Microsoft Visio 2013 Business Process Diagramming and Validation

Creating a custom template

We will create a new template, and then go through several ways that we can make it available to others for use as a template. Firstly, create a new drawing from the Audit Diagram template, then go to Process | Check Diagram | Import Rules From | Flowchart Rule Set.

There are only two built-in ruleset in Visio, so we will use an import of the Flowchart Rule Set for this example. In fact, the procedure shown in this chapter is exactly the process that can be gone through in order to create Visio templates for companies who want customized versions of the ones supplied in Visio.
