Hello,

As Stephen suggested me to post this:
How to do the site map for levels more than 2. Basically I did this for the MS Visio 2003.

- When you open the excel sheet template provided with this article.- “template_for_visio_2000_and_2003.xls.”

Go to the Sheet tab “Output Visio 2003”.

Notice how the levels are linked.
e.g
Level 2 link—> “Report to” Home (Level 1)
Level 3 link—> Level 2 link.

Simply create your own output sheet..in here and follow the rest of the steps.

e.g

Name Reports to
A Home
B Home
C Home
AB A
AA A
ABC AB
BA B
BB B
BAC BA
CA C
CB C
CAB CA
.....
.....
......

To give an example of my comment above..

Hi,
Typically or mostly a Business Analyst or a Functional analystalso annotates the wireframes (; especially for big projects) since they can better explain the ‘why’ by tying it to the requirements.
We used InDesign in the last project for annotations and it works great too…

##DAN: Can you share the wireframe template you have mentioned in the article?
