Microsoft Visio 2010 Business Process Diagramming and Validation

Summary

In this chapter, we have learned how to use the Target Type to set the context for a rule. We then learned how to write a few Filter Expressions to reduce the shapes that need to be processed, and finally how to write Test Expressions that can raise issues. There are probably more expressions that could be written, but we can work those out when we have specific requirements.

In the next chapter, we are going to learn how to publish our rules for others to use by providing them in Visio templates or documents. We will learn how to make these templates available to the normal user in the Visio user interface.
