Step : Denotes a single activity in the process

11. 9. The flowchart should be clear, neat and easy to follow
10. Any step (i.e. action), or terminator symbol should only have one input line
and one output line
11. Any decision should have one input and up to three outputs
12. Multi-connectors are used to allow unification of input into any step
symbol
13. Off-page connectors are used to break up complex flowcharts in to
smaller sections
14. Sub-flowchart symbols are used to move from one flowchart (i.e. process)
to a totally different flowchart
15. Finally, the flowchart’s validity is tested by passing test data through it to
ensure that process flow depicted in the flowchart mirrors that of the
actual process being mapped
