What are the types of flowcharts? In daily work, the flow chart is a kind of chart that people often use. With the flow chart, people's work is greatly simplified and information can be better summarized. What are the types of flowcharts? The following is the relevant content I have compiled. Let's have a look.

What are the types of flowcharts 1 1, flowcharts?

Process flow chart is a way to explain the work or plan of the process. Process flow chart is probably the most common of the four commonly used flow charts, because it can be applied to almost anything. The process flow diagram can:

Define the roles and responsibilities within the organization to make it clear. Draft a proposal for a new process or project to understand its scope and steps. The whole execution process from the beginning to the end of the business. Here's how you get up in the morning.

There is no special tool restriction in the process of making the flow chart, and it can be made into files such as Word, Excel and PPT at will, as long as the execution node units and conditions in the process are clearly expressed.

2, the work flow chart

Understand the process of combining data and documents with business rules in your organization.

Workflow diagram shows the operation mode of business or process. Now OA process and nailing approval process, which everyone contacts more, belong to workflow category. The following example illustrates the steps required for potential customers to renew their policies through the company website. This type of workflow diagram can be used to:

Train new employees to find potential problem areas or new business expansion, and clarify business operations by presenting a high-level overview.

The work flow chart is more complicated than the process flow chart, and many conditions and rules need to be defined. In this case, you can use the flowchart to draw the foundation, and use the template in the tool to quickly apply the matching. Personally, Visio and process on are commonly used to draw online flow charts.

3. Swim lane flow chart

Used to describe how independent departments, processes or employees interact and collaborate.

When you need to display the information flow of multiple organizational units side by side, the lane flow chart comes in handy. The swimlane diagram may indeed sound like a workflow diagram, but the key here is that it allows you to create different categories of activities. Swim flow chart or chart is very suitable for recording the whole process of interaction with different departments of the organization or collaboration between different teams. The following examples illustrate how internal departments collaborate and when they interact in the process.

Swim flow chart is often used in BPM business process management, and its standard BPMN2 and 0 carding specifications define the meaning expressed in the process of business process carding definition in detail, and effectively express the cooperation and correlation between corresponding processing units through different swimming lanes. Swim lanes are drawn with professional tools to assist in making flow charts, and individuals are often called "BPMN process designers in Yao Qiang".

4, data flow chart

See where data flows into and out of the information system.

The data flow chart shows the data processing mode. It will come in handy when you want to design or analyze a system. Although it is most commonly used in software development and design, it can be used to analyze any type of information data flow, such as the way information data moves in enterprises. The following example shows a typical commodity distribution and storage process. In this case, "data" is the main body of the whole process, affecting the operation of every link. If this flow chart is only a relational expression at the business level, then it is feasible to choose the above drawing work. If you need to show its data trend and relational logic in detail, you need to use professional data flow production tools.

Introduce the above four commonly used flow charts and drawing tools respectively. According to different business types and scenarios, the corresponding flow chart drawing method is selected, and the flow chart symbols in different scenarios are different.

What are the types of flowcharts? 2 how to do the flow chart?

Before drawing, first set it up, open the drawing grid (Drawing Toolbar-Drawing-Drawing Grid), select Align Objects with Grid, select Display Grid Lines on Screen, and select Vertical Spacing to display vertical grid lines. Personally, I suggest that 0.5CM horizontal spacing and 0.5CM vertical spacing are more suitable for A4 paper.

The first step is to draw a graphic box, and at the same time, add the required text. Using the grid, it is much easier to draw boxes of the same size (of course, you can also copy boxes of the same size directly). As long as you master the distance, length and width of each square box, you can draw the graphics more beautifully and generously.

When you want to select multiple drawings, it is convenient to use the Select Object tool on the drawing toolbar. Note: If you do not use grids, you must also use the Alignment and Distribution tools. Paying attention to details will enable you to draw professional and beautiful graphics. If you find something wrong with a graphic after drawing, you need to change it to another graphic. Select the graphic, click the graphic you want to change in the AutoShape pane, and then click the Change AutoShape button below to quickly change it to another graphic.

Right-click the box, select Add text, and press CTRL+E or click the center alignment button in the toolbar to center the text. There are three boxes in the picture above, the first box has two lines, but the bottom border of the text box covers some text. At this point, right-click the text in the text box, select paragraph to open the paragraph dialog box, and adjust the internal margin value in the text box tab. The second text box in the above figure is the result of the former when the top, bottom, left and right margins are all set to 0.
