Enrich AWS Diagrams with Shape Data

AWS diagrams in SmartDraw are automatically enhanced with a set of fields and values known as shape data. These show in the data panel and in a tool tip on the shape itself.

You can click on the blue "i" icon on each shape to view its metadata. This will contain information about each resource, like instance type, operation status, stack name and a whole lot more.

This lets you or anyone you share your document with drill down into details about the information the shape represents without having to clutter the shape itself with the same information.

You can also make the colors and other attributes of a shape depend on the values of its data using Data Rules. For example, you can use data rules to change a shape to show high utilization of a component in your AWS set up.

Shape data lets you to use a network diagram as a dashboard or a single source of truth for troubleshooting with your IT team.
