Course Description

In this course on Microsoft 365: Visio Advanced (2023), we will learn the advanced flowchart creation features. We will explore adding themes and stencils, integrating Power Automate and BI, and creating Wireframe websites and apps. By the end of this course, we will be able to seamlessly apply advanced Visio desktop features to our Visio 365 flowcharts. In Visio, we’re able to create and customize stencils and shape panels for later use in other diagrams. Having a set of our own shapes saved in a stencil will be helpful for reducing redundancy in our work routines. Stencils will also help with centralizing the most frequently used shapes in one location. We will dive deep into using Visio inside of the Power BI environment, as well as Power Automate. With the assistance of Visio, we will automate the creation of flows and handling tasks. Visio Advanced will give a solid foundation into working with diagrams and how they can help make the tasks in our professional life easier to manage.
