Mobile devices

I have my diagram uploaded on our website.  When looking at the mobile version the diagram is not interactive and it says you have to download the lucidchart app.  Is this correct?  I do not want my customers to have to download the app to look at the diagram.  Why is this only on mobile devises and not desktop

Workflow Best Practices

Hello  I'm a new user of LucidChart. I'm building a horizontal workflow diagram and I wanted to know if people extend the page to accommodate or end the diagram on one page and start the remainder of the flow on another page. So a single page wide diagram or multiple page diagram for a single work stream?

Display result of COUNTIF formula on shape in Lucidchart

Previously posted - still cannot get a very VERY simple formula to add a result into a shape in a diagram.    As you can see my data table is SIMPLE. My formula is SIMPLE. Clearly there are a number of rows that displays text in the Progress Indicator column that match my formula (i.e. how many rows have the phrase 'ON TRACK' as the Progress Indicator). The answer by the way is 19 rows out of a total of 38 rows in the table. Lucid Chart gets the answer as '0'.     Posted previously - followed advice and got nowhere. Weeks on and still stuck on trying to do a very very simple thing that should take less than a minute. I mean come on guys seriously my job is at stake here

Is it free to view and comment?

I have a paid plan and have created some diagrams for my client and have sent them a link.  They do not have a plan with Lucidchart.  I know they will need to create a login to view the diagrams I've created however can they view and comment on the Free plan or do they have to have a Paid plan?

ERD Support for SQL Server Extended Properties?

We store a good bit of meta-data about tables and fields in extended properties in SQL Server. For example a field or table might include guidance for analysts on how it should be used in reporting or what other tables/databases is relates to or is sourced from.  How can I include these extended properties in an ERD diagram so that it will be exported properly with the create statements?

Rescaling in Spark?

I've accidentally created a large board in lucidspark but the zoom is at 100. Is there a way to scale everything out as one? My team and I can't really share the doc because it's zoomed in too far and the lines disappear.

Presentation Builder - does not display in presentation mode

We are fairly new users but have mastered most of the capabilities of Lucid Chart.   We have used presentation builder on top of existing workflow process charts. Then used an embedded link in our intranet to enable non-Lucid users to view those charts as presentations.  However the charts do not appear in presentation mode until a user clicks the presentation icon. How can a presentation automatically appear in presentation mode?

Org Chart Tab Format

I saw this question posted from several years ago and am asking whether this functionality has been added. I have created a company org chart from the blank org chart template split by service area across 15 or so tabs. I want to be able to edit the org structure and cards across all tabs at once (i.e. change the layout remove the picture add fields) rather than applying it tab by tab.  Can I create a default card structure and apply it across the whole document at once? Or live-edit the entire document? Is this currently an option? Thank you!

Data link for org chart

Hello I created a Google Sheet to populate my data for our department org charts.  That sheet was created under a previous account that I owned.  Since then I have a new account (because of my new position) and I've lost the ability to transfer ownership of that Sheet.  I was able to share to my personal email and then share it with my new account but I cannot figure out how to update my data link to use the new sheet to import into my org chart.  Is it possible to switch the data link import for my org chart?

Linking two shapes - Highlighting

Hi there Thankyou in advance. Is it possible to link two or more shapes so when one is interacted with (whether it's by clicking or hovering the mouse over it) the others will be highlighted. Just to clarify I don't mean grouping shapes. In the example picture attached if I click or hover over the text I'd like the two Process squares to highlight.

Lucidspark - No Board Import Option

I'm attempting to import a board from Miro.  Following the instructions in article https://lucidspark.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4414137015828 I'm stuck at step 7.  There is no 'Board Import' option when I hover over Lucidspark.  I only see 'Blank Board' and 'Create from Template'.
