UML sequence diagram example

"A sequence diagram is an interaction diagram that shows how processes operate with one another and in what order. It is a construct of a Message Sequence Chart. A sequence diagram shows object interactions arranged in time sequence. It depicts the objects and classes involved in the scenario and the sequence of messages exchanged between the objects needed to carry out the functionality of the scenario. Sequence diagrams are typically associated with use case realizations in the Logical View of the system under development. Sequence diagrams are sometimes called event diagrams, event scenarios."

This example was drawn on the base of chart from the webpage "Run your nursing department like a business" on the website of the University of Utah Health Care. "With centralized, global staffing and smaller, flexible nursing pods on each unit, University of Utah Health Care has a healthier financial outlook than ever before, taking care of 11% more patients with 4% less labor—a reduction in nursing labor costs of $100 per patient day."

"A run chart, also known as a run-sequence plot is a graph that displays observed data in a time sequence. Often, the data displayed represent some aspect of the output or performance of a manufacturing or other business process." [Run chart. Wikipedia]

This line graph templates shows the number of tourists visiting the resort town for six months. Use it to design your time series line charts in ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"A time series is a sequence of data points, measured typically at successive points in time spaced at uniform time intervals. ... Time series are very frequently plotted via line charts. Time series are used in statistics, signal processing, pattern recognition, econometrics, mathematical finance, weather forecasting, earthquake prediction, electroencephalography, control engineering, astronomy, and communications engineering. Time series analysis comprises methods for analyzing time series data in order to extract meaningful statistics and other characteristics of the data. Time series forecasting is the use of a model to predict future values based on previously observed values. While regression analysis is often employed in such a way as to test theories that the current values of one or more independent time series affect the current value of another time series, this type of analysis of time series is not called "time series analysis", which focuses on comparing values of time series at different points in time. Time series data have a natural temporal ordering." [Time series. Wikipedia]

Use this bar graph template to design your column charts for 1-4 data series.
"Bar charts have a discrete range. Bar charts are usually scaled so all the data can fit on the chart. Bars on the chart may be arranged in any order. Bar charts arranged from highest to lowest incidence are called Pareto charts. Normally, bars showing frequency will be arranged in chronological (time) sequence. Grouped bar graph usually present the information in the same order in each grouping. Stacked bar graphs present the information in the same sequence on each bar.
Bar charts provide a visual presentation of categorical data. Categorical data is a grouping of data into discrete groups, such as months of the year, age group, shoe sizes, and animals. These categories are usually qualitative. In a column bar chart, the categories appear along the horizontal axis; the height of the bar corresponds to the value of each category." [Bar chart.
