Azure Diagrams with Shape Data

Azure diagrams in SmartDraw are automatically enhanced with shape data. Shape data is just a set of fields and values associated with shapes. These show in the data panel and in a tool tip on the shape itself.

You can click on the blue "information" icon on each shape to get more technical specs about each component.

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.
