[Read Only] and/or [Compatibility Mode] message in the Visio banner

Submitted by hr@evsm.com on Sun, 07/18/2021 - 16:06

You would see this if you open a Visio 2010 or earlier file in Visio 2016 or later. The eVSM v11 (and earlier versions) startup template is in Visio 2010 format, so you may see this when starting new maps.

You can ignore this and continue working as normal. To eliminate the message, you can save your map file in the current version of Visio (*.vsdm format) through "File > Save As".

Access Denied Error

Some operations (eg. Restore File, Kaizen Export, Create Template, etc.) require eVSM to automatically create new files in the folder your Visio map file is saved in. If you see errors similar to this:

Access has been denied.

eVSM Digital Signature

Submitted by hr@evsm.com on Thu, 04/08/2021 - 17:12

All eVSM software code is signed with a digital signature issued by DigiCert to confirm our identity and show our users the software is from us. By design the digital signature will get corrupted if the code is tampered with by anyone who does not have access to our signature.

How can I migrate my old eVSM maps to the current version?

Submitted by hr@evsm.com on Fri, 03/26/2021 - 20:30

Shut down any open Visio files. Backup a copy of the old map file. Open the old file and click the "Migrate" button in the eVSM toolbar. When the migration run is complete, your old file as well as the migrated copy will be open. In the old file you will see highlighting on any items skipped by the migration.

Migration is not a 100%, so you will need to do some manual work to finish. See https://evsm.com/evsm-v11-migration for a list of the additional actions to complete.

Creating Paper Templates for Wall Maps

Wall maps can be drawn with any combination paper, pencils, markers, post-it notes, etc. However, such hand-sketches often result in a messy view, causing confusion instead of clarification.
