[Draw.IO] is an open-source (free) web tool for creating diagrams, similar to Microsoft Visio. Currently it is used by the IT department to embed diagrams in the wiki.

How-to

  • Create a diagram on draw.io.
  • Save to a cloud account. Several options are available, but it is recommended to use either the Google Drive for the uniPHARM Media user, or OneDrive if you have a Microsoft 365 Business Basic sub. It is advisable to ave a copy locally as well, as the use of cloud storage has not been officially adopted by the company.
  • When ready to publish, use the Embed function to generate HTML code. The HTML option (which is actually javascript) has been verified to work in the wiki. IFrame has not been tested, but should be equally viable if it works.
  • So far, it appears that new embed code must be generated following any changes to the diagram. It is possible that another method (perhaps the iframe) does not have such a limitation.
  • In the wiki editor, paste the code, and wrap it with to render this block as HTML.
