Visio Shape Hyperlink
Does anyone know if you can create a link for a visio shape? I'm trying to
create an office seating chart and I have the employee information in a Visio list so I know I can create a hyperlink from an item on the list to a specific Visio shape (cubicle). However, I want to be able to hyperlink in the opposite direction so that if someone clicked on a name/cubicle, it would take them to the specific employee in the list. |

Visio Shape Hyperlink
Are the items in the list individual shapes?
If, so then Yes, so long as you are using the hyperlinks in the Visio environment "Coco" wrote in message ... Does anyone know if you can create a link for a visio shape?

Visio Shape Hyperlink
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the shapes would be individual shapes, but how do
I create a hyperlink for each one of them? I was able to figure out how to link one shape to another in the same Visio file, but in this case, I'd need to place the hyperlink to the Visio shape in a SharePoint list so I don't know how to create the actual url for the shape. Thanks again. "David Parker" wrote: Are the items in the list individual shapes? If, so then Yes, so long as you are using the hyperlinks in the Visio environment "Coco" wrote in message ...

Visio Shape Hyperlink
If you have a SharePoint list for each desk and employee, then, in Visio
2007 Pro, you can add the list to an External Data window, then you can link the row to each shape. Moreover, you could automatically create hyperlinks on each shape. "Coco" wrote in message ...

Visio Shape Hyperlink
Thanks for help. I don't think I have Visio Pro though. When I open "About
Visio" it says Microsoft Office Visio 2007 (12.0.6300.5000) SP1 MSO. Will that limit my ability to do this? Also, I was able to link the row data to the shapes so I can go from the shape to the list, but how do I go from the list to the shape? What would the shape url look like in the list? Also, would it be better if my Visio file "lived" in MOSS? Thanks again "David Parker" wrote: If you have a SharePoint list for each desk and employee, then, in Visio 2007 Pro, you can add the list to an External Data window, then you can link the row to each shape.
