Visio 2013 Org Chart Changing Picture Quality

Hi,
I'm trying to make an org chart with a lot of employees. I can generate the chart with the wizard, but if I add pictures, Visio tends to crash before finishing. I ended up generating the org chart with the wizard and then added the pictures using vba and the
ChangePicture function. This works well enough to solve the crashing problem. However, for larger JPEG images (300KB or larger), many of them don't seem to show up. If they do, they tend to randomly disappear and reappear when I go through the different pages
of the chart and come back to it. Is there a way to lower the picture quality using vba before or after putting them on the chart?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, we might try to troubleshooting the Visio 2013 crash during you using the Organization chart and check if it is helpful. I have some questions:
How many images do you insert to the diagram?
Where do you get the
organization information (Photos)? Form exchange server, text, excel file or ODBC-compliant data source?
Please try the following methods:
Install the latest patches.
Start Visio in
safe mode.
Repair Visio.
Add the size of virtual memory
If the issue still exists, please check what happened when Visio 2013 crash via the
event log.
If you need further assistance about "lower the picture quality" via VBA, please post your question to MSDN forum:

Visio 2013 Org Chart Pictures using Exchange as a Data Source

When I run the org chart wizard it creates the org charts however no pictures show up. How do I make the pictures show up when Exchange is the data source? We use Exchange 2010, Lync 2010, Outlook 2010 & 2013 and pictures show up in all those apps and
are loaded in AD.
WHat needs to be checked or configured to have the org-chart in Visio 2013 show those pictures?

Hi，
If you want to show the pictures in the Organization chart， we need to add the photo the display
fields. Please try to do the following steps:
Create a new Organization chart> Organization Chart Wizard choose information that's already stored in a file or database> Choose A microsft Exchange Server directory> Select Photo and add to display fields> Choose the information which you want
to show> I want to specify how much of my Organization to display on each page > Choose the team

Sharepoint 2013 Org Chart Viewer

Hello,
I have a sharepoint 2013 site for a project I'm working on. I want to put the org chart viewer on a page that exists outside of the my site. I have put the web part on the my site, exported it and then put it on the page
where I want it and it fails to load. I have also taken the HTML used for the web part from the my site page and put it on the page, but it still fails to load.
Is it possible to put the org chart viewer control on a non my site page? If so, how is this done?
Thanks
Jim

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to put the org chart viewer control on a non my site page.
It is possible to put the org chart viewer control on a non my site page.
SharePoint 2013 Server come with a feature called the "Organisation Browser" to display organisational information. By default the web part is located on every user’s ‘My Profile’ tab on their MySite and it can be added to other pages if required.
SharePoint Org Chart web part provides all of the capabilities mentioned above that the SharePoint Organization Browser lacks, plus a whole lot more.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

Visio interactive org chart display issue

Hi,
I've imported data from exchange server to automatically generate structure chart for a department. I've then saved it as a webpage as well as the normal visio file.
I save all the files on a network folder, before transferring them to the 'live' web server.
The webpage displays correctly when i launch it from the network folder, but as soon as i transfer it to the live server all the boxes on the page are empty, almost as if it's missing the data which should go inside each box.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Preview from launcher wouldn't work, but configured link iview and then it worked.

Org Chart Shapes are no longer recognized as org chart shapes by Visio 2013

I created an org chart in Visio 2013 by importing data from Excel. It generated the org chart properly. I then began cleaning up (i.e. Best Fit to Page, changing layouts on pages, changing size & spacing) as need to be visually more
appealing. After cleaning up many pages, Visio no longer recognized the shapes on the page as org chart shapes. This now causes the 'Best Fit to Page' feature to display a msg stating "Add organization chart shapes to your drawing, and
try again." It also causes the 'position' (employee) shapes under a 'manager' shape to no longer move with the manager shape when the manager is repositioned. This is now true for all shapes on all pages in my org chart. Can the
shapes be fixed to go back to being recognized as org chart shapes?

Is there a limit of the number of pages for an org chart in Visio 2013?

I created an org chart in Visio 2013 by importing data from an Excel file. It created 300 pages. Besides opening & saving the file very slowly, it functioned as I expected (i.e. layed out the chart properly & links worked to drill
between pages). I needed to visit each page to clean up the layout (i.e. add spacing, change layout, etc). After fixing approx 130 pages, Visio shut down unexpectedly. Fortunately I had been saving regulary. I reopened the file
and continued working. It then would shut down after updating every 25 pages or so. The file size is 5.3 MB. I'm running Windows 7 with 4 GB RAM. Is there a limitation to the number of pages before Visio becomes unstable?

based on my test,there is no limit

Removing the picture option from an Org Chart

I am creating a new org chart from an excel upload but I don't want to use pictures. Am I able to remove this feature?

Hi,
Would you like to tell us which Visio version do you use? As far as I know, if we create an organization chart from Excel worksheet data, Visio won't import the pictures that stored in Excel to the drawing, we need to insert pictures after completed
the organization chart.
Do you mind sharing more information? I'll appreciate for it.

VISIO 2013 with erlier vss stencils (I have changed the trust on them)

Hi guys I hope somebody can help me here because I am almost giving up and going back to Visio 2010! :(
My problem:
I have a lot of Visio Stencils from HP,Microsoft,Cisco,etc.. (Visiocafe and Microsoft own defaults) and after I have upgraded my Visio 2010 to Visio 2013 and after I have trusted it to open/save Visio 2003+ binary I could no longer used it!
I can see the shapes images and colors on the stencil pane on the left side, mas as soon that I drag the shape to the document the shape becames a empty square/rectangle with a CROSS and sametimes I even loose the ability to drag it around the document (normally
changing theme do that).
Do anyone have the same problem or its just me?
Thanks in advanced for any help you can give
I hope these images are selfexplanatory of my problem :)

John,
I'm not a visio expert, can you explain exactly what you mean with "masters"?
The "badly behaved" shapes all came from the "Exchange Conector" stencil that is open in the 1st snapshot (as an example because all the "old" stencils have more or less the same behavior).
That is the problem, the 1st snapshot shows at the left the stencil were I have dragged the shapes from (Exchaneg Connector) but even when they display correctly in this stencil preview, as soon as they are dragged to the document they appear badly.
The 2nd snapshot is, as you said, the document stencil were we can see the "badly behaved" shapes that were added to the document from the "Exchange Connector" and the "well behaved" shapes that were added from the "default"
visio 2013 stencils.
Thanks for the reply and best regards.

Nakisa Org unit's boss in the org chart

Hi everyone,
In the Nakisa Org Chart I'd like to place teh portrait of the leader of an org unit into the Org unit view box. I'm not talking about the positions I'm talking about the org units.
My question is: Is this possible? I know that this is possible in the positions. But what about the org units? The problem is when I add a image I can't see possible fileds becasue there is no Photo Url field:
The only available field int he Picture section is: SAP OrgUnitHierarchyViewDetail2
But when I choose this, there is no Picture Url field in the selectabe fileds.
As I see this issue need some hacking. I have to modify the Function module, which retrieves the data, and change some non-used field to the picture Url
thanks
N.

Hi there,
You need to do it in the AppResources.xml file. You need to locate the detail configuration used by the view configuration that you want to add it to and add a linked detail to the SAPEmployeeDetailsConfiguration. The linked detail will look something like this:
       <linkeddetails>
        <linkeddetail name="SAPEmployeeDetailsConfiguration">
          <linkto>SAPEmployeeDetailsConfiguration</linkto>
          <links>
            <link>
              <passvalue>Object_ID</passvalue>
              <passfieldname>OrgUnitID</passfieldname>
              <passvaluesource>Data</passvaluesource>
            </link>
          </links>
          <mode>Data</mode>
          <recordlimit>0</recordlimit>
        </linkeddetail>
      </linkeddetails>
Change the two values to the correct ones for those details (they must be matching fields for each detail). If you then go back to the View designer you should be able to add fields from SAPEmployeeDetailsConfiguration.
Good luck!

Visio 2013 Default Line and Connector Styles

This question has been asked previously, but the answer is not sufficient. In the older versions of Visio, all you had to do was right-click and select the "set as default" option to set the default style for lines/connectors/shapes.
Where is this option for Visio 2013? No, I do not want to have to edit my custom template just to set a default style for lines/connectors/shapes. SETTING A DEFAULT SHOULD BE A BASIC FUNCTION.
Do I need to edit the themes? Because that option does not appear either. Do I need to create a custom theme? How does one do that?
Why should this be so difficult? It was a simple click-select before.

Hi,
According to my research, I tried to find the option “set as default”.
But I count find it both in Visio 2010 and Visio 2013.
I find that right-click each shapes>Add to my shapes>favorites.
So I think you can try to set default shapes to favorites.
Please check the following picture:
Now the mainstream software, including Office Flash Photoshop etc cancelled the option “set as default”.
They want users to customize their common tools or style.
Please refer to the following link:
http://superuser.com/questions/226521/how-can-i-change-the-default-properties-of-visios-connector-tool
I hope it's helps.

SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013 Issues

I currently have Visio 2013 and SharePoint Designer 2010 installed. I have two problems that I'm experiencing and any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. I'm able to export an already manually created workflow from SharePoint Designer 2010 as a .vwi file without a problem and am able to import the file into Visio Pro 2013. I
was also able to export the file from Visio once changes were made. However, when I go to import the file into SharePoint Designer I receive a message stating "This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a
different site, or the original workflow has been moved or deleted. To move a workflow between sites, use Save as Template (.wsp file) instead of Visio workflow drawing." I cannot figure out how to save it in the format the prompt is suggesting
as this is not available from the list of Save As options from Visio and when exporting from Visio the only format to do so is as a Visio Workflow Interchange (.vwi file). When exporting from SharePoint Designer I’m only able to export as a .vwi file
and the Save As option is not available in SharePoint Designer. Additionally, the file location where I exported from SharePoint and importing back into SharePoint is not changing, nor is the file name.
2. If I create a workflow from scratch within Visio utilizing the SharePoint 2010 shapes, I'm about to export without a problem and save as a .vwi file. I'm also able to import this workflow into SharePoint Designer, but the problem is the workflow
never actually shows up and I do not receive any errors.
Any help on either or both of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Use Visio 2010. You may be running into a compatibility issue between Visio 2013 and Designer 2010.

How to get mouse over shape to display data in Visio 2013?

Hi Visio pros,
I am required to create a diagram of our servers rack setup and will be publishing to a Web page using Visio 2013.
The goal is to mouse over the server shape and have the data be displayed. I have followed arguably every solution on the internet. I am either doing it wrong, or it might be outdated information.
I'm hoping Paul Herber, or other Visio pros would be able to help me with this situation as I am on a tight schedule and have exhausted my resources.
Things I have tried:
user.visEquivTitle in ShapeSheet
http://visualsignals.typepad.co.uk/vislog/2012/02/no-mouseover-with-visequivtitle.html
and
prop.(data name) in the comments within the miscellaneous section of the ShapeSheet.

Hi Sir!
I am open to the possibility that I may have done something wrong as I am very new to Visio.
Here are the steps I followed:
http://visio.mvps.org/ShapeSheet/
Browser that I am using is Internet Explorer since I ran into problems with Google Chrome.
However, after more reading I noticed the User.visEquivTitle provides a tooltip. If it is what I think it is, which is a small yellow box displaying a string, my employer would not want that.
We're looking for something that will provide an aesthetic display of data after mouse over onto the shape.
Thank you very much for your help.

I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page. At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often. This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector. Computer monitor first, TV second. But the thing is only 27 in. Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

Hiding/Removing field in a standard Detail view Org Chart 3.0 SP2

We are trying to remove or hide a couple of fields from the details at the position level in the admin console for the Org Char application and cannot seem to find this in the Details designer. We were able to do this for the Org Modeler, but the screen in the details designer doesn't seem to have this functionality in the admin console of the Org Chart application.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jacques

Hi Jacques,
There are 3 things you are trying to do here:
1. Change Location caption
2. Change Location field logic for data retrieval
3. Remove Mobile number and Fax number fields
Each of these has completely different methods and some are easier than others.
1. You need to change the caption for Location field. In the Caption Editor in the AdminConsole you need to change the caption key Field_Location.
2. I'm pretty sure this comes from a Nakisa BAPI and therefore cannot be changed. The alternative (and complex) methods are to either create a NakisaRFC function to extract this data or (for better performance) create a BAPI that extracts all data for that section of the details panel with your "new" Location field. These would be the same process if you wanted to add an entirely new field.
3. You should comment out these fields in the 75927beffed94564bef6af9d3045757e fieldset in the detail data configuration SAPPositionIncumbentsDetailsConfig_Data.xml.
Best regards,
Luke

Acrobat 11.0.10 Addin in Visio 2013

The Acrobat Addin is not visible in Visio 2013. The goal is to use the Addin to generate high quality PDFs. I already tried the following:
Reinstalling Visio 2013
Reinstalling Acrobat 11 with the full-installation option
Checking the registry for the load behavour of the plugin > Visio does not have an option for Addin load behaviour, since HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Visio is not existent. There is no option for the load behaviour in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Visio, the only folder that exists with the name 'Visio'.
Adding the Addin manually within Visio > the Addin does not get added, if the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is selected. Visio does not show any reaction.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I just realized, that Adobe Acrobat XI does not support Visio anymore, according to this source (German): PDFMaker nicht verfügbar | Office 2007, Office 2010 | Acrobat 9, Acrobat X, Acrobat XI
