• Add Box Impact Layer adds a color-coded border to a shape using a data attribute value to determine the color.
• Convert to Horizon converts a normal diagram into a horizon diagram that allows the user to select the metadata that control is a shape is visible or the color-code of the shape border.
• Convert to Container converts master shapes in a stencil to container shapes and saves as a new stencil. Container shapes are need for the Box Diagram.
• Create Custom Text Callout create a text callout that combines basic shapes, colors and value as a data graphic. Standard Visio data graphics do not support this.
