DESCRIPTION
What Do the Shapes Mean?
The flowchart uses more than just rectangles to represent steps. Here's what the different shapes indicate:
Rectangle (Process): A basic action or step in the process.
Diamond (Decision): A yes/no check that branches the flow depending on the result.
Hexagon (Sub-process): A reusable block or a defined subroutine that handles a specific task.
Cloud (External System): This indicates that something outside the main process is being used—like an external service or supporting system.
