Using Visio Web Access Web Part to dynamically display visio drawings in document library according to which folder a user is viewing

I have a document library web part in SharePoint 2010. There is also a Visio Web Access Web Part on the same site, side by side with the doc lib. In the folder structure of the document library web part (it is pretty complex and a few levels deep),
each folder contains one and one only Visio diagram. I want the Visio web access web part to display the visio drawing that exists in what ever folder the user is currently browsing. For example.. if the file structure is as follows below and a user clicks
on folder A from the list I would like the Visio Web Access web part to display the visio diagram that lives in folder A. Same for any folder at all anywhere in the structure that the user is viewing, dynamically changing as the user browses the directory.
Is this possible?
1.0 Folder A
1.1 Word Doc
1.2 Visio Doc
1.3 Folder a.1
    1.3.1 Word Doc
    1.3.2 Visio Doc
    1.2.3 PDF Doc
    1.2.4 Folder
2.0 Folder B
2.1 Word doc
2.2 Visio doc
2.3 pdf doc
2.4 Folder B.1

Got this to work. Made a new data view in a designer for document library. Created parameter and used it to filter the data view. Then I connected the visio's shape data to the parameter and OOB sorting and filtering works as expected.

Visio Web Access web part connection order

I have a Visio Web Access webpart that is currently connected to 3 different query filter webparts. Here is what the query filter webparts are doing
- #1 - This is passing in the page name to the "Web Drawing Url and Page Name" connection
- #2 - This is passing in the shape name to the "Shapes to Highlight" connection
- #3 - This is passing in the shape name to the "Shape to View" connection
#2 and #3 pull from the same query string variable because I want to highlight AND center/zoom on a selected shape. Everything works fine if I am already on the default page for the drawing but if I need to have it show a different page the highlighting
works but the center/zoom functionality does not work.
I assume this occurs because it is doing the zoom/center before it changes drawings. I tried changing the order in which I made the connections so that the center/zoom would come last but that did not work.
How can I make it so that it will do the center/zoom on pages that are not the default?

I have 3 query string filter web parts and they are all connected to the Visio Web Access web part through the browser. There is no problem in setting up the connections. The problem is that trying to change pages, highlight a shape, and zoom
in/center on a shape in the same page load does not always perform as expected. Here is a more elaborate description of what I'm doing:
I have two query strings, "OfficeFloor" and "Employee" which are being passed into the web page. The query string web part for "Web
Drawing Url and Page Name" grabs the page name from "OfficeFloor" because each of my pages in the Visio drawing represents a floor plan ("1st Floor", "2nd Floor", etc.). The query string web parts for "Shapes
to Highlight" and "Shape to View" BOTH pull from "Employee" because each shape in the Visio drawing represents
where an employee sits. So an example request for the page would be "http://www.website.com/EmployeeFinder.aspx?OfficeFloor=3rdFloor&Employee=BobSmith" which would ideally make the Visio Web Access web part go to the page for the 3rd floor and then
zoom/center and highlight where Bob Smith sits.
If the "3rd Floor" page is the default page for the Visio web access then it works fine and it zooms in, centers on, and highlights the "Bob Smith" shape. However, if the "3rd Floor" page is not the default then it will only highlight
the "Bob Smith" shape and NOT zoom in/ center on it.

Thanks

Hi,
We can click “OPEN IN EXCEL” to open and save the Excel file, then the edited data will be saved.
If you display a chart in Excel, we can create a InfoPath form to edit the excel Workbook, here is a blog for your reference:

Excel web access web part Refresh

Dear All,
Please let me adress my SharePoint issues to you.
Current situation:
I currently have an excel file stored in one of my sharepoint libraries.
The excel file has two tabs.
The first tab contains data exported from a sharepoint list (with data connection)
The second tab has a customized table based on the first tab.
I created a page and added a Excel Web Access web part. The above mentioned excel file (tab2) is viewed in this web part.
Problem:
Everytime I change something in my sharepoint list, the changes will not be viewed in the web part. The changes will only view when I open the excel file in the library first, and then save it.
Question:
Is there a way I can refresh the data automatically, or manually without having to leave the page of the web part?
If anyone has a solution please let me know, thank you for your help!
Bob

you can configure automatic data refresh. fairly simple. this article is for SQL data source, but the same process applies across the board.

Restricting user access based on a site column value in a document library.

We have a business requirement to show the contents of a document library based on a value (or values) in the site column (or multiple columns). For example, my document library has a custom site column called confidentiality. This
will have values like restricted, internal and public. Now, based on the AD Group the user belongs to, I should be able to control the access to Restricted or Restricted and Internal files from the document library. We are using SharePoint Online 2010.
Please suggest the best way to achieve this requirement?

SharePoint's security model doesn't allow you to specify security based on metadata. You could however create a Sandboxed Solution containing a Feature that registers a custom event receiver on the Document Library. The logic inside this
Event Receiver would fire after editing item properties (ItemUpdated) to apply item-level permissions based on the rules you need.
Make sure to read the article below to determine if fine-grained permissions are suitable in your case:

Using Nightly to access web-based email - Won't allow me to send an attachment - Please Help

I sometimes need to access my email through a browser. When using nightly I have, on several, been unable to send a file attachment. A few minutes ago I got a pop-up that said that nightly was blocking all attachments for security reasons. - The popup disappeared before I was able to read it fully. The attachment was an innocuous document from a standard word processor with no macros or other potentially hazardous content. I do, from time to time, need to send attachments to colleagues using a web-based email interface. How can I get Nightly allow this?
Thanx in advance.

HI CosmicWolf,
In about:settings please check the list of pop up exceptions under Content. It is also possible to click on the icon next to the url and look at "Page Info". From this menu under Permissions see is pop ups are blocked.
Its a bit hidden, but it can be changed. [[Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting]]

Excel Services and Excel Web Access Web Part on O365 SharePoint...

I am using O365 E3 w/SharePoint and I have successfully created Pivot Charts via PowerPivot to query oData feeds from a couple of SharePoint lists. I was not able to refresh the data on O365 until I performed
this operation.
I updated the data connections in the report to refresh when the report is opened (which runs when the page with a referenced chart is accessed), but now there is a "Query and Refresh Data" warning that appears when the page is loaded; poor UX.
I have read that there is a way to turn off this warning in SharePoint on-prem, but that doesn't help me with this nagging dialog box. I tried to move the report to a BI site in the collection and changed the report to use data connection files in the Data
Collection Library hoping for enough trust for this message to cease, but ... No joy.
Is there anything That I can do to keep the refresh on page load and lose the warning on O365? Maybe there is a Javascsript workaround someone can help with (I'm not much of a JS Dev).

Hi,
According to your post, I have done a test in my SharePoint on-line and reappeared your issue.
If the issue occurred at SharePoint on- premise, go to SharePoint Central Administration > Application Management > Service Applications > Manage service applications > Excel Services
application > Trusted File Locations and click on the Address that contains the workbook. In the External Data section, under Warn on Refresh, uncheck Refresh warning enabled and click OK.
Refer to the following link:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/excel_services__powerpivot_for_sharepoint_support_blog/archive/2013/10/22/excel-services-query-warning.aspx
Unfortunately, the feature to disable the ‘Data Refresh Warning’ is not available yet in SharePoint Online.
Because the option needs the SharePoint Central Admin level permission that is not opened to the public in Office 365 now.

Hi Octopus,
Based on the error message, it seems that the Visio Graphics Service is not started or the Enterprise feature is not enabled.
I recommend to check the things below:
Go to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage service on server > check if the Visio Graphics Service is started > then click Application Management > Manage service applications > check if the Visio Graphics Service application
is created.
Go to the root site settings page of the site where you got this error, click Site collection features to check if the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection Features is enabled.
Go to the site settings page of the site where you got this error, click Manage site feature to check if the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Features is enabled.

Open VDW files stored on file share using Visio Web Access

Hi,
Is it possiblwe to view VDW files that are stored in a file share using Visio Web Access in SharePoint?
If so, how?
Opening up a Visio Web Drawing stored in a SharePoint document library is straight forwards however I want to view a visio web drawing stored in a file system using the web access service.
Hope I'm made myself clear.

Visio Web Access Refresh in SharePoint Online 2013

I'm trying to pull in SharePoint Online 2013 List data into a Visio Pro 2013 diagram and then serve the diagram into a SharePoint Online Page under a Visio Data Access Web Part.
I have no working knowledge of Visio, but made a data connection and presented SPO list data on my diagram. But the data appears to be static when deployed to the Visio Access Web Part - even when I manually refesh. I think, I'm not correctly
adding list fields to my document.
I've set refresh rates on both the document and the web part, but neither help.
For a demo I want to show a single list field - nothing fancy.
Possible to have dynamic data from an SPO List hosted in SPO?
Any way to filter which row is sent from through a URL Query string?
How?

Hi ,
Per the following article, the data sources will be disconnected and can't be refreshed after the Visio is published to SharePoint.
"You can publish PivotDiagrams or Timeline diagrams to SharePoint, but they are disconnected from the data sources and can’t be refreshed."
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/visio-help/save-diagrams-to-sharepoint-HA102749359.aspx
And also I would suggest you post in Office365 SharePoint online forum for a better assistance regarding this issue through the following link.

Hyperlinks don't work in Visio Web Access

Hi guys,
I need a little help here. I'm using Visio Web Access (Sharepoint 2010). My shapes have 1 hyperlink each. When I publish these files, sometimes it's possible to simple click on the shape to go to the hyperlink, but sometimes it doesn't work at all.
Can anybody help me, please?
Thanks in advance!
Ju Yoko

Hi,
I have a test with Firefox, the hyperlink behind the shape doesn’t work as expected. You can try this workaround:
Edit the page in Firefox and Edit the Visio Web Access web part.
Check ‘Disable Hyperlink’ under ‘Web Drawing Interactivity’ tab.
Then save the changes.
Edit the web part again to uncheck ‘Disable Hyperlink’. Save the changes.Now the hyperliks will work.
I have a test with Firefox and IE9 and this workaround works. I don’t have Google Chrome installed, you can have a test.
Thanks,

Question about "Get Web Drawing URL and Page Name From" for Visio Web Access

I am trying to get both the web drawing URL and the page name from a list through Share Point Designer 2013, but it doesn´t work.
It looks fine when a do the web part connection wizard. I select from which columns to get the URL and the page name. But on the final web part page nothing happens. It just shows the URL that is selected in the Visio Web Access Web part. I had hoped that
that value should be overrided by the SPD-settings.
I have googled for hours..

Hello,
I have now saved the Visio-file in .vdw-format, but it says Visio 2010 Web Drawing (*.vdw). Is there a .vdw-format for 2013? Isn´t that the .vsdx-format?
Still doesn´t work with the .vdw-format, but maybe I am doing something wrong.
Any ideas?
