Present complex business intelligence or process management concepts with ease.
Microsoft Visio is a diagramming program that uses vector graphics to create diagrams which can display complex information at a glance. Visio is much more than a drawing package. Instead of static pictures, create data-connected Visio diagrams that display data, are easy to refresh, and dramatically increase your productivity.
This course is designed for people who wish to learn the basic concepts for creating flowcharts, and basic network diagrams. This includes learning the basics for using and creating shapes, printing drawings, creating custom stencils, and many time-saving shortcuts and techniques designed to increase user productivity.
Suitable for Visio 365, Visio 2019, Visio 2016 and Visio 3013. Select your preferred version when making a booking.
