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]

This definition flowchart gives a clear answer for the question "What is a flowchart?". 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. Flowcharts Solution offers you two libraries with large set of already predesigned flowchart symbols and arrows. You need only drag the desired of them from the libraries to document and connect as necessary.

For example, if we talking about programming, you will need an oval symbol to represent beginning and end of a program, a rectangle symbol for representing process, a diamond symbol for decision, a parallelogram for I/O process, and a cloud for Internet.

Example 1. Definition Flowchart. Design Elements. Planning Process Flowchart
for Apple OS X and Windows

The flowchart sample you see on this example was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software using the tools of Flowcharts Solution and shows the planning process. It is included in Flowcharts Solution and available from ConceptDraw STORE.

Use the definition flowchart and predesigned objects from the libraries of Flowcharts Solution for ConceptDraw Solution Park to design professional looking Flowcharts and flowchart definition samples fast, easy, effective.

All source documents are vector graphic documents. They are available for reviewing, modifying, or converting to a variety of formats (PDF file, MS PowerPoint, MS Visio, and many other graphic formats) from the ConceptDraw STORE. The Flowcharts Solution is available for all ConceptDraw DIAGRAM or later users.

This sample shows the Influence Diagram. It was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the Basic Diagramming Solution from the Universal Diagramming area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. Influence diagram represents the directed acyclic graph with three types of nodes and three types of arcs that connect the nodes. Decision node is drawn as a rectangle, Uncertainty node is drawn as an oval, Value node is drawn as an octagon.

Flow Chart Symbols →

If you need to describe some process, diagramming is a perfect tool for almost any imaginable purpose. The set of the most commonly used flow charts symbols is quite wide and includes symbols for operations, processes, data inputs and outputs. You can see the full list of all the symbols used for flowcharting in Flowcharts solution from Diagrams area in ConceptDraw Solution Park. A flow chart is often used for visual representation of a sequential process flow. The flowchart approach to any process is to divide it into some sequential actions. What makes a flow chart so popular and clear to make out is the set of standard flowchart symbols that has the same reading independently from processes described with their applying. The current drawing represents the vector library containing the pack of standard flowchart symbols. This library is supplied with ConceptDraw Flowcharts solution.
