Editing in Visio — Flow properties

Field

Description

This field identifies the current stencil in use in the flow. To use a different stencil, select and click Change.

By default, the system uses the stencil selected in your Edit preferences when you create a new flow rule. See Developer portal basics - Setting preferences.

You can't change a stencil if any of the shapes on the diagram have the Visio protection setting "protect from deletion" enabled. Changing the stencil involves deleting the current shape and replacing it with a new shape from the new shape. To see whether a shape has this protection, right-click the shape, choose Format > Protection from the context menu, and examine the From deletion check box setting.

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 Developer portal basics - Setting 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.
