Adding Custom Properties to Shapes
LeanView and Custom Properties
In addition to the standardized lean metrics that are available in LeanView shapes, custom properties may also be incorporated using the Microsoft Visio shape data.
Microsoft Visio provides the ability to associate data input with shapes in a diagram; these inputs or shape attributes are called shape data.
In Visio 2003, these inputs are known as custom properties.
To review the shape data or custom properties associated with a drawing shape, the shape data (or custom properties) window must be active.
Most Visio shapes are preconfigured with shape data; the data fields will vary based on the stencil from which a shape is pulled and the type of shape being used.
If you have converted Visio shapes to LeanView shapes, the shapes in your value stream map may already have shape data.
To review the shape data in a shape, right-click in the Shape Data Window (or Custom Properties Window) and select ‘Define Shape Data’ (or Define Custom Properties).
New attributes/data fields of various types can be added using the Visio Define Shape Data dialog.
In the dialog, there are several fields that are used to create a new data attribute.
Once Visio shape data has been added to a LeanView shape in a recorded value path, this data will be incorporated in the User Data worksheet of the Map Analysis Report (MAR).
