Making a shape display the number of highlighted shapes on a page

In a Visio drawing, you can have a shape display the number of shapes on the page that are either highlighted or not.

  1. Add a shape data field of type Highlight to the shape, and set its value to “Count”.

  2. In the shape text, enter at least one of the following placeholders:

    • [Highlighted]: The number of highlighted shapes on the current page of the Visio drawing.

    • [NonHighlighted]: The number of non-highlighted shapes on the current page of the Visio drawing.

    • [Total]: The number of element or service shapes on the current page of the Visio drawing that have a shape data field of type Highlight.
