Shapes for Service-Now in Visio

[ozzie]

Does anyone have any SNC shapes for Visio ??

Dear SNC,
Please create an UI action, "Export workflow to Visio". Should be simple 🙂 It would speed up our documentation and workflow life cycle a lot!

Regards,
Dan

I found this article on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa218409(v=office.10).aspx that introduces the idea of how to create an XML file that can be read by Visio. Technically speaking, you could just create a UI action that writes the workflow activities out to a Visio XML file. The user would then download it, and modify the exact shape positions in XML.

Crazy? Yes and no; on the one hand, it shouldn't be too terrible to write off all the relationships among workflow activities. On the other hand, getting positioning data and making custom shapes in Visio might be a bit more involved.

Anyhow, if you build it, I'm sure a lot of documentation teams would love you.

mattberan created and posted the following Visio stencil on Twitter a while back. Not perfect (at least one of them has an odd behavior of not being resizable or the text cannot be edited or something), but still good. Enjoy!

Hi!

I just created a small stencil set with some icons I found useful for drawing an architecture overview.
