Editing in Visio — Flow properties
 

Field

Description

This field identifies the current stencil in the Visio flow. To use a different stencil, select and click Change. See Business Process Modeling Notation — definition.

When you create a new flow rule, the flow uses by default the stencil selected in your Edit preferences, or specified in the Template field on the New form. See Designer Studio — Setting your preferences and Flow rule — Completing the New or Save As form.

When changing stencils, a shape that is delete protected remains on the Visio flow; the new shape will overlay it. To remove the setting, select the shape, select Format > Protection, and select None on the Protection menu. Click OK to close the menu.

Click Hide to omit the likelihood percentages from the diagram. Click Show to present the likelihood percentages.

Click Update to recompute and display likelihood percentages based on the history of work objects processed on this system. (Recomputation may take several minutes, depending on volume.)

Select Portrait (default) to make the Visio workspace taller than wide.

Select Landscape to make the Visio workspace wider and less tall.

By default, Visio uses the orientation selected in your Edit preferences when you create a new flow rule. See Designer Studio — Setting your preferences.

Select to present a background grid in the Visio workspace. Clear to present no grid. The default Visio grid setting is a nominal value of 1/8th of an inch.
