Entity Relationship Software
Entity Relationship Diagram
ERD is a major data modelling tool which can help to organize your project's data into the entities and to define the relashionships between these entities.
It is convenient to design ER Diagrams using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution from the Software Development Area for ConceptDraw Solution Park. This solution supports Chen's and Crow’s Foot notations that are often used to describe database structure.
In a Chen's notation, entities are represented by rectangles with the entities names inside and relationships are represented by diamonds. The attributes are drawn as ovals and are connected with a line to exactly one entity or relationship set.
Example 1. Entity Relationship Software. Chen's notation
Another type of notation is known as Crow's Foot notation. Fundamentally it is very similar to Chen's notation and differs by designations, are used the boxes to represent entities and the lines between them to represent relationships. The attributes of entity are drawn in the box that represents this entity.
Example 2. Entity Relationship Software. Crow's Foot notation
The Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution provides templates and samples that allow you get closer with ER diagrams. All they are available for viewing and editing from ConceptDraw STORE.

Working with personnel might be difficult if you are not prepared enough. To explain your workers all the details of communication with customers, you can draw an order process flowchart which will describe every step of the process and answer all the questions that might appear. You can view a lot of business process mapping diagram examples here, in ConceptDraw Solution Park.
This business process flow chart is created to illustrate the sample work order process. Before an organization can make some work for a person, the customer work order request must be completed. It is needed for tracking and accountability objectives. We used this business process flowchart to show a certain tasks and actions assumed by an organization. This flowchart depicts the outside inputs that are needed to launch a process, and ways the organization delivers its outputs. This business process flowchart was created with a help of ConceptDraw Business Process Mapping solution.

IT world is extremely rational and logical. So what can be more precise than Software Diagrams to rate the results of work? Visual statistics is the best way to understand the data.
This figure demonstrates the data flow diagram (DFD), which was created to describe the electronic system of custom purchase. This is the process of buying using electronic bar code scanning system. Such systems are used in large stores. The cashier scans the bar code, the system outputs the data on the price of the goods and carries out a purchase process. This DFD utilizes the Gane/Sarson notation. To create it The ConceptDraw DFD solution has been applied.
