract.

4.5 · Discrimination

11. What is diagram validation used for?

To color To print To verify that a flowchart/BPMN is logically correct and compliant To link data

It catches logical errors invisible to the eye.

4.5 · Application

12. When is validation really useful?

For a sketch Never For a simple organization chart For a serious/complex process diagram, before distribution

It targets structured diagrams (logigrams, BPMN).

4.1 · Recall

13. What does linking shapes to data do?

It displays and updates data in shapes She freezes the diagram It deletes the layers It replaces the layout

Linked shapes display data from a source (Excel, database) and can be updated: the diagram becomes living documentation.

4.5 · Application

14. What is the purpose of validating a diagram?

To choose a theme To detect logic or business rule errors To export as an image To share the file

Validation checks the diagram against rules (flow, connections, consistency) before distribution: it avoids propagating an error.
