Google form to sheet to lucid chart diagram ability to add new data to diagram on entry

I have a google form that feeds a google sheet. I have integrated the google sheet into a lucid chart flow diagram. What I am dreaming of is for the lucid chart diagram to be built with the data filled in for the new row/entry. Or take a template diagram and build a copy with the new data.. is this possible?

What does "fully locked" template mean?

What does "fully locked" mean? I know how to lock shapes and layers. I'm using a template that someone made but I need to unlock to add titles to my swim lanes ... I see a red padlock with the annotation "fully locked" and I don't see how to temporarily unlock.

Continuing flow diagram on new pages and applying master

Hi there I'm trying to describe quite a long process in BPMN with 6 vertical swim lanes moving down through landscape A4 pages.  I've put my swim lanes on a master page and can use that method to see them on all pages I make.  However if I create the new pages and apply the master I can't drag a connector between pages.  If I use the suggested method of carrying on a flow between pages which is to use auto-tiling I can connect my flow but not apply the master page on to the automatically created pages.   Is there a way to do both?  Thanks Maya

SharePoint as a source for data

Hi I previously asked if a SharePoint List can be used as a source for data like an Excel spreadsheet can. The answer received from Abby S (https://lucidchart.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360070360351/comments/360011171511) referred to a product called Smartsheet which was not what I was asking about. Can you please tell me if there is an integration with SharePoint and in particular with SharePoint Lists. Regards Maurice

Copy of Document Shows Keeps old stuff underneath the new

I want to make changes to a document without affecting the original. But when I make a copy and begin changing things the old original document still shows up underneath the changed portion (but slightly grayed out). The problem is that this even shows in presentation mode and makes my new work unreadable. I appreciate any help. Thanks!

Improving Image Quality in Lucidchart Charts for PowerPoint Slides

I'm a new Lucidchart user. I've created some terrific charts and now want to include them in a PowerPoint slide deck. For my situation I find it best to include the charts as saved images by selecting the "Show as Saved Image" option on a PP slide thru the PP addin. HOWEVER the images are a bit blurry especially the text. Is there a way to indicate the image quality when selecting the "Show as Saved Image" option?  I notice that I can export or download a chart directly from Lucidchart (via the browser) and select the image type (jpeg png etc.) AS WELL AS the print quality (300 dpi) etc. I want to associate the same quality when selecting the "Show as Saved Image" option from a PP slide!

Dismiss a joined team

Hi recently I subscribed and joined a Team. Now i need to left the team and I asked to the Admin to remove me. He performed the change following the guide: https://lucidchart.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028596311-The-Admin-Panel-User-Management#collapseSix But from my configuration I can see under "Your Team" that I'm still into the Team and i can't do any change. moreover seems I lost the option to control my subscription for example the unsubscribe option is missing (I was thinking to perform a unsubscribe/subscribe actions to solve the issue...) How I can solve this problem? Thanks

Layers and Equations

Hello I am currently trying to run a calculation in a chart that is on a single page but using many layers. Basically what I want to do is sum the value of all the shapes on the visible layers. What I have done at this point is assign values to all of the shapes in each layer (not all but all the relevant ones) then at the page level I retrieve all of the values using =CHILDREN."Value" and getting an array.  The array looks correct however it is returning the values of the shapes that are currently in layers that are hidden. Is there a way to return only the visible shape values?? Perhaps with conditional formatting or using certain IF statements with an identifier?  Please help!! Thanks :) Michael
