Definition Flowchart
“A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows. This diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution model to a given problem. Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or program in various fields.” [Wikipedia]

It is convenient to use a powerful ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with Flowcharts Solution from the "Diagrams" Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park to design flowcharts of various types which will additionally illustrate a definition flowchart.
According to the definition flowchart, the flowcharts consist from the simple geometric symbols and arrows which define relationships.
