Flow Chart Symbols

Flow chart symbols are used to present workflows and processes visually. The main symbols include: - Terminal symbols like ovals to indicate the start and end of a process. - Shapes like rectangles for processing steps, parallelograms for input/output, and diamonds for decision points. - Arrows called flowlines that connect the symbols and show the sequence and flow of steps in a process. Flowcharts are commonly used in business to illustrate workflows and procedures using standardized graphic symbols connected by arrows to represent sequential steps.

Flow Chart Symbols


This is a Flow Chart
Start
Flowchart shows steps in sequential order
Connector End with the use of symbols such as arrow, box,
diamond, etc..

sInput/output

It is widely used in presenting the workflow or


processes of such companies. Typically, a
flowchart shows the steps using shapes of
various kinds, and their orders are connected
Processing Decision using arrows.
Terminal
Terminal – It indicates start
and end of the program or
Start/End system. This is the first and
last symbol in the flowchart
and is represented by an
oval.
Input/Output
Input/Output – represented by a
parallelogram. It denotes any function of input
or output.
sInput/output
Program instructions that requires entering a
data such as age, gender, birthday and display
this information using an output devices is being
represented by input/output symbol.
Processing
Processing – represented by a rectangle. Any
step that requires processing of information
should be represented by a rectangle.
Processing
Processing – represented by a rectangle. Any step that
requires processing of information should be represented
by a rectangle. For example, when you enter your
username and password, it will go through a process of
validation in which the system will check the validity of
your data. This process should be represented by a
rectangle.
Desicion
Decision – Decision based
operations such as yes/no or
Decision true/false statements should
be represented by a
diamond.
Connector
Connector – represented by a
circle. Whenever flowchart
Connector becomes complex or it spreads
over more than one page, it is
useful to use connectors to
avoid any confusions.
Flowlines
Flowlines - indicates the exact
sequence in which instructions
are executed. Arrows represent
the direction of flow of control
and relationship among
different symbols of flowchart.
