Flowcharts

Make a procedure easy to follow, with clear actions, decisions and routes to the next step.

Map a completeness check

  1. Create a Basic Flowchart model.
  2. Add Start, Decision, Process and End elements using the type selector.
  3. Name the decision Complete? and add two process steps: Review application and Request information.
  4. Connect the decision to those processes. Label its outgoing arrows Yes and No.
  5. Return Request information to the decision and send Review application to the end. Save the view and model.

Keep branches readable

Put a question on a decision and an action on a process. Name each branch so the reader does not have to infer the condition from its position. Use a return arrow for a repeat cycle and make the exit visible.

Choose the right scope

One flowchart should answer a specific procedural question. Use Group and Parent for visual organisation when needed, and focused views for larger models. Use BPMN Lite when pool/lane responsibility and inter-participant messages are central to the discussion.

Supported formats

The native flowchart set consists of Start, End, Decision, Process and Group, joined by ordinary directed relationships. Mermaid flowcharts are supported through the text import/export route, with conversion warnings for unsupported constructs. Other Mermaid shapes do not automatically become additional native Revelation types.
