UML Diagram

The accepted open standard that is used in software engineering and system design, when modeling object-oriented systems and business processes is known as Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML was created for definition, visualization, design and documentation software systems. It isn't a programming language, but on the base of UML model can be generated code. UML uses generic set of graphic notations for creation an abstract model of the system called UML-model. The UML notation lets visually represent requirements, subsystems, structural and behavioral patterns, logical and physical elements, etc. UML defines 13 types of diagrams: Class (Package), Use Case, Sequence, Object, Collaboration, Component, Timing, Interaction Overview, State Machine, Composite Structure, Activity, and Deployment. All these types of UML Diagrams can be fast and easy created with powerful ConceptDraw PRO software extended with special Rapid UML solution from Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

UML Composite Structure Diagram

UML Composite Structure Diagram shows the internal structure of a class and the possible interactions at this structure.

Basic Flowchart Symbols and Meaning

Flowcharts are the best for visually representation the business processes and the flow of a custom-order process through various departments within an organization. ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Flowcharts solution offers the full set of predesigned basic flowchart symbols which are gathered at two libraries: Flowchart and Flowcharts Rapid Draw. Among them are: process, terminator, decision, data, document, display, manual loop, and many other specific symbols. The meaning for each symbol offered by ConceptDraw gives the presentation about their proposed use in professional Flowcharts for business and technical processes, software algorithms, well-developed structures of web sites, Workflow diagrams, Process flow diagram and correlation in developing on-line instructional projects or business process system. Use of ready flow chart symbols in diagrams is incredibly useful - you need simply drag desired from the libraries to your document and arrange them in required order. There are a few serious alternatives to Visio for Mac, one of them is ConceptDraw PRO. It is one of the main contender with the most similar features and capabilities.

Types of Flowcharts

A Flowchart is a graphical representation of process, algorithm, workflow or step-by-step solution of the problem. It shows the steps as boxes of various kinds and connects them by arrows in a defined order depicting a flow. There are twelve main Flowchart types: Basic Flowchart, Business Process Modeling Diagram (BPMN), Cross Functional Flowchart, Data Flow Diagram (DFD), IDEF (Integrated DEFinition) Flowchart, Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) Diagram, Influence Diagram (ID), Swimlane Flowchart, Process Flow Diagram (PFD), Specification and Description Language (SDL) Diagram, Value Stream Mapping, Workflow Diagram. Using the Flowcharts solution from the Diagrams area of ConceptDraw Solution Park you can easy and quickly design a Flowchart of any of these types. This solution offers a lot of special predesigned vector symbols for each of these widely used notations. They will make the drawing process of Flowcharts much easier than ever. Pay also attention for the included collection of ready Flowchart examples, samples and quick-start templates. This is business process improvement tools. If you are looking for MS Visio for your Mac, then you are out of luck, because it hasn't been released yet. However, you can use Visio alternatives that can successfully replace its functions. ConceptDraw PRO is an alternative to MS Visio for Mac that provides powerful features and intuitive user interface for the same.

How to Connect Social Media DFD Flowchart with Action Maps

The Social Media Response solution creates interactive social media flow charts and action mind maps. The solution includes a video tutorial and a number of samples helping social media teams refine and organize their response process.

Work Order Process Flowchart. Business Process Mapping Examples

The business process is a set of actions or tasks which are undertaken by an organization for production some goods or services, they are then offered for the customers and are ordered by them. Process Flowcharts and Order Process Flowcharts are sufficiently prevalent, well known and actively used in variety of fields of life, business and science. They are constructed using the common standardized symbols, thus are clear and understandable for all. They help effectively represent the processes, determine the order in which the process activities happen, document the order processes, and also effectively analyze the processes with a goal to increase their efficiency. Create your own Process Flowcharts, Order Process Flowcharts, Cross-Functional Flow Charts representing the order processing steps using powerful drawing tools of ConceptDraw PRO software and variety of predesigned vector objects from the libraries of Business Process Mapping Solution from Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Fire Exit Plan. Building Plan Examples

Fire exit plan or Emergency exit plan is an obligatory scheme for schools, universities, hospitals, hotels, business centers, metro, airports, and a lot of other buildings, public and private institutions. Fire exit plan depicts detailed plan of the building with marked emergency exits on it and helps to implement faster evacuation in various emergencies such as a fire. If a regular exit is blocked by fire, the plan helps to find the alternative exits, on the route to which are placed the signs leading to it. Fire and Emergency Plans solution from the Building Plans area of ConceptDraw Solution Park provides examples and samples, Fire and Emergency Plan quick-start template and vector stencils library with fire-fighting equipment design elements for drawing different types of emergency and fire schemes and plans: Evacuation plans, Fire Exit plans, Home Emergency plans, School Emergency plans, Office Emergency plans, Fire Emergency plans, Fire Evacuation plans, Fire Safety diagrams, Business Emergency plans, etc.
