Summary

In this chapter, we have examined an existing template in order to make any changes that we need to make to the shape and page for our rules to work. We have enhanced the graphics and shape data to suit our requirements, and to improve the user experience. This involved adding Shape Data and user-defined cells to the page and masters; it also involved enabling some behaviors that were introduced to Visio after the original masters were developed.

We now have customized shapes that are ready to have rules applied to them. Thus, in the next chapter, we will analyze and write the ruleset that will satisfy all of the rules that we identified for Data Flow Diagrams at the start of this chapter.
