Create a Swim Lane Flowchart in Visio

[@ernestanderson2342]

Hi Doug, 9 years later and it's still good information you provided. I've been developing network drawings for the past 15 years with Visio and NEVER created a Swim Lane diagram until today. I'm using MS Visio Plan 2 MSO and all the features are still here and I thank you!!

[@DougHExcel]

Fantastic! Glad that it still has relevance and helped you!

Thanks ! I found this handy also when creating Timelines in Visio with Swin-lanes for multiple projects/services schedules. :)

Hi SIGnificant...you're welcome, glad you liked!

[@xuyongsg]

Hi XU YONG, glad you liked it, thanks for commenting!

[@terrencebranscombe3257]

Great video. Concise and informative. Would really like to see one that attempted to explain some of the typical uses for standard shapes, or how one might link to images of, for example, screen shots. Cheers.

[@awjfagan]

Thanks Doug, very useful starter tutorial, moved me up the learning curve.

[@DougHExcel]

Hi Andrew Fagan, thanks for the comment!

Thanks. Very helpful. I needed a reminder how to do this again for a engagement. The page copying was important to mention.

[@DougHExcel]

Awesomely presented...! Very informative and well articulated.

[@roslufjames]

You are welcome! I wish you can teach me Macros right from the basics. That's something fascinates me, or at least let me know the links to refer. Cheers..!

[@jimw.5654]

Great video, illustration and commentary. How do I add processes that start in parallel or at same time instead of sequential? Thx again!

[@DougHExcel]

Hi Jim W., thanks for the comment! You should be able to repeat and add connectors for parallel tasks.

[@ravishanker8527]

Thank you Doug. Brilliant job. This help me master the tool. Cheers!!

Would love for you to talk about phases

[@DougHExcel]

Hi MrsRas, thanks for the comment!

[@ayoung828]

Thanks Doug! Just what I needed. Do you have any examples using a service company who has customers accounts in a financial hold status?

[@logicalplay8616]

Nice video, learned a lot. Visio newbee appreciates the work to make this video.

[@beatricesalazar401]

Thanks for the video.

[@DougHExcel]

You are welcome!

[@n.t.7101]

I got a big process with a lot of swimlanes and I lose my orientation all the time in which lane I am at the moment when I scrolled far to the right. Is there any possibilty to fixture the names of the swimlanes when scrolling from left to right to see in which lane I am all the time? Help would be soo nice

[@Booch236]

Thanks so much!! I learned a lot from this helpful video!

[@DougHExcel]

Thanks for the comment!

[@ahmedbotan8322]

Thank you! Great tutorial.

[@justinrofe5144]

Very helpful post Doug, thanks! I liked the "Shadow" option you used to fill the swimlanes with colour, but unfortunately I can't find it in Visio 2013. Have they hidden it somewhere, or removed it?

[@terrencebranscombe3257]

+Justin Rofe Not sure about 2003, but the 2007 version calls this feature "Fill". Use the Solid pattern if you want to see it :-)

[@cnauert]

This helped a lot, thanks!

[@XDD-kv9ug]

Thanks very much. It's very useful.

[@venkatsworld]

Thanks..it was very useful...

[@murphym1979]

Do you have a tutorial on process mapping?

[@DougHExcel]

sorry, no process mapping vid 🙁. Maybe in the future...

[@akbarbanisukanto4812]

Hi, how do you remove that "title" column?

[@DougHExcel]

should be able to click to select and press delete

[@rogerboissonneau6373]

For some reason, I cannot get an arrow to be on the end of the connector point, and i have yet been able to find how to add one. any thoughts anyone?

[@DougHExcel]

Hi Roger Boissonneau, thanks for the comment
