How do I create a "Network Diagram"

Marc Shecter

Hi -

Can anyone explain how they have created a "Network Diagram" (example) from a Smartsheet project plan data? I realize that it is not possible to automatically create these within Smartsheet, but I was wondering if anyone has done this by exporting their project data to a tool like Lucid or other software.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi @Marc Shecter - I have not tried this in Lucid, but I have done this in a past life with Visio. Here's a link to a video showcasing the modern version of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6_vop2kHCg. Hope that's useful

Thanks for the insight @Scott Peters. Your video triggered me to learn about Data import into Lucid. It's possible to import the data, but unlike Visio, Lucid doesn't have the ability to automatically link work items together based on predecessors and successors.

Since I don't have access to Visio at my company, I'll need to give up on the Network Diagram visualization for now.

Does anyone know if this can be done from Visio into Smartsheet?
