Cara membuat flowchart di ms visio

When you open the Basic Flowchart template, the Basic Flowchart Shapes stencil opens too. Each shape on the stencil represents a different step in a process.

Of all of the shapes on the Basic Flowchart Shapes stencil, only a few are commonly used. Those commonly used shapes are described here. For more information about he less commonly used shapes open the expandable link (Less frequently used flowchart shapes) at the end of this section.

Terminator Use this shape for the first and last step of your process.

Process This shape represents a step in your process.

Predefined process Use this shape for a set of steps that combine to create a sub-process that is defined elsewhere, often on another page of the same drawing.

Decision This shape indicates a point where the outcome of a decision dictates the next step. There can be multiple outcomes, but often there are just two —yes and no.

Document This shape represents a step that results in a document.

Data This shape indicates that information is coming into the process from outside, or leaving the process. This shape can also be used to represent materials and is sometimes called an Input/Output shape.

Flowchart shapes You can right-click this multi-shape to set to any of the following shapes: Process, Decision, Document, or Data. Any text you type onto the shape, or information you add to its Shape Data, remains with the shape.

This is what the shape looks like on the stencil:

This is what you see when you drag the shape onto the drawing page and right-click it:

Stored data Use this shape for a step that results in information being stored.

On-page reference This small circle indicates that the next (or previous) step is somewhere else on the drawing. This is particularly useful for large flowcharts where you would otherwise have to use a long connector, which can be hard to follow.

Off-page reference When you drop this shape onto your drawing page, a dialog box opens where you can create a set of hyperlinks between two pages of a flowchart or between a sub-process shape and a separate flowchart page that shows the steps in that sub-process.

Create a flowchart

On the File menu, point to New, point to Flowchart, and then click Basic Flowchart.
For each step in the process that you are documenting, drag a flowchart shape onto your drawing.

NOTE See the section What the flowchart shapes represent for information on which shapes to use for each step.

Connect the flowchart shapes in either of the following ways.

NOTE For information on other ways to connect shapes, see Add and glue connectors with the Connector tool.

Click the Pointer tool on the Standard toolbar to return to normal editing.
To add text to a shape or connector, select it, and then type. When you are finished typing, click on a blank area of the page.
To change the direction of a connector's arrow, select the connection, and then on the Shape menu, point to Operations, and click Reverse Ends.

Printing large flowcharts

The easiest way to print out a flowchart that is larger than your printer paper is to print it onto multiple pieces of paper and then tape the pieces together.

Before you start printing, however, it's important to make sure that the drawing page, as it appears in Visio, contains the entire flowchart. Any shapes that hang off the edge of the Visio drawing page will not print. You can see whether the drawing page is large enough for the flowchart by checking the preview on the Page Setupdialog box (File menu, Page Setup, Print Setup tab).

MAKE YOUR VISIO DRAWING PAGE FIT YOUR FLOWCHART

With your flowchart open, on the File menu click Page Setup.
Click the Page Size tab.
Under Page size click Size to fit drawing contents.

To see how the flowchart will print, look at the Print Preview, which is on the Filemenu. The figure below shows a flowchart that prints on four pieces of letter-sized paper.

PRINT A LARGE FLOWCHART ONTO MULTIPLE PIECES OF PAPER

On the File menu, click Page Setup.
On the Print Setup tab, in the Printer paper box, select the paper size you want if it isn't already selected. Don't click OK yet.
On the Page Size tab, click Size to fit drawing contents. The preview now shows the difference between the new page and the printer paper.
Click OK.
On the File menu, click Print Preview to see how the flowchart will print.

NOTE If there are shaded margins between the pages, they mark areas that print on both pieces of paper so that when you assemble the pieces there are no gaps in the flowchart.
