Building Process Flow Diagrams

Adding Nodes to a Diagram

You add nodes to the Diagram Workspace to create a process flow. Nodes should be connected in a logical order that represents the desired components of the sample, explore, modify, model, and assess (SEMMA) methodology.

You can add nodes to a process flow diagram in several ways:

Drag node icons from the Tools Palette of the Project Navigator to the Diagram Workspace.
Drag node icons from the Tools Bar to the Diagram Workspace. This task is accomplished the same way that you drag nodes from the Tools Palette.
Use the Diagram Workspace pop-up menu. Right-click on an open area in the Diagram Workspace, and select Add node. The Add Node window appears.

Select a node from the list. The node appears in the Diagram Workspace.
Double-click an open area in the Diagram Workspace to display the Add Node window.
Use the Actions main menu to select the Add Node menu item. This action opens the Add Node window.
