Sharyn_Mayne Microsoft Visio is another product that could help if you’re looking at something similar to process mapping with links that snap to objects.

Hi Ben! Long time no see - hope you are well 🙂

Microsoft Visio - We need something for the whole org to use that is intuitive to use without having to learn a whole program so I am afraid that cuts out Visio.

Whiteboard also has support for custom templates now. - I did not know this and I will go investigate right now.

Cheers 🙂
