Draw process using data

[Anonymous]

I am wondering if it is posible to create workflow diagrams using data 

If I know 

Visual   Connected to Visual

1                         2

2                         3

2                         4

1                         5

3                         5

4                         5

Visual           form property

1                      Rectangle

2                      Round

3                     Rectangle

4                      Triangle

5                      Tube

Then could it be posible to draw those shapes automaticaly, 

Showing data on the shapes dynamicaly based on data would make endless posiblities to visualise processes and show botlenecs 

This is all to do more with processmining in powerbi and not with sp

@Anonymous , I doubt that. But check this visual can help

From good to great, I like to generate the drawing using data preferably without using visio at all. so with dynamic data generate a flow diagram. Building the flow diagram takes a lot of time while moste of the time you can extract all steps and relations from an application.

if not posible I think of processing the drawing using powershell like described here.

Hi @Anonymous ,

If we want to create a flowchart dynamically, we need to use a custom visual.

Maybe you can find such a visual in Business Apps – Microsoft AppSource.
