How to Make a Workflow Diagram Using ConceptDraw PRO

With the help of a workflow diagram you can visually describe the tasks, documents, people responsible for execution at each stage of workflow. Modern workflow diagrams have a specific focus on quality control. This can apply to the quality of inputs and outputs related to a process, or to the actual efficiency of the workflow itself. Different sectors of business use different diagramming techniques, and this has given rise to a number of methods that have become recognized in their own right as industry standards. ConceptDraw PRO, with the Workflow Diagrams solution, is ideal for creating diagrams of this type. Its RapidDraw technology takes the strain from diagram arrangement, allowing users to create their process steps with a single click, ideal for generating the many repeatable tasks that can make up a workflow. The Workflow Diagrams solution complements this feature with a library of selected icons to represent various steps.

This interactive voice response (IVR) diagram sample illustrates how ENUM call forwarding can be achieved. It was designed on the base of the Wikimedia Commons file: Call Forwarding with ENUM.jpg. [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ File:Call_ Forwarding_ with_ ENUM.jpg]
"Telephone number mapping is a system of unifying the international telephone number system of the public switched telephone network with the Internet addressing and identification name spaces. Internationally, telephone numbers are systematically organized by the E.164 standard, while the Internet uses the Domain Name System (DNS) for linking domain names to IP addresses and other resource information. Telephone number mapping systems provide facilities to determine applicable Internet communications servers responsible for servicing a given telephone number using DNS queries.
The most prominent facility for telephone number mapping is the E.164 Number Mapping (ENUM) standard. It uses special DNS record types to translate a telephone number into a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) or IP address that can be used in Internet communications." [Telephone number mapping. Wikipedia]
The IVR diagram example "Call Forwarding with ENUM" was designed using ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Interactive Voice Response Diagrams solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Bubble diagrams with ConceptDraw PRO

Using ConceptDraw you will be able to create bubble diagrams from the ready ConceptDraw library objects or make your own objects. The created diagram can be saved and edited, objects can be moved and links between them will be automatically repainted after object moving because of using the ConceptDraw connectors.
This vector stencils library contains 47 SysML activity diagram symbols.
Use it to design your SysML activity diagrams using ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Activity diagrams are constructed from a limited number of shapes, connected with arrows. The most important shape types:
- rounded rectangles represent actions;
- diamonds represent decisions;
- bars represent the start (split) or end (join) of concurrent activities;
- a black circle represents the start (initial state) of the workflow;
- an encircled black circle represents the end (final state).
Arrows run from the start towards the end and represent the order in which activities happen." [Activity diagram. Wikipedia]
The vector stencils library "Activity diagram" is included in the SysML solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

How to Draw a Process Flow Diagram in ConceptDraw PRO

Process Flow diagrams are used in chemical and process engineering to show the flow of chemicals and the equipment involved in the process. When it comes to creating a process flow diagram, it's important to use software that is capable of describing a wide range of processes, using techniques and graphical notation that are easily recognized by engineering workers. An ideal drawing platform will utilize functions that can cope with the output of a high volume of engineering processes, that may change rapidly from development to implementation stages. ConceptDraw PRO, with the extended functionality of the Chemical and Process Engineering Diagrams solution, is the ideal medium for creating designs of this type. The Chemical and Process Engineering Diagrams solution complements this feature with a library of selected icons to represent various steps — all instantly recognizable and applicable to a wide user base. ConceptDraw PRO allows you to draw the Process Flow diagram easily using the set of special libraries.
This interactive voice response (IVR) flowchart sample shows the store reporting process flow.
"Call centers use IVR systems to identify and segment callers. The ability to identify customers allows services to be tailored according to the customer profile. The caller can be given the option to wait in the queue, choose an automated service, or request a callback. The system may obtain caller line identification (CLI) data from the network to help identify or authenticate the caller. Additional caller authentication data could include account number, personal information, password and biometrics (such as voice print).
When an IVR system answers multiple phone numbers the use of DNIS ensures that the correct application and language is executed. A single large IVR system can handle calls for thousands of applications, each with its own phone numbers and script.
IVR also enables customer prioritization. In a system wherein individual customers may have a different status the service will automatically prioritize the individual's call and move customers to the front of a specific queue. Prioritization could also be based on the DNIS and call reason." [Interactive voice response. Wikipedia]
