Flowchart Predefined Process Vs Process
This shape takes two names subroutine or predefined process.
Flowchart predefined process vs process. The predefined process shape is also known as a subroutine and typically is used to simplify complex flowcharts by moving a large part of the flowchart to another flowchart. The main reason of using process flowchart or pfd is to show relations between major parts of the system. So to draw a process flowchart you should start with step 1. The same object is also called a predefined process.
A predefined process symbol is a marker for another process step or series of process flow steps that are formally defined elsewhere. Subroutines are portions of code that run and return the execution point to the calling function. This allows you to write one subroutine and call it as often as you like from anywhere in the code. If your aim is process analysis from a more top level perspective you might want to use other tools.
Subroutine or predefined process if you are flowcharting a software program this is called the subroutine shape. Before you can even start learning about the process you should make sure that a process flowchart is the right tool for the job. This shape commonly depicts sub processes or subroutines in programming flowcharts. Its called a subroutine if you use this object in flowcharting a software program.
Optionally you can then hyperlink this shape to the other flowchart.
