We are pleased to announce an **early preview** of data-driven smart diagrams for the first time in Visio, brought to you exclusively by the Office Insider Program.

Do you currently spend hours connecting shapes, placing the shapes into the right Swim lanes  to create the perfect layout? Looking to save time while creating your process diagrams from data every day?

With Visio’s data-driven smart diagrams feature, now you can automatically create a Basic Flowchart or Cross-Functional Flowchart from your process map in Excel, in no time.

The process meta data or metric data that you capture in Excel columns gets stored in Visio shapes as shape data.

 

Microsoft MyAnalytics Outlook add-in

Marcel
The MyAnalytics Outlook add-in helps you understand the reach of your emails and your relationships with colleagues.

For emails you send, the add-in shows the number of people who have read, forwarded, and replied, as well as a lifespan chart showing the email’s read activity. You’ll only see these statistics for emails you’ve sent to at least five people, and you can’t identify who read or forwarded the email.

For emails you receive, the add-in gives you information about your relationships with colleagues, including the number of emails you’ve exchanged, your average response times, and the percentage of their email you read. Only you have access to your personal relationship statistics.

Overview: best practices for managing how people use your team site

Marcel

If you’re a team site owner, it’s a good idea to create a governance model – that is, a model to address your site’s policies, processes, roles, and responsibilities. A model like this will help you control how people use your site. For example, you might want to require check-out of files so that multiple people don’t try to edit a file at the same time. Or, you may want to allow only certain people to create subsites. This article gives an overview of ideas and best practices to think about when creating such a model.
