Chapter 6. Reviewing Validation Rules and Issues
In the previous chapter, we created a tool to allow us to review and edit rules in Microsoft Visio 2013 Professional. In this chapter, we will extend this tool to provide an import/export routine of rules to an XML file, or to an HTML report, and enable you to add issues as annotations in Visio diagrams. These features will allow rules to be stored, restored, printed out, and pondered over, along with the issues that they may create in a diagram. This should provide confidence in their fitness for purpose.
As before, I will not be offended if you do not follow all of the coding, but please read the bits about using the extra features.
