Export linked diagrams (drill down)

A linked diagram may contain horizontal or vertical links (see here). Because drill-down diagrams have a special role and handling, the linked diagrams will be referred to as "drill down diagrams".

Select the process to export

You need to select the linked stream you want to export. Unistep will export the chosen stream and all its links as an animated HTML file, in a single diagram. Press the button that corresponds to the stream you want to export. It will be highlighted. Then press the export button.

Control the export

Animated HTML export

The parameters available depend on your licence (PRO / STD). Please see the licence comparison page. In the PRO version, these parameters are saved and retrieved in an XML file associated with the diagram.

Press the export button. Unistep will animate the diagrams during export and generate an animated HTML file. When finished, it will display the generated file so you can assess the result.

All HTML resources for this animated output are generated in a folder you specify, per diagram. This means you can export the same animation with different parameters (for example, SVG or PNG image type) into separate folders, by changing the export folder before launching the process.

Export animated process as video

To create an animated video file, press the Video button in the HTML export form (PRO licence only). A video control form will be shown, where you can select the video quality. Options include the native diagram size or other presets, which you can modify and save. Unistep can also generate simultaneous MP4 preview files, which can be embedded in an HTML page for faster loading and linked to the full video.

Since this is a drill down diagram, Unistep will export the complete process down to the maximum depth level defined for the stream. Several exports will be performed at increasing depths. These exports are created in both normal and trail mode, with previews.

At the end, Unistep will generate a catalog HTML file containing previews and links to each generated video file. This file provides immediate access to all the videos so you can quickly select the ones that interest you.

Drill down diagrams as animated HTML

Unistep first exports the main process only, then exports at increasing depths down to the last one. In the generated HTML you can select the depth to view during animation. You can also choose normal or trail mode.

Video export – Drill down diagram

Unistep exports the main process as an MP4 video, then a video for each increasing depth, all in both normal and trail mode. Previews of these exported files are also generated. Finally, Unistep creates a catalog HTML file with links to all videos and previews.
