7 Steps 22 Steps

How it Works

  1. Start Terminator automatically added to the flowchart when the Start Flowcharting toolbar button is clicked.
    (optional + the text can be customized)
  2. "Read" was made a Keyword for the Data (aka I/O) shape in the Settings form.
  3. The default shape for entries is a Process shape.
  4. Entries with a "?" map to a Decision shape (optional) - with choice labels added (optional).
  5. Some steps, such as closing branch loops, still need to be done manually.
  6. "doc:" was identified as a Prefix for the Document shape in the Settings form.
    (Note: an alternate method would be to identify "report" as a Keyword for the Document shape.)
  7. Stop Terminator automatically added to the flowchart when the Stop Flowcharting toolbar button is clicked.
    (optional + the text can be customized)
