As an example of what can be created with help of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM application, we want to mention the ER- diagram, which is well known and commonly used Entity-Relationship Diagram. The components for drawing such ER diagram are all there in our stencil libraries of the “Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution”, and being an experienced user of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM will take you only about 10 or 15 minutes to create any ERD using the provided samples. Once you are not as experienced with the mentioned software, then it may take a little bit longer for the first time, but still our pre-made samples and templates will be very useful for you, simplifying your work of creating the needed diagrams. Thus, the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to create your own Entity-Relationship Diagrams of any complexity quickly, simply and effectively.

The mentioned Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution can be found and downloaded from ConceptDraw STORE application, extending the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM ector graphics and diagramming software with the ability of drawing your own entity-relationship diagrams using both Chen's or/and Crow's Foot notations, offering two stencil libraries with numerous pre-designed ER-icons, which are “ERD, Chen's Notation” and “ERD, Crow's Foot Notation” libraries.

Data flow diagram is also a very well-known as well as commonly used representation of data, with help of which you can represent any data flow in a system. Data Flow Diagrams (DFD) are a great part of the Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology, being consisted of so many different components, such as processes and functions, representing the actions happened in information system. There are the external entities mentioned within this drawing, which represent the data ingoing to and outgoing from in the system. The illustrated data depositories on the mentioned diagram represent places in the system, where data can be saved for a definite period of time and the represented data flows indicate the directions as well as a character of data, flowing within the considered information system.

The main data flow diagram elements are: processes, data flow, external entities and data store. So called “Yourdon — de Marco notation” is the one, being widely used for representation of the Data Flow Diagram objects. The design objects, which can be used for creating the Data Flow Diagrams, can be interpreted in a way of processes transforming the input data flows into the output data flows. Such design objects all can be found in the Data Flow Diagrams Solution to be very useful for those who intend to make great looking, professionally as well as smart looking data flow diagrams while working in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM data flow diagramming software.

Apart from the diagrams, there are also very many different types of flowcharts which also can be created within the best flowcharts and diagrams drawing software — ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Thus, the Basic Flowchart, which is often being used for defining as well as documenting the basic work and data flows in production, quality and financial management processes in order to increase the efficiency of so many different spheres of business activity, can be simply created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM basic flowchart software suing the Flowchart solution.

The Business Process Modelling Diagram is a simple graphical representation, used for specifying the numerous business processes in a workflow as well as the Process Flowchart (also known as the “system flow diagram” or “SFD”), used to show the relationships between the major parts of the system, can be made with the existing tools, which ConceptDraw STORE, as another CS Odessa product, provides in its Solutions.

Another type of diagrams that can be made in the best flowchart maker — ConceptDraw DIAGRAM — is a Process Flow one, which presents a range of symbols representing different appliances. It can be created with all provided necessary design symbols as well as design elements from the stencil libraries from Solutions, depending on what exactly you need to create and in what way it should look like. The mentioned design elements are meant to be used for making many different flowcharts and diagrams, including the “Cross Functional Flowchart”, which is often used to show the relationship between some business processes as well as the functional units (such as units or departments responsible for such business processes to be managed in an appropriate way).






TEN RELATED HOW TO's:
While designing a conceptual data model, you should use appropriate software. For instance, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a user-friendly ER diagram tool that has a lot of samples and templates to facilitate your work. A clear entity-relationship diagram helps to define the relations between system’s components. Software engineering is the section of a computer science engaged to design, realization, and support of complex software products. An ERD is a data modeling method that is widely applied in the software engineering practice. Commonly it is used for developing a structure of a a relational database. An entity relationship diagram is helpful for structuring and organizing databases that can be modeled using a relational structure. An entity relationship diagram is designed to depicts the interrelationships within the sets of entities which are accumulated in the database. Each entity represents a particular component of a data. Thus, ER diagrams depicts the logical structure of databases. ConceptDraw ER Diagrams solution provides software engineers with the professional tool for making entity-relationship diagrams.Entity Relationship Diagram Software Engineering *

Starting producing workflow diagram from template you save time and avoid the blank page syndrome. At first, the workflow template is set of rules for a workflow. The workflow symbols used in the specific case are part of workflow template. This is the subset of large standard collections of workflow symbols. The first part of workflow template is identification of symbols allowed in use in your specific case. The best way would be to collect them in your customized drawing collection of workflow symbols which used in your specific cases of workflow diagrams. Another way to create business process documents is using business process flow diagram which have similar purposes and have different visual notation. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is professional workflow diagram software with the rich extentions from ConceptDraw Solution Park. The basic solution for workflow diagramming is Workflow Diagrams Solution. It delivers a rich set of workflow diagram templates and samples help you draw diagrams eWorkflow Diagram Template *

Data flow diagrams are the graphical tool, used in the visualization of data flow of some data processing systems. It is the valuable process modeling tool. Also designing DFD is the important component of the initial part of any information system development project. The standard symbols are used to represent the interaction of a system components and how various kinds of components influence on data flow. The ConceptDraw Data Flow Diagrams solution is design to assist professional software engineers in making DFDs according to Gane and Sarson, and Yourdon and Coad notations. Do you imagine yourself as a successful IT specialist? To your mind, they all use data flow diagram examples to learn and to get inspired. Aren’t you still with us?Data Flow Diagram Examples *

If we divide computer networks by scale, we get several main categories. The smallest network is PAN, as it connects personal devices themselves, and as the number of users grows, a local area network can be recognized, and campus area networks (CAN) connects several local networks located within some area like a university or a corporation. Computers connected to CAN share public educational materials and list of CAN network examples includes such prestigious universities like Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. This is an example of a computer network diagram created for a campus area network. It was created using using ConceptDraw solution for the Computer and Network diagramming. The specific of this sample campus network is its distribution. It is rather broad to embrace a big campus territory. This diagram can be applied as a template for designing custom area network topology diagram for a particular educational institution.Campus Area Networks (CAN). <br>Computer and Network Examples *
