Phase position in a cross functional flowchart

[Oonizuk]

Hello,

I created a cross functional flowchart in Visio. I wanted to link my template to a excel file database to export text and position of the shapes but my flowchart embedded some List/container so I can not do it. (may I miss something to do it??)

To get back text I tried the "report feature" but I noticed that I can not get back the phase/timeline within is the shape (function/swinlane is ok).

Is there a way to have it please?

Thank

I don't know what method you used to generate your report, but mine worked.
- created a cross functional diagram from the assistant
- opened the report tool and created a new one - check it in the attachment - the report definition is in the drawing.
- defined the shapes' filter to need the process ID to be existent.
And it dropped out the excel file as seen in the attachment.

And you see that the phase is included in the report.

I started to create my flowchart without the link to Excel Database (see the left template on the atttachment). In this one there is no information on the "Phase" in the report.
I will use the second one even if the database is not realy usefull in my case because I use a few containers and the database can not reference them..

Thank Yacine

I found a solution to my issue here without the excel database.
