What is iGrafx® FlowCharter™ 2003?

iGrafx® FlowCharter™ 2003 is a business diagraming tool that makes it easy for

organizations of all sizes to visualize, document, and communicate the way their business

operates. The essential tool for ISO 9000 compliance, iGrafx FlowCharter lets you easily

create flowcharts, organization charts, process diagrams, and structured business diagrams

that visualize today’s fast changing business environment. Continuing the tradition of

diagramming excellence started by ABC FlowCharter®, iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 is the

foundation for any process improvement effort.

iGrafx FlowCharter can quickly help your organization create information-rich content

that communicates workflow and other organizational information. Novice iGrafx

FlowCharter users can take advantage of ready-to-use templates to easily create flowcharts,

control charts, comparison charts, organization charts, cascade diagrams, cause-&-effect

diagrams, hierarchical models, process maps, and timelines. In addition, intuitive drawing

features such as intelligent swimlanes, smart line routing, and advanced document

management tools can help you document even the most complex process, organizational

structure, or system in minimal time.

Diagrams created with iGrafx FlowCharter give you a simple, easy to understand way to

visualize the different workflows throughout your organization. You can quickly identify

problems and suggest improvements to ensure that your organization operates at peak

performance levels. iGrafx FlowCharter delivers the tools your organization needs to

visualize and communicate workflow information specific to your business.

To increase efficiency and facilitate teamwork, iGrafx FlowCharter easily integrates with

iGrafx® Process Central™ 2003 ¾ a repository that provides a central document storage

location. iGrafx Process Central also provides access control, approval tracking, audit trail,

version control, query, and link management features.

In addition, process maps created with iGrafx FlowCharter are upwardly compatible with

What’s New in iGrafx® FlowCharter™ 2003?

iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 includes many new and enhanced features that have been

designed to help you use the application effectively and efficiently.

Effortless Web publishing: The completely refurbished Publish Web Project command

now enables you to publish an entire directory of iGrafx and supporting documentation to

the Web with the click of a mouse. Once published, iGrafx FlowCharter manages and

maintains the project. For example, if you have an already published directory of 25 iGrafx

documents, you can modify three of the files, choose the Publish Web Project command,

and iGrafx FlowCharter automatically updates the project, changing only the documents

whose source was modified. In addition, the convenient tree control view makes it easy to

remove documents from the published directory, to select and publish an entire directory,

or to select only certain sub-directories for publication.

Publish to Microsoft® Office: iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 allows you to export to

Microsoft® PowerPoint® and Microsoft® Word. Now you can easily take advantage of the

visual information contained in iGrafx FlowCharter files by incorporating them into

presentation and text documentation, such as quality manuals for ISO 9000. All documents

exported from iGrafx FlowCharter retain pagination and features, such as automatic

off-page connectors, make it easy to navigate and understand multi-page diagrams.

reviewer’s guide

Database Import wizard: The intuitive Database Import wizard helps you import process

information from external databases into your iGrafx FlowCharter diagrams. For example,

you could store data, such as average process duration times, in an external database and

link the process model to the database. If you update the external data, the diagram can be

refreshed at any time, without having to recreate or modify the process model, and without

having to manually re-enter any data.

Pop-up notes: iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 uses pop-up notes to associate supporting

documentation with a shape in a process model. The supporting documentation further

describes the activity that a shape is associated with. The notes pop-up when the cursor is

positioned on a shape that contains supporting documentation. For convenience, this

feature can be toggled on and off.

Improved Align and Size commands: An anchor shape has been added to the Align and

Size functionality for iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 to further improve ease of use. When you

select multiple shapes to modify with the Align and Size commands, the new anchor shape

provides the basis for changing the dimensions and/or layout of the other selected shapes.

Flexible Print options: The improved Print dialog box in iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 gives

you more flexibility when printing enterprise-sized, multi-diagram documents. The Choose

Print Components dialog box lets you select and order the printing of components within

the document hierarchy. You can even define the starting page number so that printed

diagrams are easily combined with existing guides and manuals.

reviewer’s guide

New Explorer window: The new, dockable Explorer window is a powerful feature that

helps you manage the relationship between process diagrams and supporting documents

more efficiently. You can manage and manipulate components, repositories (if used in

conjunction with iGrafx Process Central), and diagrams. You can add, create, delete, and

reorganize existing elements, and you can easily navigate through directories and

sub-directories of process diagrams and supporting documentation. Double-clicking on a

link in the Explorer window automatically highlights the parent shape in the diagram.

Auto-zoom typing feature: To save time when updating large diagrams, iGrafx

FlowCharter 2003 includes a new feature that automatically magnifies text within the

shape that is being edited.

User-defined document currency symbol: In previous versions of iGrafx FlowCharter,

the Windows regional settings determined the document currency symbol. iGrafx

FlowCharter 2003 has given control of this functionality to the user so that process models

retain their currency settings when moved from one computer to another, no matter where

in the world the computers are found. For example, a process model created in the United

Kingdom using a £10 per hour resource rate will retain the same currency when a colleague

in Germany opens the document.

iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 8

reviewer’s guide

New Cause & Effect diagram tool: When you use the new Cause & Effect diagram tool,

the workspace opens with a default fishbone diagram, a Pareto chart, and a worksheet.

iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 links these three elements together so that the fishbone diagram

and Pareto chart are automatically updated when data values in the worksheet are

changed. The new diagram style communicates twice the information as a solitary fishbone

diagram and helps anyone involved in a process improvement project analyze and evaluate

their processes faster.

Designed for Windows XP: iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 is designed for Windows XP, which

means that it has theme-aware UI and visual styles support; fast user switching for multiple

users; and support for users with reduced access rights. In addition, iGrafx FlowCharter

conforms to strict data and settings management guidelines that separate user-editable files

and application defaults from the application and other settings. When navigating

Documents and Settings subfolders, functionality such as effect presets are now stored in a

User folder.

Key Features of iGrafx® FlowCharter™ 2003

iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 is an intelligent business diagraming and modeling solution

designed for business analysts, IT professionals, knowledge workers, managers, and quality

specialists that has set the standard for ease of use in a diagraming tool. With iGrafx

FlowCharter, it has never been easier to create free-form, structured, process, software, and

presentation diagrams.

The standard for ease of use

The iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 user interface has been streamlined to represent a

purpose-oriented workflow. In addition, many diagramming features have been enhanced

to provide automatic functionality that helps you get started quickly.

Auto-connect shapes: The auto-connect feature in iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 helps you

connect shapes quickly and easily without using the Connector Line tool. Simply click on

one shape and then drag and drop the cursor on the other shape that you want to connect.

The auto-connect feature automatically adds a connector line between the shapes. This

functionality makes the diagramming process more intuitive and will help you create

flowcharts and diagrams in record time.

Automatic off-page connectors: iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 uses automatic off-page

connectors to help make multi-page diagrams easier to read. Automatic off-page

connectors are lettered symbols and line segments that indicate the line’s source and

destination. For example, if you have two shapes that connect across a page boundary,

iGrafx FlowCharter can automatically insert a connector. This eliminates the confusion of

having to manually connect unlabeled “spaghetti” lines that cross over page boundaries.

This functionality is turned on and off by the user. The Off-Page Connectors tab in the

Format Diagram dialog box provides many options for customizing automatic off-page

connectors, including numeric or alphabetic labelling, and font style.

Replace Shape command: Another time-saving feature of iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 is

dynamic document editing and updating, which is accomplished using the Replace Shape

command. Simply select the shape or shapes that you want to change and then choose

Replace Shape from the Arrange menu. The Replace Shape dialog box will open to guide

you through this process. By using this feature, you can ensure that no shape data, link, or

other content is lost when updating your diagrams.

iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 10

reviewer’s guide

Automatic Line Routing: iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 features dynamic line management in

the form of automatic line routing. When you connect two shapes, iGrafx FlowCharter

automatically routes the connector line between them. If you modify the shapes in the

diagram, the Automatic Line Routing feature saves you considerable time by automatically

redrawing the connector lines between the shapes.

Unlimited page/diagram size: iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 imposes no limitation on page or

diagram size. The intuitive Page Setup dialog box gives you extensive options for specifying

page orientation, scaling, paper size, margins, headers and footers, and page order.

Tabular editing view: For convenience when editing long documents, iGrafx FlowCharter

2003 lets you choose between Normal and Tabular views. The Tabular view presents the

information in your diagram in a spreadsheet format. This feature is valuable when editing

and updating large, complex diagrams that contain a large amount of information.

Import filters: iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 includes more than 20 import filters, including

Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM), AutoCAD® (DWG), and Visio®. You can import and

re-purpose any documents created with Visio.

Build enterprise models

A process map only goes so far in describing how your business operates. The key to truly

visualize, understand, and improve your processes is modeling and simulation. By adding

information to a process map about how work gets done, you will be able to build a replica

of real-life processes. The replica, or process model, can then be experimented with for

testing proposed process improvements. This method of modeling and simulation can save

your organization considerable time and money during a process improvement initiative.

iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 includes many features that help make it easy for you to get a

head start on building process models.

Intelligent Departments (swim lanes): When you create a Process diagram type,

Departments, or swim lanes, appear in the diagram by default. When you place a shape

within a Department, the shape is anchored to that department. If you choose to reposition

the Department, the shape automatically moves with it. You can also add Departments to a

Basic diagram type.

Phase lines: When creating a Process diagram type, you can add Phase lines to indicate

relative time periods. For example, you may want to add three phases to a production

diagram ¾ pre-production, production, and post-production. The Phase lines provide a

visual break to illustrate various segments of a process flow. Phase lines may only be placed

in a Process diagram or a Basic diagram that has Departments.

iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 11

reviewer’s guide

Organization Charts: Organization Charts are specialized diagrams that help you create

professional organizational charts from a single top-level shape to every employee below.

iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 provides you with an OrgChart Builder that helps you create an

Organization Chart without having to manually add shapes to your diagram. The

OrgChart Builder shown below helps you add subordinate and assistant shapes to your

organization chart quickly and easily.

In addition, iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 includes import funtionality that automatically

creates an Organization Chart from a Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet containing

organizational structure information. You can import a human resources database and

iGrafx FlowCharter will automatically produce an Organization Chart. The intuitive

OrgChart - Excel Worksheet Select dialog box guides you through this process.

iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 12

reviewer’s guide

Custom Data dialog box: The Custom Data dialog box lets you add user-definable

process metrics to your diagrams to quantify time, cost, resources, and other valuable

performance measures.

Extend and customize

From support for Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications, to upward compatibility with

the entire range of iGrafx enterprise process management solutions, iGrafx FlowCharter

2003 is the foundation for any process improvement initiative and includes options for

extension and customization.

Support for Microsoft Visual Basic: iGrafx FlowCharter 2003 supports integration with

Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications so that you can customize, extend, and integrate

iGrafx FlowCharter with other applications. You can integrate iGrafx FlowCharter with

your own business applications, or create and add custom functionality that leverages the

industry’s best business graphics diagramming engine.

iGrafx Process Central 2003 ready: iGrafx Process Central 2003 is a central process

repository that provides a collaborative environment for enterprise process management.

Take advantage of features like version control, audit trail, query, approval tracking, access

control, and link management to manage change, share business models, and successfully

implement process improvement projects.

iGrafx Enterprise Process Management upward compatibility: iGrafx FlowCharter

2003 is the foundation of the iGrafx EPM solutions. The skills acquired through the use of

iGrafx FlowCharter are immediately transferable to the other products in the iGrafx family.

In addition, any data or diagrams created with iGrafx FlowCharter are completely

compatible with iGrafx EPM solutions. The diagram below illustrates how iGrafx

FlowCharter fits into the iGrafx family.
