Navigation from OnePage to Another Page in MS Visio chart added in SharePoint 2013 Site

Dear All,

I have made Org Chart in MS Visio 2013 including multiple pages (sheets) & hyperlink provided to navigate from one page to another after clicking on particular box/Icon.

In Ms Visio, its working properly but when i have added this in SharePoint site then when clicking on hyper linked Box then instead of navigating to another page , it is downloading files.

Kindly let me know what should be done.

Hi,

In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.

  • How do you upload the Visio file to SharePoint 2013? Upload the whole file directly or use the Visio 2013 build-in feature to save as to SharePoint site.
  • Which file format do you use? VSDX or VWD format (Visio Web Drawing)
  • Which browsers do you use?

If you did not use VWD format, I recommend you try to save diagrams to SharePoint as Web drawings, we are using Visio Services to make the diagram available for people to view in a browser. Web drawings can have hyperlinks, multiple pages, and other features like a standard Visio drawing, including the ability to connect to external data sources. (Based on my test, the method worked well for me, it would navigate hyperlink correctly among different pages)

Then, if we can navigate hyperlink correctly, and it becomes downloading mode. This issue may be caused by the browsers add-ins. Please try to disable all the add-ins to test.

Hope it's helpful.

 George,

  • How do you upload the Visio file to SharePoint 2013? Upload the whole file directly or use the Visio 2013 build-in feature to save as to SharePoint site. > Uploaded through by adding Visio web parts & then visio file
  • Which file format do you use? VSDX or VWD format (Visio Web Drawing) > VWD format
  • Which browsers do you use? : Internet Explorer (IE)11

My only problem is that i cant navigate to another page in web browser after clicking hyperlink diagram or page.

I dont know which add in to be deactivated from SharePoint site to stop downloading visio files.

Kindly suggest

Hi,

According to your reply now, I recommend we create a new Visio file to test, if the issue still occur, it may be caused by the browsers, please try to reset IE11 settings or change one to test.

If the issue disappear, I recommend you check the hyperlink format. Based on my test, my steps: Click shape>Insert hyperlink>Choose the sub-address.

We can see the hyperlink format with these steps: Select a shape and run Developer Tab > show shapesheet in Visio menu>Hyperlinks>Address/sub address

Sample: =Pages[Page-2]!ThePage!PAGENAME()

Then you also can send us a sample file via Email (ibsofc@microsoft.com), I'd like to test it.

George,

I have followed your steps & its working fine. :)

Now, is it possible to provide hyperlink to one box (In Page 1) to another box (Page 2)?

I usually disable the hyperlinks in the Visio Web Access control, and include some html/JavaScript in an adjacent Content Editor web part to display the hyperlinks. This means that you can control the actions more easily, including ensuring that the hyperlinks actually do go to a different page in the Visio file, or even to open a targeted Visio file in the same Visio Web Access control.
