Unistep is an add-in for Microsoft Microsoft Visio 2003. It was tested OK with the beta version of Visio 2007. It provides a simple and elegant solution to animate Visio diagrams presenting workflows, processes etc.

How Unistep works

Your process is divided in multiple execution threads and steps. Some of them may be simultaneous with others. With Unistep you can show the dynamics of your process.

The Unistep toolbar transforms Visio in a tool for high quality dynamic presentations!

The left menu points to various use cases of Unistep. Please take a look!

Quick presentation

You have 9 preset buttons that you may assign each to a group of shapes in your diagram. When you click on one preset button, the selection is highlighted. When you click again, the selection is isolated (see below). You can move from one selection to another one by pressing the associated button.

Each assigned button is associated with the name you give to your selection. You can actually see the name if you hover the mouse over the buttons.

With the keyboard arrows keys or with the toolbar buttons you animate the current selection (if you have previously selected one), or all of them.

You select the preferred shapes in your diagram in the preferred order
You press on one of the nine preset buttons. In this way, you associate this part of your diagram with the button. That's all that's needed to define a particular group of shapes! In the same way you define other sub-processes (groups).
With a click on a preset button, you highlight the associated process.
With a second click, you isolate it. You see its position compared  to the whole picture.
You can press another preset button, you see immediately the other sub process.
You can animate it, in normal or in preview mode
