Working in Visio

Process Navigator is installed as a seamless Visio Solution. If you are already a Visio user and can work with standard interface elements such as toolbars, drop-down menus and right-click actions, the Triaster software will be instantly familiar.

During the installation process, Visio is customised with Triaster’s default Triaster stencil, a process map template incorporating a Node shape, the Progress and User Actions Required windows and two additional tabs (Triaster, Process Navigator Tools) on the Visio Ribbon.

To start a new map from the Map Control Console, choose File > New Visio Process Map or click on the New Visio Process icon on the toolbar.

NOTE: You can also start a map directly in Visio. Choose File > New and then select the Triaster Process Map template. Click on the Create button.

The following sections describe each of these features in detail. For a beginner’s guide to creating process maps, please refer to the Tutorial for Mappers.
