How to use Data Flow Diagram Template

To begin using the Data Flow Diagram Template, follow these simple steps:

Identify inputs and outputs
For each process, define at least one input and one output to ensure completeness. Locate the blue, rounded rectangles marked "external entity" on either side of the template, edit their labels, and add more as needed by duplicating them.
Identify processes
Use the circles labeled "Process" to represent activities or functions that alter data. Edit the text inside each circle to name your processes. Duplicate or delete circles to suit your specific system needs.
Identify data stores
The template includes symbols labeled "data store" to show where data is kept within the system. Edit the labels to reflect your data storage areas, and adjust the position by dragging them on the diagram.
Label data flows
Arrows on the template show data movement between entities. Label these arrows to specify the type of data flowing between elements and adjust their direction as needed.
