Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Actions

Mind Maps are an advanced technique used to solve a wide range of professional tasks, personal growth tasks, business tasks, household tasks that occur in everyday life. When you need to make a difficult decision in terms of lack of information, to prepare a report, design a presentation in original way, to organize a brainstorming session, to develop plan for the next week / month / year, to make notes during the lecture, in all these cases the mind mapping technique will be effective. The essence of the method consists in structuring the information, in visualization of objects and concepts, and also in setting the associative relationships. This method is popular in teaching and when explaining new information, and lets represent it in a concise and easily perceived form. Mind Maps can be also effectively used to represent different computer knowledge and helpful information about the use of different applications. ConceptDraw MINDMAP is powerful software for designing different Mind Maps, including the Mind Map demonstrating the keyboard shortcuts and mouse actions that are utilized in ConceptDraw MINDMAP.

Flowchart Design

Flowchart Symbols, Shapes, Stencils and Icons

A flowchart is a type of diagram which represents an algorithm, process or workflow, displays the steps as boxes of various kinds and depicts their order by connecting them with arrows. Any business graphic document will be more colorful and understandable if will use professional-looking and visual diagrams and flowcharts. Flowchart design gives versatile presenting and explaining of the process. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM flowchart software enhanced with Flowcharts solution helps effectively make Flowchart Design. Use of predesigned flowchart symbols and bright color palette offers a fresh view and favorably distinguishes the flowcharts designed in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM from the black and white flowcharts on a paper. Preferably to use no more than three or four colors and apply identical for the same shape types. The best flowchart design can be achieved by starting with Flowchart template, or any of suitable ready examples or samples offered in ConceptDraw STORE, open one of them and enter the proper text into each Flowchart shape. Each symbol of the flowchart has a definition that can't be changed. This means that all flowcharts shapes can be grouped in according to their meaning. Users with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM flowchart software can style groups of symbols with close definitions by color sets chosen from complementary palette. Almost all workflows can be depicted as a flowchart. Colored diagrams are more light for perception of the certain information, this is part of flowchart design. Bright colors need to be used in the key points of Decision symbols, to focus attention on their importance for whole process flow.
