VISIO
Microsoft Visio
Trainer recommendation
Szentirmai Róbert trainer
With Microsoft Visio, you can easily and effectively create flowcharts, network diagrams, organizational charts, floor plans, engineering visuals, and more, using modern shapes and templates. In our intensive one-day course, participants will learn the basics of the software, visualize processes, and create diagrams. The most valuable part of the course will introduce you to creating data-linked diagrams and controlling shape behaviors. This training is recommended for employees who need to visually represent complex systems, processes, and relationships in an easily interpretable way, with automated updates.
Description
During the course, students will learn how to use Microsoft Visio software and its various applications. The course will focus on the graphical and technical aspects, but not on the more complex database design and software development solutions.
