Course Description
If you've ever needed to diagram a workflow, process or IT layout, Microsoft Visio has dozens of shapes, tools and templates to make it easy. This application helps you create diagrams for any procedure that can be more easily understood using shapes and connectors. This course takes you step-by-step and from start to finish in using Visio to create computer diagramming files.
This course starts by explaining the basic features of Visio including menu items, interface components and the Quick Access bar. It then goes into more intermediate features such as templates, stencils and adding a shape to your diagram. These shapes are connected using Visio Connectors, which are also explained.
Visio diagrams are more than just shapes. They can also comprise images, graphics, and data. You can also insert other files and their images into a Visio diagram. Data being the most important in projects, this course covers how to create data sets and link them to your shapes. This data can be exported when printing diagrams to a hardcopy or sending the Visio file to a third-party reader.
Finally, the course covers creating your own custom shapes and saving them for future use as master shape templates. You can then learn how to print and share these diagrams with other readers. Sharing can be via using a printer to create a hardcopy or share the file using the OneDrive account Microsoft creates when you sign up for an Office 365 account. With this course, you can create an IT, rack, basic flowchart, and many other diagrams for your business.
Course Lessons
Lesson 1: Introduction to Microsoft Visio 2019
Both charts have templates in Visio, but you must still customize the data to define your own procedures and hierarchy.Lesson 2: Navigating Microsoft Visio 2019
Familiarizing yourself with common Visio 2019 controls will make it easier to navigate when you create your own diagrams.Lesson 3: Working with Shapes
When creating a Visio diagram, you should understand which shapes are appropriate for your project.Lesson 4: Creating Invisible and Visible Structure in Drawings
Visio has tools that let you group shapes and place a container around them. These containers show the reader that the shapes within the structure should be considered as a grouped action and stands out in your diagram.Lesson 5: Working with Text
Using only shapes in a diagram doesn't give much detail on its workflow, so Visio provides a text tool for adding explanations to each shape.Lesson 6: Moving Beyond Basic Drawings
For each shape that you add to a diagram, data is applied to it. Visio keeps this data stored in the diagram file for exporting information or turning the information into another format. This information is used by other programs when you convert your Visio diagram to another format or turn it to another printable data type.Lesson 7: Continuing to Work with Shape Data
You don't need to create fields for each new shape that you create. Instead, you can create an entire data set that matches with a specific shape.Lesson 8: Inserting Images and Other Files into Visio 2019
Microsoft Visio makes it convenient to insert many file types into a diagram so that users can view its content without having access to the original file. Visio works especially well with other Microsoft formats created in Office 365.Lesson 9: Creating Flowcharts and Organization Charts
Both charts have templates in Visio, but you must still customize the data to define your own procedures and hierarchy.Lesson 10: Creating Network and Rack Diagrams
Administrators with large networks to manage can create diagrams that pinpoint every component in the environment. These diagrams can help audit and track equipment, explain the environment to new IT employees, and identify where changes should be made for expansion efforts. Visio has templates that support both network and rack diagrams, so administrators do not need to create their own stencils. These templates include shapes that follow industry standards, so they can be used in any office.Lesson 11: Customizing Shapes
Although Visio 2019 comes with dozens of premade shapes, you might want to create a custom one that fits your own organization's procedures.Lesson 12: Creating Data Graphics
With data graphics, you can tell Visio to display image prompts that help translate data linked to a workflow step.Lesson 13: Printing and Sharing Diagrams
Visio diagrams are mainly used in the enterprise, so after you finish creating them you can print and share them with others in your organization. Large diagrams can span several pages and need formatting before sending them to a hardcopy printer, so you might prefer to share the file using your Microsoft OneDrive account set up when you create an Office 365 subscription.
